dog crate x5 image
brynn4496
She is 7 months old now, but keeps peeing in the same spot on the dining room carpet. We keep her confined to a 5'x5' spot of linoleum and she will not go there, not even overnight. I put her out in the morning and she does her business, but if I give her free reign of the house, the first thing she does is pee on the carpet. I have tried spraying the pet odor neutralizers, shampooing the carpet, telling her no and taking her right outside when I catch her, but nothing works. She does it every time! And like I said, she will not go on the linoleum so I know that it isn't a weak bladder problem. How do I get her to stop?
Answer
water bottle and crate are good answers. however you should clean the area she continues to pee on with vinegar- as it destroys the odor enzymes. When a dog smells urine, it triggers their need to pee. Also walk your dog at least twice a day and be sure it gets plenty of outdoor time. You may try giving a treat when your dog pees outside- positive reinforcement- it worked for my stubborn pug!

Jennifer
2 days ago a mommy cat was giving birth under the soda machines in my complex 3 kittens were already born and still wet when i grabbed her and her babies and brought them into my house, later that night she had 2 more 1 of them i had to help out cause it was stuck and the sac broke and it came out feet first but anyways i need to know if there is a way to house train her cause i plan on keeping her and getting her fixed as this is the 3rd litter that i know of but i dont want fecal matter and urine all over my apartment is there a way i can train her so my house doesent get trashed?
before i took her in i couldnt get near her she would run but ppl in the complex had been feeding her because she was prego, im just as shocked that she lets me near her but i belive that animals can sence good ppl, a few times i have come into the room and she had left the kittens she runs back and trys to protect them but then she will let me pick them up but im sure to be really calm she is really sweet and she even lets my 4year old pet the kittens and her but im always around and when she gets too excited i tell her no more.. but thanks everyone for the suggestions i will try them :)

We have trapped and taken in 10 feral cats - truly feral cats - and everyone of them has used the litter box with no action on our part.
When I mean truly feral, I mean cats born and raised with no contact with humans, who will not let humans approach them, and who will bite and scratch to get away if cornered.
What you are calling a wild cat is actually a stray cat - it might even been someones cat who they let roam freely.
Feral cats are wild animals unlike any stray you have ever encountered.
When we caught the first two, we put them in a huge 4'x5'x5' cage I had built with 5 level and two doors on every level.
I had a litter box on the bottom level. These cats had never seen a litter box before. They were about 5 months old and had lived out on their own since about 2 1/2 months of age when their mother took off and left them to fend for themselves. They had no contact with humans and ran when they saw us. They moved into our garage and we put out food and water.
After putting them in the cage, I kept worrying, as you are, there was going to be urine and feces all over every level of the cage.
About the 3rd or 4th time I checked on them, I saw that one of them had used the litter box.
Later that day I was there when one used the litter box - just like they had used it all their lives.
The other 8 ferals we have trapped - I mean we had to use a baited trap to catch them, no other way to do it - also took right to the litter box.
It is really rather spooky. These cats/kittens had never seen a litter box but they knew what it was far and how to use it.
If you can handle this cat, she is not feral - trust me. I've been bitten badly twice by trying to handle ferals before I realized that the are "wild animals" and nothing like a cat raised with human contact.
So - if you can handle this cat, you are way ahead of the game.
---- now, you said you took the cat and the kittens in, perhaps you already have them in a cage, but I'm going to assume you don't and just tell you everything I tell others in this sort of situation---
My advise would be to get a large cage, like for a large dog cage (some people call them crates), and see if you or someone else can use some pieces of wood for cross pieces and a piece of plywood to make a second level in the cage. Make it about 1 foott shorter than the length of the cage - make it as sort of a partial balcony or shelf. This will give her more room in the cage - a second level.
Cover the bottom of the cage with an old blanket or large towel, Anything to cover the wire mesh of the bottom to make it more comfortable - if there is a spill or a mess, you can wash it.
Put a cardboard box, on it's side, on the bottom level, at the back of the cage, under the balcony/shelf. It should be large enough for her to fit in comfortably - if she still has kittens, make it large enough for them too.
Put food and water up towards the door of the cage.
Put a small litter box, big enough for her to get into comfortably on the lower level. We usually put it along side the cardboard "hidey" box.
Put her in the cage and keep her there for a few days and judge how she is doing.
Pet and handle her as much as possible. If you think you can put her back in the cage without a fight, take her out in a closed room and let her nose around.
- adjust these instructions as needed to account for her having new born kittens -
When we are working with a new feral - or a stray we've adopted who needs a bit of calming down - we keep the cage on a table in the bedroom. Yes,it gets a little cramped in the bedroom but we find it better to have them near us as night - it lets them get used to our presence.
You just have to remember where it is so when you get up in the middle of the night you don't walk right into it -- it is usually on my side of the bed :-)
If after a few day she is calm and will let you handle her, and such, she might be ready to be let out of the cage, but still confined to the bedroom.
You might go ahead and leave the cage set up, she might feel safe going back inside it.
At this point you can either let her continue to use the litter box in the cage or put one on the floor in the bedroom.
If she is calm to begin with, you might keep her caged for just a short time - just to be sure she is going to use the litter box.
Once you see she is using the litter box - this might happen almost immediately - you should be able to let her out of the cage and into the bedroom. If she's raising kittens, it is best you let her pick a nesting spot or make one for her and just let her have the run of the room.
I've never dealt with a stray with kittens. We've only dealt with ferals or strays (who might be a bit wound up still) on their own.
You will have to be the judge, but if you are going to succeed in converting her to your cat, an indoor cat, there will come a day when you will want to open the bedroom door and let
