I live with 2 cats and 2 dogs. . . My discovery . . . if I buy some fleese and make mats with it and add a bit of fiberfill in it and then stuff it in an old box . . . .whaaalaaa they go for the box with the soft cushie fabric and stay out of the rest of the cotton I have. I just move those boxes around every once in a while so they have a bit of variety to their resting places. A patch of sun or a sunny window does wonders for a wondering cat or a chow chow. I haven't had problems with them peeing in my fabric now because I clean out the litter box 2 to 3 times a day. Contrary to popular belief cats as well as dogs . .pick a place they like to go and keep going back to it so if you make that place feel clean . .(like you like your bathroom) they will gravitate toward that instead of picking their own spot. . .also. . .they are temperamental and if they feel you are ignoring them they will get even . . .just a cautionary word.
