Hi I just got a 1 1/2 yr old sphynx cat Friday night. We have 2 greyhounds she is trying to get used to. We have 2 litter boxes for her. One in our stair well and one in the basement. Can't keep one upstairs b/c of dogs. She uses the boxes during the day and when we confine her in the basement when we are gone (don't want dog and cat fights until we know they are okay together.) The dogs sleep with us in our room and Mia slept under the bed most of the night. She went in our bathroom in the middle of the night-we have a carpeted bathroom but at least she chose the right room! Do you think she is afraid to leave the room at night to go down stairs and use the box because the dogs are out? The dogs are very good with her. One is just interested in what she is doing all the time. Do I confine her to the basement at night? I'll never see her as we work all day too. What should I do? Thanks for any suggestions!
