I can’t remember the name of the stuff (feliway, maybe?) but there is a product that is a spray and a plug-in that releases pheromones that calm the cat. You might ask your vet about it. I also have a friend whose cat had arthritis and could no longer get into the litter box. Now she receives monthly acupuncture from Dr. Mitchener and has no problems.

Amy, thanks for the advice. I asked the vet about sprays and he said he didn’t think that they would really alter this because it’s a behavioral issue and we’ve tried natures own and it didn’t do any good.
