Since only 2-3 eat our home made we use a jar in 2-3 days (We only eat home made for one meal) and take another out on the last day to defrost in the fridge. They have large and smaller jars depending on how much food you use and they are a good price.
A rule we use here is if I would eat it they can. If I would not they will not.

| Purred: Wed Feb 6, '13 7:27am PST |  |  |  |  | It may be that she just needs to be re-introduced to the way of the home. Cats are naturally very clean so there may be some reason why she started this behavior. Once started cats are by nature very habit oriented so one thing is to reset that habit.
The problem with putting saran on the sink was that it showed "OK, you can go here". Also not good to spray a cat for pooping. The cat does not know why they are being sprayed. It will just impact your relationship. Also if the cats pan is in the room and she is sprayed she may make the wrong connection. Remember she can smell a perfectly clean litter pan as hers!
So we need to check some things before resetting her Poop-Plan.
1. Is the pan in a place where it is private? Cats like privacy. High traffic is no good.
2. Are there other pets? Is this a territorial issue? One pan per cat at least is the rule.
3. Territorial may not mean just in the home. Middining is pooping to mark territory. If there are strays outside she may be doing this.
4. Covered pan? Open it!
5. Scented Litter? Use unscented!
6. There are wonderful "Starter Litters". You can find these at your local pet store. Ask and you shall receive.
7. Have you changed litter? If so change back!
8. How big is your home? The kitten may need several pans. One on each floor and possibly more if you have a big home.
OK Now to the Re-Configuring Poop-Plan
As said cats are clean. She may need to spend time in a place that is small (Powder room) with a clean pan. She will go in the pan not in the room if it is in there. Leave her there when you are not at home and at night. Once she starts using the pan slowly let her out for longer and longer times. Once she starts going she will keep it up. It may help to put her in with her pan after meals. I know my crew all have set times for pan duty. My Rumpy goes every day when I come home. Greetings Pops! MOL!
Hope this helps! |  |  |  |  |

| Purred: Wed Feb 6, '13 7:08am PST |  |  |  |  | BK is spot on. You need to make sure this is not an allergy or some medical issue. Cats also over groom due to behavioral issues. Stress is one. Are there any new cats in the home or outside? Other changes? New People? Maybe try to really get her busy with play. I know my fellows all get a bit out of sorts if they do not work off that energy. Some cats also respond very well to medication. That is also something to speak to your vet about.
