Maxine's regression

Maxine was doing really good for quite some time, and then, like cancer, she declined again. I don't know if it's because I haven't been around 24/7 like usual to help her out... to guide her, if you will. But something is bothering her enough to cause her to go back to her old ways.

What I'm talking about here is the potty training. At one point she would go 1 and 2 by herself (as in NO bitching beforehand) and now she's back to pooping on the rug. I don't understand her. She was doing so good. And even when she needed a little guidance/reassurance she would go in the toilet. But now, I don't know what happened, but she doesn't even warn me about pooping.

She used to do this deep meow when she needed to poop. So that meant I had to drop what I was doing and assist her. Not that I was squeezing it out of her, but I just had to set her on the toilet 30-40 times before she realized I wasn't there to just pet her. Then afterwards, she gets canned food (a treat to her). I figured that she had gotten it down pat and then I woke up the other day and there was poop on the rug (that's in the doorway of the bathroom... I originally put it there when I put the litter box back into the bathroom so she didn't track litter all over the kitchen floor.)

That just gave me a project idea. I will draw a lay-out of the apartment, so anyone who reads these entries can have something to visual other than their own living space. Ok... that sounds fun.

Oh yes! Back to the title topic. Sorry... ADD and all. Actually, I think I made my point. And I'm sick of this topic for now.

Later, I guess.
