What to do if your cat stubbornly walks past the litter box

05.03.2023 22:11

Often cat owners notice that their pet, who recently regularly used the toilet, has stopped using the litter box.

The reasons for this may be health problems, age (in very young kittens and older cats), stress, changing the tray or filler and, of course, lack of skill.

To rule out possible diseases, it is worth visiting a veterinarian. If the doctor did not notice any pathologies, you should look for the cause elsewhere.

Regardless of what caused the deviations in your pet's behavior, we must not forget that cats go to places where the smell from a previous trip to the toilet remains.

Therefore, with each mistake, it is worth thoroughly cleaning up all the places of the so-called cat “crimes”.

However, wiping the stained area with water or even vinegar alone is not enough.

Therefore, it is worth finding an option that would remove, rather than mask, the “aroma”.

Specially created products that can be found in a pet store can help with this. The main thing is that they are safe for animals.
