What causes cats to urinate and defecate anywhere? Cats are clean animals. Every morning, you can see cats washing their faces with their paws and licking their hair. Cats need to be dealt with in the litter box. However, some cats will always be so unruly that they will urinate and defecate anywhere, destroying the environment at home.
1. The cat litter box is too dirty
Clean up excrement every day, and it is best to follow behind the butt to clean it up. Generally speaking, new cat litter is replaced every 2 weeks, and this depends on the situation. Sometimes it takes 1 week to replace it, and in some cases it needs to be completely replaced every few days. You can also invest in some flavor deodorants that are harmless to cats.
2. Don’t like the texture of cat litter
There is no quick way to solve this problem. You can only try different cat litters and see which kind your cat likes and doesn’t like that. If the adopted cat has adapted to the cat litter bought by the previous owner, he will not get used to it suddenly using a different cat litter. In this case, you need to gradually add new cat litter to the old cat litter, and then slowly add new cat litter to reduce the old cat litter until your cat is fully adapted to the new cat litter you bought.
3. Cat litter box
Generally speaking, cat litter box should not be too small, too shallow or too deep. If it is small and there is not enough space, if it is shallow and not enough, it will easily lead to dirty and messy. If it is deep, it will make the cat feel that it is unnecessary to clean it frequently. Generally speaking, the depth of the cat litter should not exceed 5 cm. As for whether you have a lid or not, it depends on the preferences of each cat. If you are an adopted cat, please follow the second cat litter solution. In the early stage, use the basin used by the owner before, and then slowly introduce the new basin.
