I have an antique cat, rising 20. She is enfeebled, but healthy. She is used to her cat flap, but now pees in her bed instead of going out. She has a litter tray but has never used in in her life. Any ideas how to persuade her?

Everytime she pees in the bed, pick her up and place her in the litter tray. You will probably have to do this loads of times after she's peed in the bed but eventually she should get the message that the litter tray is the place to go. This is what we for on my cat. Hope this helps.

Good luck with getting her litter box trained at this time. My poor Killer, who died last year at 17, was litter box trained, but towards the last of his life, started going wherever he wanted, whenever he wanted. I finally just gave up and cleaned up after him.

It's difficult to train a cat at that age. She's only doing that because she's old and can't be bothered with going outside to pee anymore. 20 is very old for a cat, perhaps she's just incontinent?

Maybe you should get some of those puppy training pads for her bed, so you don't have to clean it so drastically, so often. I think they have them in most discount stores and even grocery stores. I doubt that she's going to use the litter box if she's getting that far along in age.
