Still no progress with Maylee. I've researched this whole litter thing, and I've read several places that if a kitten is going right next to the litter box, she WANTS to be using the litter box but has found something wrong with it (not clean enough, doesn't like the litter, etc.). Cinderella couldn’t keep those litter boxes any cleaner than I’m keeping them, so I decided to buy a different litter, as an experiment. I went to the pet store today in search for some super-soft velvet-textured litter for Princess and the Pea-type kittens.

The only “alternative” litter they had was recycled-paper pellet litter for environment-conscious hippie cats. It’s scent-free and claims to be soft, so maybe it will do the trick. I’ve already put the new litter in a third box between the other two, so that there is now a frickin' buffet of litter box choices.
