Teresa, did they have litter trays in the cupboard? If not,they're probably used to peeing on whatever surface they had in there. If it was carpet you can do the carpet in the tray trick. (Piece of carpet gradually being covered more and more with cat lit, eventually moving the carpet altogether.)

Am just going to try a softer litter in 2 of the trays nearest to where the piddler strikes; solar powered light sounds good will give it a go; right now this old granny is grateful for any new ideas

Ah the joys of the free-piddler!

A new litter texture may do the trick, but make sure you change over slowly or you may set off the others also (teaching my grandmother to suck eggs here I am sure). Could you leave a nightlight on? One of those solar powered cheapies should do the trick if it is light-based behaviour...

Trying to think how to solve this problem, 2 piddles and 1 poop still on pen floor, they have been vet checked, have 6 litter trays in their pen as well as Minimopsicals pads. Some trays are low some are higher they even have a covered one outside,going to go and buy a different litter to see if that helps; Whichever kitten or kittens it is they are only doing it during the night I wonder if they are stressed by the dark.
Everywhere is cleaned with virkon and simple solution used so its not smell related.
Anyone got any ideas ?

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #61 on:** July 20, 2007, 11:18:37 AM »

Theres one little one still piddling on the floor and theres no way of me finding out which one. I will not be beaten on this and until I think of a solution will continue moping up

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #60 on:** July 20, 2007, 08:08:51 AM »

Aww, glad they are making good progress and only one is pregnant.

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #59 on:** July 19, 2007, 20:58:56 PM »

One little accident on the floor this morning but what the heck, these little ones have made wonderful progress

More brilliant news! Just need some loving homes for them now.

Gla to hear they're getting better with their toiletting. Shame about their teeth though poor little mites.

Sabrina (Auferstehen) · « **Reply #56 on:** July 18, 2007, 10:58:54 AM »

That's great news!

Hopefully they'll keep it up

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #55 on:** July 18, 2007, 10:55:35 AM »

I am sooooooooo proud of my little cupboard family this morning;piddle and poop all in the litter trays despite their ordeal at the vets yesterday; fingers crossed that their newly aquired toilet habits continue. Alice (mum) is recovering well from her spay.

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #54 on:** July 17, 2007, 13:44:36 PM »

thank goodness you are getting them all sorted, the mind boggles as to how an earth kittens can have bad teeth..poor mites.

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #53 on:** July 17, 2007, 13:34:38 PM »

Yes, at least they are all safe. How are Tansy and Tara coming along behaviourally?

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #52 on:** July 17, 2007, 11:14:14 AM »

Aw T that's fab news! Sorry about the teeth for the older lot, but so glad that they are all ok(ish). Just a little care at Piddle Towers

and they'll be settled on their paws.

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #51 on:** July 17, 2007, 11:11:07 AM »

Alice and the 5 kittens have been to the vets for vaccinations this morning. They all have terrible teeth thankfully kittens will have adult teeth to fall back on. Alice is not pregnant so she is being spayed and microchipped today,she has also tested negative Fiv/Felv, a huge relief. Vet says kittens are grossly undersized and says they are at least a month older than they look.
Amelia the pregnant one I thought looked about 6months old until I saw her teeth and then I decided 5years so perhaps she is a youngster after all;the mind boggles.
At least they are all safe and this morning no poop or piddle on the floor,hopefully the vet trip wont set them back.

Still considering changing from Paws Inn to Piddle Towers or maybe Poop Hall,almost there but one kitten still pooping and at least one maybe two weeing everywhere; all off to vets in the morning for check up and vaccinations if vet thinks they are well enough apart from little Amelia the pregnant one. Also taking the mum Alice to see if she is indeed pregnant. All 5 kittens play happily now but they are still all sleeping in the outdoor run.

Ruth No need for you to leave without one, you can stay here with them all piddle an all.

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #48 on:** July 16, 2007, 08:01:40 AM »

Oh Teresa how could you! How could you!!!!

You know my weakness for B&W babies with little smudgies on their noses! How am I going to leave without one of them?! Tell me that! Huh Missus! I swear these cats do it just because they know they have weaklings like me coming to visit soon.

I love them. I want them.. all! Lexy will make do. I promise, nasty claw and all.

Cheesecat · « **Reply #47 on:** July 16, 2007, 07:52:59 AM »

Awwww they are all beautiful

Mum Alice looks tiny!

I love love love Tammy... look at that little gorgeous innocent face

Reynard · « **Reply #46 on:** July 15, 2007, 22:47:54 PM »

I've only just caught up with this... I just can't understand how folks can do this sort of thing, not when I look at my two free to come and go in the house and garden and be waited upon hand and foot.

This sort of thing makes me so cross, but kudos to Teresa for taking these little ones on and giving them what they need.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #45 on:** July 15, 2007, 15:47:58 PM »

Aww, I am so glad they are with someone like you, and are going to get the chance of a wonderful life now, if anyone can help them trust, you can.

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #44 on:** July 15, 2007, 10:46:07 AM »

Tansy and Tara are the little scaredy ones.

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #43 on:** July 15, 2007, 10:41:01 AM »

Yes, thank goodness they are out of there.

Which are the timid two?

Alice and 3 of the kittens coming to me for a fuss this morning,the remaining kittens still very timid. All poop in the litter trays, only 3 puddles on the floor;progress is being made. They are all looking so much happier and healthier than when they arrived earlier in the week; I just look at them and feel a big lump in my throat and keep fighting back the tears of joy that they are now out of that hell hole. They are lovely and deserve so much more bless them.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #40 on:** July 14, 2007, 23:16:01 PM »

Glad they've got names now - gives them all a bit more of an identity!

I guess it's like everything - it's going to take time.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #39 on:** July 14, 2007, 22:54:27 PM »

Sounds like they are scared to be inside incase they get shut in again

I am sure that they will learn quite fast that you will not hurt them and they are able to come and go as they like................just a matter of trust

blackcat · « **Reply #38 on:** July 14, 2007, 21:13:58 PM »

I like the way Tara is hamming it up in the background of tammy's pic - bit of a show-girl there!!

Teresa, I am sending you this huge hug!

The work you do is amazing.

I'm sure you'll be able to make them see not all humans are completely unaware of their emotional wellbeing.

Poor things.

Team Svartalfheims · « **Reply #34 on:** July 14, 2007, 10:55:01 AM »

What an awful situation! I am so pleased that they are now being well cared for, well fed and most importantly well loved for the first times in their little lives. You do such an amazing job T.

I've got my fingers crossed that the possibly early pregnant puss isn't, poor little girl.

They are gorgeous cats and kittens and they will simply blossom under your love and care

Good to hear they are doing well, keep up the good work St. Teresa

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #32 on:** July 14, 2007, 09:43:49 AM »

Two lots of poop on floor this morning and so much wee the carpet has had to be destroyed.Two of the kittens are still quite traumatised,the others are playing but so timid bless them. The mother cat is becoming increasingly confident and enjoys being stroked so I guess its 2 steps forward and one step backward. The whole family is still choosing to stay in the little outside run even to sleep,they only seem to go inside the chalet for food and toilet. This is going to take time.

ChrisB · « **Reply #31 on:** July 13, 2007, 21:47:55 PM »

They are all beautiful - Teresa, I still cannot believe what a wonderful rescue you have - these babies are all so lucky to be with you now.

Awwww, bless 'em! Glad they're starting to come out of their shells a bit. It must be hard for them - having been deprived of real socialisation until now.
