She may not like to share with the other cats. Some cats need to have their litter box very clean for them to use it. Maybe you should put in a second box or let her outside during the day?

probably because of the two new cats. She may have been used to having her own. Try cleaning it more often or getting another litter box.

One of my kitties decided she didn't like to use the litter box any more once my new baby was born. JEALOUSY!! She'll get over it...you need patience. I know it sucks, believe me, been there!!
Since your addition is another cat, you might want to try putting another litter box elsewhere if space allows. Hopefully she'll snap out of it soon. Be sure to spend a lil extra time with just her to let her know that she's still loved.

Remember the littbox rule: # of cats + 1. So that means four boxes for your cats.
Having extra boxes will probably help the cat to use one appropriately.

It is my guess that she doesn't like sharing her litter box. Some cats are mighty choosey about their litter. My cat fusses at my husband to fix his litter box if there is one lump in it!!

if your cat was there first it might feel that the other cats are taking over, so if you put a nother litter box it should help.

in case you have already gotten her her own clutter field and he or she nonetheless is refusing to cooperate i might take her to the vet at your earliest convenience. I had a matching situation with one in all my cats and after a visit to the vet's we found out she had a urinary tract an infection and that they don't desire to apply the clutter field because of the fact some thing in the clutter motives extra inflammation. If it quite is what your cat has, it is VERY intense without ideal scientific care. additionally, cleansing your carpet with a a million/2 white vinegar a million/2 water answer will get rid of the scent and often discourage them from going to that spot. Please get your kitty to the vet and function her looked at.

All of the above plus one point: She may not like the position of the litterbox. Try giving her a change of environment.

YOU MAY JUST NEED A LARGER BOX OR ANOTHER BOX LOCATED IN A SPOT JUST FOR THE OLDER CAT--NOT KNOWING MORE DETAILS THAT ALL I CAN SUGGEST
NOTE: ABOVE ALL KEEP THE BOX CLEAN
