>>Details:

>>4 cats (this problem did not start when we added another cat)

>>4 litter boxes: in various places of the house, I have tried the lid trick and different types of litter, two of the boxes are right next to eacher, She always #2 right outside the box

>>I've tried the nature's miracle stuff

>>I've tried apple bitter

>>I've taken her to the vet - He gave her anxiety medicine which just have her the runs

>>I've even tried locking her up in a room by herself for two weeks- She seems to use the box then but when I left her out she goes back to her old ways

>>Any ideas? I'm at my wit's end. This has been going on for a year now.



It may take more than 2 weeks to retrain her to the box. Do you notice if she hangs over the box and "misses" when she does this, or is she actually squatting outside the box? If this is the case, I would something under the box so your floor doesn't get ruined. I would also try a different anti-anxiety med if the one you got causes diarreha.
