Hello Leslie, thanks for your comment. My article was somehow a help where to locate the main litter box in the house. Cats usually choose one litter box as their favorite. Regarding the second litter box, is it the same type of litter box? is the spare bedroom a place you visit only when you use your computer and nothing else? What I can think of is that most of your time you hang up in the living room and your cat has her favorite territorial dominance there, not the spare bedroom. What you can do is putting the new litter box next to her favorite’s in the living room, get her use that one (you can achieve this by not cleaning her favorite litter box), then next day move the litter box further towards the spare bedroom. Do this every day moving the litter box more and more until it reaches the current location. This way you will be extending her territorial dominance in the house towards the spare bedroom. Another idea is that everytime you are in the spare bedroom start playing with your cat in that room, this way your cat will associate that room feeling confident and part of her favorite places. Sometimes cats just don’t like places where their humans don’t hung up very much. Hope that helps!

While your article was informative it does not solve my problem. Now that I own a house I decided to get my one cat another liter box. I put it in a spare bedroom which I do use because my computer is there. She has no problem coming into the room especially when I am on the computer. But she wants nothing to do with this liter box at all. I have tried putting some urine and feces in the new box to tell her it is hers. She knows it is there but refuses to use it. Have tried various locations in said room to no avail. She has no problem using the first one still in the same spot in the living room. How do I get her to use both as I figure it would be better to have two as most cat experts suggest. Any ideas?
