Cats

What causes cats to urinate everywhere? It could also be this reason...Cats are clean animals. Every morning you can see cats washing their faces with their paws and licking them. Cats lick their own hair and urinate and defecate in the litter box. However, some cats are always so unruly that they urinate and urinate everywhere, damaging the home environment. When you find that your cat has this kind of situation, don’t do it first. The real solution is to be eager to punish, find the reason, and actively correct the cat's behavior.

1. The cat’s litter box is too dirty

Clean up the excrement every day, and it’s best to clean up behind the cat’s butt. Generally speaking, new cat litter needs to be replaced every two weeks. This also depends on the situation. Sometimes it needs to be replaced every week, and in other cases it needs to be completely replaced every few days. You can also invest in some cat-safe odor removers.

2. Don’t like the texture of cat litter

There is no quick fix for this problem. The only way is to keep trying different cat litters and see how you feel. Cats like that and don't like that. If an adopted cat has adapted to the cat litter bought by the previous owner, he will not be used to it if he is suddenly given a different cat litter. In such a situation, you need to gradually add new cat litter to the old cat litter, and then slowly Slowly add new litter and reduce the old litter until your cat is fully accustomed to the new litter you bought.

3. Cat litter box

Generally speaking, the cat litter box should not be too small, neither too shallow nor too deep. If it's too small, there won't be enough space; if it's too shallow, it won't be enough for the cat to bury it, and it can easily lead to mess; if it's too deep, it will make the cat feel that there is no need to clean it frequently. Generally speaking, the depth of cat litter should not exceed 5 centimeters. As for whether to use a cover or not, it depends on each cat's preference. If it is an adopted cat, please follow the solution for cat litter in Article 2. In the early stage, use the basin used by the previous owner (with or without a cover). Then slowly introduce the new pot.

Some businesses will add scent to cat litter in order to deodorize it, but many cats refuse to use cat litter because they don’t like the scent, so I personally do not recommend any scented cat litter. Clean the cat's litter box thoroughly to avoid cleaning smells lingering on the litter box.

4. One cat toilet for multiple cats

Solution: One cat and one basin, placed separately.

5. The location of the cat litter box

The location is very important. Just like people, the cat toilet should be placed in a quiet and relatively hidden area. Do not leave the cat litter box. The sand bowl is placed near the feeding area. Do not place the cat litter box near household appliances. Cats are afraid of noise. Always keep cat litter boxes accessible. If your home has a multi-story layout, make sure there is a litter box on each floor, and make sure there is a gap in the door to prevent cats from being trapped in the room.

6. Punish with cat litter boxPunishing the cat

If the owner uses rough body or words to force the cat into the litter box in order to educate the cat, the cat will gradually associate the litter box with a symbol of punishment. If you are such a master please stop this behavior immediately.

7. Changes in the environment

Cats are animals that don’t like changes and surprises. This feature is a double-edged sword. If used well, it can curb the cat's bad behavior, but if it is not understood, it will cause trouble for the owner.

In short, once you have established a certain life routine for your cat, please do not change it easily, for example, suddenly changing the location of the litter box. If you must make a change, do it step by step; for example, if you want to move the litter box to a different location, just move it a few centimeters a day to be safe (no kidding).

Cats are sensitive little animals. Small details that their owners may not care about will cause the cat to change its habits. So when you find that your cat urinates everywhere or has other abnormal behaviors, The cause should be found and the correct method should be used to correct the cat to achieve the effect.
