Mild allergies wouldn't make much of a difference with these as like I said, people can be allergic to any of the three. Someone with mild allergies would be fine getting a haired cat too...

Nevermind. I don't know what I'm talking about. All I know is my friends dad is allergic so they got a Sphinx and it was fine.

They were probably allergic to fur like I said then ;] Like I said they're good for fur allergies, as are Peterbalds and Rexes

Do any of your cat's not use the litter box ? ._.

[Saracirce]

Only when they decide they're too dirty to be bothered with. That's usually not my fault. It's SOMEONE NOT BUYING CAT LITTER WHEN I TELL THEM WE'RE RUNNING LOW.

[sad magic]

Well I clean it every morning and night and sometimes she still won't use it . D:

Where does she go when she needs to go if it's not in the litter box? What kind of kitty litter are you using (grain size and media (as in clay, recycled paper, etc))? Is the box big enough for her to lay comfortably in? Does it have a lid? How often do you actually change the litter and rinse out the pan vs. just scooping? Where do you have the litter box? Is she declawed?

EDIT: Was she litter box trained when you got her or has she never used it? If she was using the litter box regularly before, what's changed?

[sad magic]

She goes near it, in a corner of the bathroom usually . Uhmn, the size is small, like sand, maybe a little bit bigger, and I'm pretty sure it's clay . Yes it's big enough, No lid though . We removed it thinking it would help the issue . I change the litter monthly, and when I throw out the litter I scrub out the pan too .The litter box is in my bathroom . Since there is tile there . Nope, not declawed .

Yep she used the litter box just fine for years and years . Nothing has changed, we moved a long while ago, but she was still using it then too .

[Saracirce]

hmm, there's no even minor changes you can think of that accompanied her problems with the litter box? Even changing brands/types of litters or something that had absolutely nothing to do with the litter box? Have you tried moving the box to one of the corners she uses (preferably the one she uses the most)?

EDIT: And has she had a UTI right before or since the problem started? Has she been to the vet for an exam since the problem started?

[sad magic]

Nope, no major or minor changes . She just started not going one day . I will try moving the litter box to the different corner though, although it won't allow me to open my shower door . xD

And yes, I took her to the Vet recently, and he told me to change the litter more often, and clean it twice a day, which I have been doing . And she's in full health and everything . Also, I will try a new litter brand too . c:
