FIRST thing when you bring your cat into your home, you MUST put the cat IMMEDIATELY into her litter box. She has to learn, understand and know where she CAN relieve herself and that it is okay to do so IN that box. If she does make a mess, pick her up immediately and put her IN the box. It might take a few tries, but cats like to cover their messes up, so if there’s a nice litter box that is kept clean, she will go there. If you don’t show her, she’ll find your potted plants and use them instead.
