Cats are trainable animals that can learn to follow the house rules, adapt to changes in the environment, and dispose of their litter. This scenario is true and more applicable to domesticated cats than those who thrive in the wild.
Do you train your cat to use the litter box? Good for you; you have the time and guts to train your cat. If you have trained your cat how to use a litter tray, do not be surprised when one day you see her urinate inappropriately in some parts of your house. This instance may happen though not frequently. Several factors cause this problem to occur, such as using the wrong litter and polythene liners.
Wrong litter – The type of litter is one thing you need to decide on in using a litter tray. If you intend to change the original litter used by your cat, be sure to do it gradually. A sudden change in the litter type, texture, and consistency may discourage your feline to use the tray and inappropriately urinate or defecate in other places. Change the old litter by mixing it with the new one (small amount) slowly and monitor how your cat behaves or reacts toward it.
Polythene litter liners – Some trays contain these liners that may catch the claws of cats, causing discomfort. Try removing the liner.
Persistent litter box issues should warrant an appointment with your veterinary hospital Kerrville TX to make sure that your pet’s behavior is not caused by an underlying health issue.
