>I hope youre doing good.  Hey I have a question for you.  Hayden has this

>urinate in corners and such.  I know you have a few cats.  Do they do this
>if they are not fixed?  Is it a frequent thing or just while they are in heat?  
>Just wondering what you know.  I bought this spray and I just used it,
>hopefully it will work.

>Thanks,

>>I take it from the remark about "in heat" that it is a female.

>>First question:  how long have you had it and had it indoors ??  
>>Second question:  Is the litter box where it is easy for her to find
>>and use ??  Third question:  Do you have other indoor cats and if so
>>how many litter boxes ??

>>Some people try to hide the box so it is out of sight and expect a kitten
>>to find it and if it is in a new home the kitten has to become accustomed
>>to things let alone find a litter box.  If she knows where it is can she EASILY
>>get in and out of it and is it kept clean ??  I had one kitten that I took in that
>>would not use a litter box at first even if it had ANYTHING in it.  I had to make
>>sure that I kept it absolutely clean at all times.  Eventually she became so she
>>was not so fussy but I still need to clean it a couple times a day at least.  Also
>>how old is Hayden and do people try to pick the kitten up and hold it constantly?  
>>If it is new it will need time to get used to things without having to worry about
>>being grabbed all the time.

>>When I took in mine I started out by keeping them confined to one room (I used
>>the bathroom) that preferably did not have carpeting and I put a litter box and food
>>and water in there.  I would spend some time with them each day and once I seen
>>that they used the litter box I moved it to my computer room / spare bedroom for a
>>couple days where I kept the food and litter box for others (I have 2 boxes for 4
>>babies and they are in different locations cleaned AT LEAST twice a day).

>>Also try Feliway which is a spray to keep them from going where you do not want
>>them to and if they look like they have to go put them in the box which you could
>>do every so often even if they do not look like they have to go.  GIVE IT TIME TO
>>LEARN !!  REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE A BABY YOU DID NOT POTTY
>>TRAIN OVERNIGHT AND YOU HAD ACCIDENTS !!  Also if you have a news
>>server you might want to check out the cat news groups.  
>>There is a lot of help available there.
