I've tried to get her to use the pee pads too but she's only done this a couple times.
I'm worried she;s going to give herself a UTI

Have any of you tried that potty patch? I've been going back and forth on trying it. I just don;t want to waste my money. I almost bought one the other day at PetCo but I noticed that the box appeared to have been resealed so that gave me a bad feeling. I was wondering if someone tried, realized it didn't helf and returned it. It would sure be nice to have an alternative for those outside pottiers. Someone else had sent me a link a few weeks ago for another alternative potty patch but it was way too pricey for me....although if i knew it would work i might acutally fork out the $. Its that what if it doesn't that holds me back.
Zoey is using piddle pads. I would say her hair is on the fine side and thus she gets cold very fast. We have frigid weather here and even tho she stays indoors, it can be a little drafty. Thus, we spend alot of our evening hours on the upstairs level and during the day she romps around in her fleece pajamas. When we do have to go out she is in layers with usually pj's or flannel nighty along with a flannel wrap coat.

We ordered the potty patch from Harriet Carter for about $40. We ordered with a friend and I can not recall what the shipping was.

If you decide to try it - I would not waste my money on the replacement liners because they are just the paper piddle pads and they can be purchased for a better price. I can not say if this really works or not. We can not try it right now because everytime we did, Zoey wanted to eat the stray grass strands. These could be deadly in my opinion - if they got wrapped up in her intestine. We still have it and plan to give it a try when she is older for any middle of the nite needs.
