Pregnant cat not using litter tray
by Melissa
(UK)
My cat is heavily pregnant with her first litter, she's only 10 months old. My neighbours decided they didn't want her so she's been living with me for about a week. The problem is she wont use her litter tray. She's too pregnant to let her outside and she will get into the tray and scratch around, but seems incapable. I've actually had to take the litter tray into my neighbours house and that's the only time she will go. I'm worried because I want her to feel settled enough in my home to birth and raise her kittens, but she obviously doesn't. I don't know what to do, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Hi
She needs a period of time to get used to her new home and her new litter tray etc. the best way to do this is to confine her to one room for a week or so with her bed and litter toys and only letting her out to eat.
