A little time, love and patience – and your pet will be on first-name terms with the litter box.
However, unfortunately, yard cats are not known for their good manners, so often, when entering the entrance, you have to pinch your nose with your fingers so as not to inhale the pungent smell that reigns here.
The situation can be easily corrected by using smells that cats cannot stand.
Essential oils, crushed citrus leaves and fruits, and aromatic herbs: mint, rue, lavender, rosemary, etc. will help you.
However, due to the large area of the entrance, it is possible that these aromas will quickly evaporate, so “heavy artillery” is used in the form of table vinegar, garlic and onions, which have an irritating effect on cats.
But still the most popular product is ground pepper.
Not only does it have a pungent smell, but it also irritates the mucous membranes, causing cats to sneeze and their eyes to water.
Because of this, yard cats will quickly stop defecating in places treated with the spice.
We previously discussed why cats choose a doormat over a litter box.
