I think it may be time to try the outdoor method. This indoor thing may not be working out. I just had her gated (in the kitchen) and she used the litter box to pee and then pooed on the floor.
I have her crated (w/no litter box) now (I do have the small cat carrier as well as the crate), I just feel so bad. I mean... she see's that I'm up and about and I'm sure she's wondering why she has to be "locked up".
PS. I know dogs don't think like us humans but she just seems so sad...
