Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I had at least one cat (two once) from age 9 till about 47 years old. The only time they wouldn’t use the litter box was when it was filthy! Yet one cat the most stubborn, a calico, would use it if I never changed it. Cats are the most unique, strange and stubborn animals God made.
It’s possible they don’t like the cat litter. I never had an issue but I’ve read some are very picky about where they poop.
Are they young kittens, new to you, or older? After my experience bringing in a mom and her kitten then she gets pregnant delivered four kittens I learned kittens have to taught to use the litter box. If mom is absent humans have to teach. Thankfully she taught them. I’m cat free now because the selfish dog was scared to death. I miss having a cat but not the litter box.
I think there’s a spray or something you can use to keep them off furniture. Maybe something for litter box habits. Good luck hopefully it will work out.
