Sometimes you have to Lose

Sometimes you have to lose the battle to win the war.

Kevin has decided the window sill is her new safe space. She won't leave. To encourage her I left her food, water, litter box and toys right under the window. She wouldn't have to go far, just down. She stopped eating, drinking and going to the bathroom. As a final attempt I moved the curtains leaving only a tiny hiding space.

After several days I gave up. I closed up the curtains a little. Food, water and toys went up. She started eating and drinking again. But still no litter box use. I moved the bed back a few feet and bought a new litter box. Still nothing. Finally I placed the new box in the window, propped up with furniture as it tipping would be really, really bad. Within a few hours the litter box was used.

The privacy screen is for me, after all my curtains are now open quite a bit.
