I have a cat that is having accidents, potty wise daily here. I had come to the decision she will have to stay outside alot. She has been begging to go outside. I finally started taking her out, several times a day, 10 min. at a time. She was doing so well. I was out with her alot today, I have a hay field and woods around me. I do have two animal aggressive dogs in a 5 ft. fence. What does this cat do? Goes right to a tree one inch from these dogs pen, goes up the tree. The dogs are intently, quietly watching her. She could get over in their pen. Luckily she came down the tree, was unconcerned with the dogs, which in itself worries me. I put her right then inside the house. She can't go out again like that. I can't believe she would choose to be by those dogs. We are getting our fencing etc...this week and building a cat enclosure Sat. or Sunday. The kitties can then go out the window into the enclosure. It will be 20 feet by 12 feet or larger. I hope that is big enough for about 7 adult cats and 7 kittens. I want to make it bigger. We will see. This cat is going to drive me crazy wanting out the rest of the week but I can't chance it.
If these dogs weren't here I would allow several of my inside cats to go out. I have alot of other cats that are outside, they never go by the dogs area which is probally 35 feet by 65 feet. The dogs are about 8 years old, I didn't know to socialize them as puppies, they are fine with people. I wish I could re-home them but it would be hard. Donna

I think your cats will love the enclosure.
I'm sure the enclosure will help a lot.
Donna,
If your cat is having problems using the litter box, perhaps you should take her to a vet and see if there is a urinary tract infection. Very often that is the reason cats avoid the litter box.
