She now has an appointment tomorrow. Yes I would love tips about litter box. I have had cats my whole life so I know a bit. Currently she has 2 times of boxed, two open and one hooded, and use scentless litter.

Here are two good sources for litter box husbandry. A lot of it can take trial and error. Trying different locations, different boxes, different litter until you find what works best.

Make sure you are scooping once or twice a day and regularly changing out the litter and scrubbing the box when it gets smelly.

Littee boxes should not be placed anywhere near their food or water bowls.

You also need to make sure you remove the pee smell from all her favorite spots entirely with an enzyme cleaner. Like soak them hard. Then ideally physically block them off with a plastic mat.

EverClean Extra Strength Unscented is what our vet recommended when our adopted, more senior cat was doing the same thing.
