Cats prefer to go in litter or sand so they can bury the mess. If litter or sand is available, they will use that before they use anything else. I would start by putting the litter box somewhere near where the kitty eats/sleeps/plays for a bit. Be careful of any house plants you have, as they will try to use those if the litter isn't readily available. Make sure it is kept clean, because if there is too much "mess" in it, they will go somewhere else.

The good thing about cats is you don't usually have to "train" them to use the box, they will do it if it is there for them.

I used tidy cats for multiple cats when Beans was a house cat, and he was the only one. It really kept the odor down and was cheap and easy to use/pour.

If you buy it in the bucket, the buckets are good to store the food in when the litter is gone (Cleaned out of course). Good luck. Need some help naming him?

Well, the lady who picked the cat up bought a litter box some food, toys and litter. How cool is that? She didn't get any shots because they don't know exactly how old she is yet. She has been dewormed. She is now sitting on my lap. And yes, it's a she. She's very sweet so far!

We have yet to let the dogs in to meet her. No name idea yet. DH is on the phone with his sister, who is a vet tech, asking her a few questions. I think we'll probably get some canned to go with her dry.

I will continue to feed the mangy cat. I am still thinking about calling the humane society.

I'll post a picture later.

Okay, the little kitty has been doing some hissing since we introduced it to the dogs, w hich is understandable. It's scared of us too. Any suggestions on how to let it know it's ok?

Just give her a quiet spot where she feels secure and be gentle with her.

She looks absolutely sweet!!!

She's beautiful!!

Do we know what type of cat she is? Or maybe where you got her from? Your dogs are Sandy and Mocha ... is that right??

I had a cat that I got at our local shelter. The shelter was on Peabody Road. We almost called him Peabody but he ended up being Monroe, after Marilyn.

Sandy and Mocha are both shades of brown ... I wonder if there is another shade of brown name that would be appropriate for her? Would you like her name to go with the dogs or something completely different??

Emmy or Emma for her gorgeous emerald eyes. But I love Chaplin's suggestion of BIJOUX. Too bad her eyes aren't amber, cuz that's another shade of brown. GRIN.

Saxy...I had to come over and see the rest of your new babies pictures. That color is called blue cream. It is under the Parti-color class along with red and black. I know it looks like grey to you but that is called blue. They are sex-linked colors...meaning they are always female. They are very loving but also strong-willed, sassy little gals with minds of their own. Always interesting and entertaining. Congratulations...oh yes...she will rule your house including the dogs!!

Just for grins, I looks up various thesaurus entries for "summit" (since she was found on the street by that name). Came up with Zenith. I kinda like it!

{ze·nith (z¶“nąth) n. 1. The point on the celestial sphere that is directly above the observer. 2. The upper region of the sky. 3. The highest point above the observer's horizon attained by a celestial body. 4. The point of culmination; the peak: the zenith of her career. See Synonyms at summit. [Middle English senith, from Old French cenith, from Medieval Latin, from Arabic samt (ar-ra’s), path (over the head).]"

Since it sounds like she may end up ruling the roost there....it sort of fits.

i like granny's word, "sassy". but i still like 'taylor' the best cause of idol and all. you would never forget when you got her!!
you can call her 'creme bleu' for the blue cream color....
how about 'soul patrol'? LOL
the only reason i don't like the name zenith is because we have a lady cop in the area named zenith and she is really an idiot...
"apex" is another summit word.

or 'jersey' for summit, new jersey!
i really love the name 'celeste', too, and that would get your "celestial..." in there.

How SWEET Saxy! Such a precious little girl.

"found crossing a busy street called Summit"

She looks so tiny and so interested, eager to explore the outside world! So comfortable with her own "Human Bean"

How about Arrietty ?

as in Arrietty 'Ett' Clock
Only Daughter of the Clock Family, Borrowers

From the Movie "Borrowers"
