I acquired an 18 month old 1/2 Bengal and 1/2 either Canadian Lynx or Jungle Cat (spayed female) about 2-1/2 weeks ago. After the flight she was terrified for days but is now settling down. She has the run of the house and was very good about using her litter box, but is now pooping on my bed. I have washed the covers and have resorted to using urine gone, but she still wants to do it. I feed her, and play with her, and talk to her, and I keep her litter boxes very clean. She does urinate in the boxes. I thought that perhaps she was triggered by smells of my recently deceased cat.

Any ideas or suggestions? I would eventually like to have this cat sleep with me and be able to pick her up. But I refuse to share my bed with cat poop!

On another note, I have yet to be able to pet this cat. I am waiting for her to come to me and she is still timid.

Thanks
