"My cat"

"Peeing! Peeing everywhere!

Bed, sofa, cat climbing frame..."

It’s almost crazy

I’m the one who wets the bed

This problem accounts for a large proportion of abnormal cat behaviors, and is also one of the main reasons why most cats are abandoned! After all, when a cat urinates, the aftertaste is overwhelming...

Studies have found that more than 30% of cats have the problem of peeing and urinating indiscriminately.

Well, actually, can you blame him?

Of course not🤷‍♀️Cats can’t talk, so “praying randomly” is actually a “signal”!

It can tell you what’s wrong with your cat? Why does it cause littering?

​So, the most important thing is that scavengers need to find out the reasons for shitting and correct the behavior!

Let’s first take a look at what are the reasons that cause disordered behavior?

Feeling unwell?

Does the cat often urinate but cannot urinate, urinate blood, eat more, drink more, urinate more, take too long to urinate, cry out when urinating, lethargic, lose weight and other symptoms? Is it normal for cats to have urine clots in the litter box? A large lump or abnormal scattered small pieces; the color of urine is red or bloodshot; whether the cat is in a poor mental state and is not interested in games and other activities.

ps: Cats are straight-thinking animals. When a cat has a disease, it will cause pain when urinating. Over time, the cat will associate the pain with the litter box, thinking that the litter box is the thing that causes it pain, and thus refuse to use the cat. Sand basin.

In a bad mood?

Cats are animals that easily accumulate stress. The owner always holds and touches them, which makes them stressed. When they pee and watch them, they also feel stressed. The furniture in the house is not placed in the way they want, which makes them stressed. The smell of other animals brought back by the owner will also make it anxious...

Cat litter box problem?

The litter box is too dirty///The litter box is too small///The shape of the litter box is not suitable///The location of the litter box is not concealed enough///The cat is frightened when it goes to the toilet... .

Marked linesFor?

One is common urine spraying, and the other is piling feces. This has to do with individual differences (personality, estrus, hormones), environmental stimuli (strangers, renovations, moving, wild cats outside the window) and the relationship with the scavenger (frequently contaminated by the smell of strange cats from outside, sudden changes in working hours, Frequent absence from home, reduced time spent together, sudden travels, and inappropriate punishment). This is very common in unneutered cats, especially male cats. Usually cats will spray urine on vertical surfaces such as walls and cabinets, and some can spray urine for more than 1 meter. This is often related to estrus. After receiving the estrus signal from a female cat, a male cat will also spray urine on walls and surfaces near the female cat. Urine sprayed on the door...

To sum up, how can a poop scraper "save" a cat from urinating?

Physical examination

If the disorder is caused by physical reasons, the recommended method is:

The cat owner can take the cat to the hospital for a physical examination: blood routine, urine test, thyroid examination (more needed for older dogs), etc...

Sterilization

If it is caused by sexual intercourse during estrus, the recommended method is:

1. The cat owner can put the cat in a cage to avoid pooping at home; or he can choose to perform sterilization surgery on the cat.

2. When cats are in estrus, especially male cats, sex hormones will make the cat irritable and spray urine. The cat’s urine contains information such as gender, age and physical strength, which can stimulate the female cat’s hormone secretion and induce it. Come into heat and mate. According to surveys, sterilization before the age of 1 can prevent most reproductive system diseases caused by hormones and reduce the probability of tumor diseases. And it can reduce or eliminate the urine spraying behavior of up to 90% of unneutered male cats.

Environmental Management

If the litter box is causing the litter box, the recommended method is:

1. Adjust the number of cat litter boxes: If there are n cats in the home, it is best to have n+1 cat litter boxes in the home; if it is a small apartment but there are more than 2 cats, then at least n cats must have n A cat litter box (but 1 cat must have 2 litter boxes.)

2. Adjust the size of the litter box: It is best to prepare a medium-sized litter box and a large one. At least it allows the cat to turn around easily. Common cat litter boxes on the market are too small and cannot satisfy the cat.

3. Change the style of cat litter box: Cats themselves like open litter boxes, which are convenientObserving the external environment is also conducive to ventilation and odor dispersion. A closed litter box will fill it with smell and make it difficult for the owner to observe the cat's use of the toilet.

4. Placement of the cat litter box: The cat litter box needs to be placed in a quiet area that is not easily disturbed (it must be placed near the place where the cat often goes). It’s best not to place it near doors or washing machines, places where cats can be easily frightened!

ps: It is recommended to provide 2-3 types of cat litter boxes and 2-3 types of cat litter each time, combine them in pairs, place them in different positions, and change them every 2 weeks to try out the cat's favorite litter box, litter box, and cat litter box. Location.

Odor management

If it is marked diarrhea or diarrhea caused by smell, the recommended method is:

1. Change cat litter regularly: Most cats like soil sand and mineral sand, such as bentonite and purple cracked rock. Owners can experiment to find out which type cats like best by changing them multiple times. Be sure to note that cats are sensitive animals, so try not to choose scented cat litter!

2. Clean the cat litter box regularly: Don’t think that you don’t have to clean the cat litter box because you change the cat litter frequently! Urine is corrosive to some extent and will come into direct contact with the sides/bottom of the litter box. For cat urine, you must pay attention to choosing the appropriate ammonia gas, urine odor and urine stain removal products.

3. Choose appropriate products to clean up areas where peeing occurs (such as sofas/mattresses, etc.): If the excrement is not cleaned up, urate crystals will form after the urine dries, making the odor worse. It will also induce the cat to urinate randomly again to keep the signal fresh.

Behavior management

After doing the previous points, if the cat’s random urination is still not resolved, then its behavior needs to be managed and guided!

Suggested method:

1. You can put the cat in the cage first, so that the cat can only use the only litter box in the cage.

2. After placing the cat in the cage for 7 days, you can try to release the litter box and the cat, and let the cat move around in a small closed room; if there is no more random peeing behavior, slowly expand the cat's activities. range.

3. After being released, if the cat continues to poop everywhere without using the litter box, flick its ears on the spot, and then repeat the first step.

ps: It should be noted that when conducting behavior management, odor management is also extremely important!

Never try to use disinfectant or perfume such as Dettol or 84 to cover the smell of cat urine! Because these smelly liquidsThe body can only be covered for a short period of time, but it does not eliminate the decomposition of urine. Sometimes it will produce a strange smell...

Especially chlorine-containing disinfectants such as 84 and bleach will release toxic gases once combined with urine, which is harmful to the health of both humans and cats!

Dealing with urine smell

You must need a bottle of bioenzyme cleaner

The protease molecules in detergents containing biological enzymes can effectively decompose uric acid in urine and evaporate it. Only then can it be possible to completely or as much as possible eliminate the smell of urine!!! Here we strongly recommend Urine Off Urea-Bio, imported from the United States. Enzyme decomposition technology completely decomposes uric acid/urea/bacteria and other urine in the urine, making it colorless, odorless and harmless.
