Cat peeing is a very troublesome problem.

I believe that poop scrapers have all experienced the feeling of "cat urine floating ten miles away". So, why is this? What should we do?

Causes of cats peeing randomly:

01 "Environment"

The cat may feel that the surrounding environment is unsafe, and it will choose a place with a strong smell from you to urinate. Because it thinks that you can provide it with a sense of security, it will leave its scent in a place where it feels very safe.

If you have a multi-cat household or have dogs at home, you can observe whether cats who pee in unusual places are often bullied.

02 "Estrus"

Unneutered cats peeing

Once the estrus season comes, the female cat's sexual pheromones will spread for several kilometers. Even if there is no female cat at home, your male cat will be ready to act.

After male cats mature sexually, they will begin to develop a sense of territory. At this time, they will mark their territory through urine. If a female cat is in heat for a long time and cannot find a mate, she may also leave marks in the house like male cats. However, The female cat's behavior is to attract the male cat's attention.

Neutered cats pee

Some cats will still urinate randomly after being neutered. This situation is common in male cats.

For example, if a new cat or dog comes to the house and makes it restless, it will still stimulate its enclosure instinct. Owners need to separate the two cats, or wait and see them in separate cages for a few days to allow them to slowly get used to it.

03 "Disease"

If your cat suddenly changes the place where it urinates, it may be sick. When cats have difficulty urinating, some cats will choose to urinate in other places.

There are two main types of diseases that cause this condition: the first is acute and chronic renal failure.

Cats with this condition will urinate frequently, and this disease is very serious!

Another type is urinary tract infections, including cystitis and urethritis.

If you have random urination and a small amount of urine, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination.

04 "I don’t like my own toilet"

A cat at home can have two toilets, placed in different locations. It is best to use a toilet without a lid, and the size should be 1.5 times the length of the cat's body;It is best to use sandy cat litter. Do not use cat litter that is too fragrant. The smell is for you and the cat does not like it.

It is best to place the cat toilet in a ventilated, open and quiet place.

05 "Stress"

There are too many cats in the house who often fight, the cat litter box is not cleaned in time and it smells too bad, the cat is too scared when strangers come to the house, some of the owner's behaviors touch the cat's bottom line, leading to retaliatory behavior, etc. In addition, many external factors can also cause cats to urinate randomly. At this time, owners need to observe carefully and prescribe the right medicine.

Tips

You can spray some deodorant with a pungent smell that the cat hates in the area where the cat urinates. Such as lemon juice, 84 disinfectant, etc., to prevent cats from urinating frequently in different places.
