It took me about 2 and half yrs before I let Brandi have run of the house. But she is older. I got her when she was 7 yrs old and she's 11 now. I kept her in the exp-pen until she got used to the potty pads. Now she uses the potty pads exclusively (she still goes outside too when weather permits). She even gets up in the middle of the night to go use her potty pad so I'm comfortable with giving her the run of the house. What's really weird is now the fricking cat has start to pee on the potty pads (not sure why now after all this time but she still poops in her litter box).
Also she's older so most of day is spent lounging so no worries with her getting into something. Actually for me I was more worried about her hurting herself when she was in her expen all day because she spent most of her time trying to escape it. Now that she is out, she mainly just sleeps in my bed most of the day. |
