BTW. I've litter trained 3 cats and they each only took me 1 day! So send them to me if you need help LOL!

Hehehe..well, there *is* a reason it took two weeks to get the cats litterbox trained. My cat was a newborn kitten who had been abandoned in a mall parking lot. She was thin and had worms which made her stools loose. So, it wasn't very easy for her to "hold it in" when she had to go.
I had to take her to the vet to get the illness cleared up first which helped her focus on the box training.
My friend's cat also took two weeks because my friend had made no real efforts to litterbox train her to start with. In the meantime, the cat peed on her bedroom carpet, on her clothes and on my friend's bed. The cat even went upstairs to the neighbor's apartment and peed on his futon bed! Even after washing up, cats can smell urine and they keep wanting to go back to pee on the same spots. So, with this cat it was harder to break her of peeing wherever she felt like it. She was hyperactive and had behaviour problems. With a bit of training and a lot of love, we got her out of her destructive behaviours fairly quickly. After about a year or so, she really mellowed out. She became the sweetest, most gentle cat ever!
