Sorry for the delay in response. Her litter box is in an area where the dog is not permitted. I began re-babygating that particular room again like we had been doing for the first year and 1/2 of the dog's life so that she (Lucy) couldn't get in the room. However, this is just a precaution, I really don't believe that Lucy has been going into that room.
I don't think that the cat (Karma) is "terrified" of the Lucy, because she will confidently stand mere inches away as long as she's on the saftey of furiture which Lucy is not allowed on.
But she is certainly Terrified of her if she's on the ground, where Lucy is allowed. My guess is that she was blocked from exiting the bedroom when she really had to go. I have begun closing the door to the bedroom while we are away. There have been no accidents in 6 days and I have my fingers crossed.
Other than that I don't know what to do. I don't feel right about rehoming her.... I do really think she has it pretty good. She lives on the couch. She has a room to herself if she wants it. She even has the option to go outside, which she used to LOVE to do when she lived at my parents house, but she has only been out since we moved to the new house a couple of times and not for a lack of an open door.
Any other thoughts?
