I have multiple boxes now. I have already tried cleaning everyday, it doesn't matter. It will be a clean box and if given the chance, 1 of 3 times she will use the carpet by the air vent or power cords behind desk. Boxes in her 'favorite' spots do not matter. I am now a week or two into using a dog crate?. I have her box, food, bed and toys in it. I take her out to play, but still, sometimes she sneaks and poops. I guess I just have to be more strict in making her only choice the litter box, but honestly chasing her and a 3yr old is hard sometimes.
I am down to trying maybe cat attract litter? I think that is what it is called. I am going to look for it this weekend.
I have learned she was abandoned with a litter and the only female. The males in her litter don't have this issue though. They were abandoned too young, and fed with bottles. I learned that if a kitten is weened too young, it may not have learned proper hygine from it's mother. Angle does not have proper hygine. She can not cover her poop for some reason, and after she goes, if she jumps on you she will get it on you. She never gets it clean off her tail. My older cat has tried very hard to teach her, I see her cleaning and taking up with her. Angel just does not get it. I also learned if this is the case for her, that she will never be clean like the other cats or poop 100% in the litter box. That although the other cat may try to teach her, and I may try, we just can't do it like her mother.
So, I don't know. Thanks for your suggestions but I am out of ideas other then a behaviorist, but I have no experience with them.
