Methods to correct cats defecating outside the litter box:

1. Put the cat’s excrement into the cat’s litter box.

2. Put the cats into the litter box, then hold their paws and teach them to move the litter from the edge of the excrement to the side of the excrement and bury the excrement.

3. For the problem of cats pooping outside the litter box, use a special pet cleaner to eliminate the smell. If you don’t have any at home, you can use baking soda and water instead.

4. Half an hour after the cat has finished eating, put the cat into the litter box. Cats usually feel the urge to urinate during this time, so it is easier for them to urinate if you hold them in your arms at this time. If the sand is not buried after excretion, bring them back and teach them to bury the sand.

Possible reasons why the cat does not defecate in the litter box:

1. Is the cat litter box too dirty? Does it shovel feces and urinate twice a day? All cat litter will be changed at least every 2 weeks. When changing cat litter, do you have the habit of using some cleaning and disinfecting products to clean the cat litter box? If the previous questions are all negative, the cat will be unwilling to go to the toilet in an unclean litter box for these reasons.

2. The litter box in your home is too small. The cat can get feces when it turns around. It will definitely not want to go to the toilet. The normal ratio of cats to litter boxes is 1:5. It is recommended to use this standard to determine the size of your cat litter box.

3. The litter box you prepared is too few. Under normal circumstances, the ratio of cats to litter boxes is 1:2. Some cats have the habit of urinating in one litter box and defecating in the other.

4. Your cat litter box is too weird. Currently, there are many fully enclosed cat litter boxes that are not suitable for all cats. It is recommended to replace them with open litter boxes.
