18m old rescue cat, brought home from vet 5 nights ago. Long, narrow house, litter box in laundry at end opposite to beds. Only doors are on bed and bathrooms.
Day 1 & 2, cat uses litter box successfully. Night 1 & 2, we shut cat in shower room with food, pillow, litter box, because (a) ime, cats do better in a new place at night if their movement is restricted, (b) it's close to bedrooms so I'll hear if she's distressed, and (c) there is no way of shutting her in the laundry.
Night 3, I think she's settled enough to roam house at night. Cat poops in bath tub - note this is a separate room to shower room.
Night 4, cat poops in bath in early morning but after family is stirring.
Night 5, cat poops in bath in late evening, while I'm still up and about.
what do i need to do to persuade cat back into litter box and stop using my bath?!??!
