    Hey there, you could try placing the cat inside the litter tray every few minutes.......:)
    That's what i did when i got my 2 kitty's, i know it's an adult cat but try it out;)

    Has this just started happening or has she never used the litter tray? If it is a new thing she might have a urinary tract infection or cystitis. Just a thought, vet visit might be on the cards.

    if its a new occurance in a cat that was prviously litter trained then you should bring the puss to the vet. my old cat who was normally v.clean started doing this and it was a urinary infection. According to my vet, you need to be careful of this as some infections cause chrystals to form, which can cause blockages which in turn can cause very serious illness and in some cases death as the toxins build up and the liver can't cope.

    poor old Suki is no longer with me, but she was prone to cystitis and urinary infections and had to be put on a special diet. She used to cost me a fortune, but was worth it!
