First of all, you need to understand that you can’t punish a cat just because it stopped using the litter box.
If she used to visit this place with pleasure, but now she has stopped, then there could be different reasons for this.
An experienced owner knows that a cat does not do this just because it wants to.
Let's take a closer look at the animal's behavior.
5 Reasons Why Your Cat Has Stopped Using the Litter Box
Here are some tips.
- There may be several trays. Some cats like to go to the toilet in different places. Usually two trays are enough.
- Change the filler. For example, some animals do not like strong perfume smells - it is better to choose a neutral option.
- The tray is the wrong shape. It can be either too small or too big.
- Change of location. After cleaning, you may have moved the litter box to a different location.
- Hygiene. The tray should be washed regularly and the filler should be changed.
