litterbox
I just bought my cat a second litterbox and it has a cover and a door flap to get in. her regular box is in the laundry room and we have to open the door for her so she can use it. she will not use this new covered litter pan...i have showed her many times and everytime I put her in there she runs away. i caught her peeing on the carpet. normally she is great with using the pan, but no she is not. I cannot have an uncovered one because of dogs and children. how can i get her to use the new pan?

Well I just use a tote with a garbage bag lining, and that seems to work. but what you could do is take the top off. she might feel cramped in the box or like she's being put into a pet carrier. Cats dont like the idea of being trapped--at all-- I know it will stink but if it stinks too bad it is cause she isnt getting enough water. Remember, change the box every week. and the litterbox doesnt have to be all fancy like. They POOP in it for God's sake. But I think she will be fine once you take the lid off.

if you ever catch him using the bathroom on the carpet, pick him up and make him stay in that litterbox until he goes. soon hhe should learn that that is where he needs to go and he'll probably get used to it
hope i helped(:

make sure the box it in the same place, leave the top off for a while so she gets used to it, then put the top on but remove the flap, my cat never understood the flap. later on you can put the flap back and make sure to show her how it woks by holding it up, opening and closing it, after a while she'll likely get the idea.

Okay, first you have to remember that cats are creatures of habit. Once they get used to something, for example the uncovered litter box in the laundry room, it’s hard for them to change. However, try this to help get your cat used to using the covered litter box. Train him by placing a large cardboard box over his old litter box, and gradually decrease the size of the box until it is the same size as the cover of the new litter box. After a couple of days make the switch. That worked for me, hope it helps you. :) good luck!
