If a cat keeps on committing litter box avoidance and doing her thing somewhere else, it’s time to determine what is causing your pet to behave this way. There are many factors that can cause cats to steer clear of their litter box and do their thing in places where they feel safer and more comfortable. The factors that can predispose potty problems in pet cats include the following:
- Too many cats using the same litter box
- Not enough space for living
- Territory issues preventing submissive cats from using the same litter box
- Spray markings
- Litter boxes with covers that may accidentally lock out the cats
- Cats that are used to stay inside getting a sniff if cats living outdoors
- In heat, female cats attracting male cats due to pheromones in their urine
- Stressed cats
Any concern you may have regarding your pet’s elimination habits should require a visit to your animal clinic Anderson, IN.
