Recently my Amelia had stopped using her litter box, instead using the corner made by the litter box and the wall. This box, low-sided rectangular Tupperware <tm> (handy for traveling, since it has a sealing lid), is located right next to her favorite sleeping place, so having to make a long-distance sprint was no excuse. It finally occured to me (maybe this is something obvious) that I wouldn't want to climb walls first thing after waking up with a full excretory system, so I installed a ramp, about one and a half times as long as Amelia, against the side of the box. One hundred percent success rate ever since (this is just the living room, mind you, not the bathroom box; that's another story). So, maybe this would help discourage some of those box movers, at least the uncaged ones. Could the answer about onions be posted to the whole list? Amelia is actually rather fond of them, along with garlic (you should see the faces she makes when she tries to eat the clove of garlic she just swiped-- kind of like your first whiskey).
