Well, the good news is Charlotte doesn't have any health issues. The bad news is she doesn't have any health issues, so there's no quick fix for her inappropriate elimination behavior.
We're on a watch and see basis right now. If she goes back to using the box, our biggest concern is her getting lost when we're on the road. If she continues to use the couch (or any other spot she shouldn't) we have to consider finding her a home with no other pets, with people who will let her in & out frequently.
She's really a sweet kitty. She tolerates what the vet needs to do. She puts up with Marley treating her like another puppy. She even starts some of the "play" sessions. She sometimes sleeps between us for a while, under the covers. She sometimes gets some lap time - with or without Marley.
But, she wants to be outside and she wants to be inside.
We'll keep thinking, hoping the perfect solution will come along.
Marley was out of sorts all day yesterday. It was like he wanted/needed something but didn't know what it was. We babied him a little (more than usual), but he just had to deal with it.
Now that Charlotte's back home he really wants to play with her. She really wants to check all over and make sure home is still the same as it was a few days ago. It is, except there are now 2 litter boxes in the bathroom. The covered one with the walnut litter and the tall one with the fine clay litter. We like the walnut litter because it clumps as well as the clay, but doesn't develop an odor like clay does (you scoop often but it starts to smell like pee) and it's biodegradable, unlike the clay. But, we'll use whichever she chooses at this point.
