[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 597117, member: 15793"] Basically one shouldn't need to train a cat, they pretty much come that way :S Sickness can cause them to not use the box. Dislike of particular litter, being chased out by other cats, not feeling safe/secure by placement of the box, emotional insecurity, etc., can cause them to use other places as well. Make sure you have removed ALL smell from where she soiled the carpet, too. Generally the mother trains them to the box, sand, whatever. Since this wasn't done (maybe), you'll have to be diligent and catch her. I've had a cat like this that was a stray, and only had to catch outside the box once while he peeing, pick him up during, and place him in the box. No punishment, no words, nada. Pick and place during, he got the idea, never had another problem. [/QUOTE]
