Indeed, the cats are pulling around. It especially affects the quality of life and has also become one of the most important reasons why cats are abandoned! !
There are also some pet shop colleagues who were not able to use the litter box and were complained to ask to return the cat! Pet shop colleagues shouted: Unfair!!! I remember that I used to sleep with my cat at home every day until one time after peeing on my quilt.
From then on, my room became its forbidden area. In fact, except in the estrus period. There are many reasons why cats don’t use the toilet in the litter box.
Today we will talk about external reasons:
How cat litter and cat litter box cause cats to urinate randomly.
1 The basin is too dirty
It is best to clean twice a day. If the cat eats more and has a lot of excrement at home, clean the faster the basin, the better. The second is to thoroughly clean the cat litter box. Replace all the cat litter in at least 10 days, and clean and disinfect the spray.
Remember:
Don't use irritating disinfectant, as this will not only damage the cat's alveoli, but will also prevent it from pooping because it hates the smell of the cat litter box~
2 The number of cat litter box is too small, and the reasonable distribution should be one cat litter box, and another cat litter box is used for backup. Give cats more choices, because when one basin is "occupied", at least another cat has a place to "solve the problem".
Suggestion:
If your home is larger and has multiple floors. It is recommended to place at least one cat litter box on each floor so that you won’t be able to hold it in your arms and want to go to the toilet. I also looked for pots everywhere and pulled them in other places.
3 Basin is not good
Some kittens who have just been brought home are already small enough. As a result, the outer edge of the cat litter box is so high, and it is so painful to climb in and out with short legs. It must be a place wherever it is convenient. There is also the kind of litter box with covered cats, which is extremely oppressive for cats.
Suggestion: If the size of the cat litter box is 1.5 times that of the cat, it can have a comfortable and spacious defecation space. Choose a lower outer edge of the cat litter box to facilitate the entry and exit of the master, so that you can go in and defecate smoothly.
4 placement of basins
This is a problem that many parents do not pay attention to. Don’t think about where to ventilate or where to dissipate the smell. Then the cat food, water, and cat litter box are all piled up in a mess.
Suggestion:
Be sure to place the basin in a quiet and private place, and never place it in a washing machine. In a noisy place like the balcony, they will find these places noisy and terrifying. Don’t put cat food and water together with the basin. The clean-loving meow has a morbidity. It hates seeing its food placed near the toilet.
5About cat litter
There are various types of cat litter on the market now, including mineral sand, wood chip sand, tofu sand, corn sand, crystal sand, lazy cat litter, pine sand, paper sand, ball sand, bentonite sand......). I don’t know how to choose. I don’t even know why they are all cat litter, so why they have changed from bentonite to tofu cat litter. It won't go to the bathroom anymore. In fact, cats are also sensitive to the size and specifications of cat litter, if this is the first time you take your cat home.
Suggestion: You can buy a few bags of cat litter with different textures, put each one in a different basin, and see which basin it prefers to go to. There must be a series of reasons behind all animal behaviors. Only by finding the reasons behind the behavior can we solve the occurrence of this behavior from the root.
