If you’re bringing home a new cat into your household, do not forget to purchase a litter box. The litter box should meet and should be suitable to the needs of your cat. Cats are very meticulous when it comes to the nitty-gritty details of their litter boxes. Some factors that may affect your cat’s litter box habits are the design, size, location, litter type, and tidiness of the litter box. Make sure that the cat’s expectations and standards for their litter box are met. Eliminate anything that may become a stressor for your cat that could urge or force them to take a dump elsewhere and not in its litter box.
Know the magic number
A litter box can be the cause of conflict among cats in a multi-cat household. If you have a multi-cat household, chances are, one or more cats would be controlling access to litter boxes and prevent other cats from using them. This is why it is important to designate one litter box for each cat you have in a household. It is advisable to have an extra litter box as well. A house with 2 cats should ideally have 3 litter boxes available. Cat owners with just one cat at home should still have a spare litter box as an alternative option for their cat.
For long-standing and complex elimination habits, contact an animal clinic San Diego, CA who has experience working with cats experiencing these problems.
