What should I do if my cat poops? Cat litter and litter box (part)

Recently, many friends have inquired about purchasing urea solution to treat "post-urinary accidents". Most of them are like this baby.

Indeed,

Cat poops everywhere.

Especially affects the quality of life,

And it has become one of the most important reasons why cats are abandoned! !

There are also some pet store colleagues,

The cat couldn’t get into the litter box and was complained about and asked to return the cat!

Pet store colleagues said: Unjust!!!

I remember that I used to sleep with my cat at home every day.

Until one time he peed on my quilt.

From now on,

My room became its no-go area.

In fact,

Except during estrus.

There are many reasons why cats won’t use the litter box.

Today we will talk about,

External reasons:

How cat litter and litter boxes cause cats to urinate indiscriminately.

1

The basin is too dirty

It is best to clean twice a day,

If the cat at home eats a lot and excretes a lot, Remove the clumps in the basin and clean them as quickly as possible.

The second step is to thoroughly clean the cat litter box.

Replace all cat litter at least every 10 days, clean and disinfect it.

Remember:

Do not use harsh disinfectants

This will not only damage the cat’s alveoli,

It will also make it stop pooping because it hates the smell of the litter box~

2

Too few pots

Number of cat litter boxes,

A reasonable allocation should be one litter box for one cat,

Get an extra litter box for backup.

Give cats more choices

Because when a basin is "occupied"”,

At least the other cat has somewhere to go to "solve the problem."

Recommendation: If your home is larger,

This one has multiple floors.

It is recommended that at least one cat litter box be placed on each floor.

This way you won't be so suffocated that you can't help but want to go to the toilet.

I have to find pots everywhere and pull them somewhere else.

Ben unhappy

Some kittens just brought home,

It's already small enough.

As a result, the outer rim of the cat litter box is very high. It's so painful to climb in and out with my short legs. I'm sure I'll do it wherever it's convenient~~

And the cat litter box with a lid? It is extremely oppressive for cats.

Recommendation: The size of the litter box should be 1.5 times the size of the cat.

Let it have a comfortable and spacious defecation space.

Choose a lower outer edge of the cat litter box.

It is convenient for the master to enter and exit, so that he can go in and defecate smoothly.

Pot placement

This is an issue that many parents fail to pay attention to.

Don't think about where it is more ventilated,

Where is the best place to loosen the smell?

Then the cat food, water, and litter box were all piled up in a mess. Suggestions:

Be sure to place the basin in a quiet and private place.

Never put it in a washing machine or in a noisy place like the balcony.

They find these places noisy and scary.

Do not put cat food and water together with the basin.

Meow, who loves cleanliness, has a mysophobia.

He hates seeing his food left near the toilet.

About cat litter

There are various types of cat litter on the market now.

(Mineral sand, sawdust sand, tofu sand, corn sand, crystal sand, lazy cat litter, pine sand, paper sand, ball sand, bentonite sand...…...)

I simply don’t know how to choose.

I didn’t even know that it was also cat litter,

Why switch from bentonite clay to tofu cat litter.

It doesn't go to the toilet anymore.

In fact, cats are also relatively sensitive to the size and specifications of cat litter.

If you are bringing a cat home for the first time.

Recommendation: You can buy several bags of cat litter with different textures.

Put each kind in a different pot,

See which pot it prefers to be in.

There must be a series of reasons behind all animal behaviors,

Find the reasons behind your behavior,

Only in this way can the root cause of this behavior be solved.
