Hi everyone. I have been getting a lot of advice from you guys and really appreciate it. I am trying to get Sparkles to go to the bathroom in a litter box with a wee wee pad. Right now she goes to the bathroom in the bathroom on the floor of course or outside. The problem is she seems to think that the litter box is a bed.

She sleeps in a crate in our room by our bed until we get up in the morning and then one of us takes her to the bathroom with us. She just sits in the litter box or lays down and then gets up and squats and pees on the floor. I tried buying the spray and spraying it on the pads but it doesn't interest her in the least.

I was proud of her for going in the bathroom but am worried about the pee smell soaking in to my wood floors. She is only 8 months old I have only had her since she was 5 months. We live in Michigan so it gets pretty cold or I would just settle with her going outside.

Can someone give me some ideas on how to get her to recognize the litter pan as her potty?

Oh and I do take her and her business to the pan every time she goes on the floor.

Thanks alot.
