Cat owners, please pay attention to how to train a cat not to urinate everywhere! Compared with training a dog to urinate, training a cat not to urinate anywhere is much more convenient. Just provide the cat with a clean litter box and clean it regularly. , and with more training, you can get a cat that will not urinate anywhere. Of course, there will be some special circumstances that cause the cat to suddenly stop going to the litter box. Why is this? Let’s answer them one by one below.

1. Train cats to use cat litter

Prepare a litter box for your pet cat. You can make it yourself or buy a special pet litter box on the market. , and then fixedly placed in a corner of the home. You can catch the cat in a special toilet prepared for it, pat its head and butt gently, tell it this is the toilet, and then defecate in it. Of course, it is impossible for a cat to understand it for the first time, and it will not be so obedient to relieve itself in the litter box. In the early stage of training, the breeder should pay close attention to the cat's urinating and defecation behavior, and when it is found that the cat needs to urinate and defecate. Just catch the cat and put it in a fixed litter box for convenience. When the cat is convenient, the owner should not disturb it, but should watch and wait quietly from a distance. Training a pet cat to urinate and defecate in a fixed litter box cannot be completed once or twice. During the training process, the breeder must have a perseverance mentality and treat every training patiently. I believe that after a period of time, the cat will be able to develop the habit of defecating in a fixed litter box.

2. Train cats not to defecate everywhere

Although cats love to be clean and can easily be trained to defecate in the potty, but Bedpans need to be cleaned frequently, bedding materials need to be changed frequently, and the smell of cat feces is particularly unpleasant. Therefore, among urban residents, training cats to urinate and defecate in the toilet can achieve multiple results. Before training, place a plastic board or wooden board under the toilet seat, and spread an appropriate amount of sand, furnace ash, sawdust and other bedding materials on the plastic board or wooden board. When you find that your cat needs to defecate, take it to the toilet and it will defecate soon. After the cat develops the habit of defecating on the plastic board or wooden board, gradually reduce the amount of litter. The cat will slowly develop the habit of standing on the toilet seat to defecate. At this time, the plastic board or wooden board can be placed on the toilet seat to defecate. Take the board away.

During training, it is best not to use the flush toilet; the padding should be changed frequently, usually once a day; if the cat is unwilling to go to the flush toilet to defecate because it fell into the toilet, then You can only train from scratch.

1. Caused by diseases: Some diseases can cause If the frequency of peeing and defecation becomes more frequent, it may cause this kind of problem behavior in cats.

Some diseases may causeAdult cats may experience pain when peeing or defecating, or have difficulty getting in and out of the litter box, such as arthritis, feline lower urinary tract syndrome (FLUTD), anal cysts, blindness, etc. Treating these diseases can improve this problem behavior of cats. In addition, using flatter litter boxes, placing litter boxes in the places where cats spend most time, and increasing the number of litter boxes may also help.

2. Caused by stress: In cats of any age, stress may cause them to develop such problematic behaviors. Sources of stress include moving, sudden changes in routine, changes in family members, etc. Reducing these sources of stress or reducing the impact of such changes on your cat can be beneficial to your cat or even yourself. For example, when you have to move, it is best to let the cat stay in a quieter place at home on the day of packing and moving. After moving to the new home, let the cat stay in a quiet room first, such as the bedroom. Place his food, water, litter box, and his favorite bed or mat, spend more time with him in the room, feed him, clean the litter box, and gradually let him become familiar with other parts of the new home.

3. Likes and dislikes of cat litter: Cats of any age may not use the cat litter box because of their aversion to cat litter. For example, some cat litter is scented, or some cat litter It contains disinfectant and has the smell of medicine, which cats may not like. So you can try several kinds of cat litter to see if this is the cause.

Privacy, a place where you can easily be attacked by other cats, etc. You can try adding an extra litter box to see if the situation changes. Remember that there should be one more litter box than the number of cats in the home.

5. Sanitary conditions: Some cats are very special. They don’t like to defecate in the litter box that they have peed in, and some cats do not use the litter box that other cats have used. In addition, just as we don't like going to a dirty toilet, if the litter box is often left unclean, the cat may find another convenient location.

For kittens who have just been brought home, good habits must be developed from the beginning, and cats also like to urinate and defecate in the litter box. If the adult cat suddenly does not like the litter box, You must attract the owner's attention. Maybe the cat is expressing a signal to you. The owner should not blindly blame the cat, because this will only make the cat feel disgusted.
