If a cat poops on the bed, it may be because the cat litter has not been replaced in time. Change it in time. If it feels insecure, give it some comfort.

The small sandbox where the cat urinates is not in a good position

Think about how the owner’s toilet is decorated. It has a door that can be closed and some small decorations. Doesn’t the cat need the same privacy and fun? Maybe the owner pees the cat. The small pot should be placed in an area that is frequently moved around, or too close to some noise source, such as next to a washing machine. It is also possible that the place where it is placed is too dark. Although cats can see things under very dark light sources, they still need some light. If the small sandbox is placed in a very dark place, cats will not want to use it.

The owner needs to put more small boxes

Even if the owner has placed several boxes, this may not be enough. Some cats prefer to urinate in different small boxes. Especially for kittens, it is better for them to put more boxes. Just like children, kittens have very weak control, and they need boxes that are convenient and easy to use.

The cat doesn’t like the sandbox the owner bought for it

The sandbox that the owner bought makes it uncomfortable and restricts its movement. Sometimes if the cat's box is made too high, it will be difficult for cats with arthritis to get in and out. ​​​​​​

Cats don’t like cat litter

Some cat litter is not soft enough and cats may not like it. If the owner has trimmed the cat's claws, the cat may feel a little pain when digging into the litter, so it will look for a softer substance). If this is the case, you can place two types of cat litter for testing. One side is soft cat litter from brand A, and the other side is slightly rougher litter from brand B to see which one the cat will choose in the end.

Changes in family environment

Has a new baby been born? Perhaps the owner has changed jobs and is farther away from home than before. The cat is no longer used to the usual schedule where the owner is often at home. Cats like a predictable and controllable environment. Changes in the home environment may not seem like a big deal, but for cats, this is not the case.

Cats need a sense of security

A scared cat will behave in a fearful way. Do not punish the cat when it is near its small sandbox. This will bring a negative connection between the cat and the sandbox, which will cause the cat to stay away from the sandbox in the future. Likewise, do not force-feed your cat medicine or trim its claws around the litter box.
