Ah, I didn't think to ask about lids/covers on the litter boxes! Like I said in another thread on litter boxes, we had no luck with these, and they are all in the garage. We tried introducing the lidded boxes at one point (but still had one without), and the cats completely refused to use them. Definitely try having a box without a lid for her. Cats may like going into little dark/tight spaces for play/sleep, but I have never seen the slightest bit of evidence that they like such places for doing their business.
