What to Do If Your Cat Pees Outside the Litter Box

There are many reasons a cat will urinate outside the litter box and one reason for this may just be the way the cat is trying to communicate problems to their owners. Many cat owners give up in defeat on this and some even decided to give their cats away or even acknowledge them. What these owners need to know, is that this behavior can be addressed and dealt with, if they're just trying to understand and listen to the cat. Thoroughly clean the urine is very important, because the cat may have a keen sense of smell. If the cat continues to pollute in a particular area, it is possible that it was a dirty place before, by other cats or by the same cat. After clearing the area, it would be a wise decision to cover the spot with some furniture or something that would prevent the cats from having access to it again.

My first recommendation or steps in trying to fix this problem is to have the cat examined and evaluated by a veterinarian. If this is the first time a situation or occurrence with urination inappropriate, it could be that the cat has a urinary tract disease or some other type of illness, which can cause or contribute to the problem. Another aspect to consider, is the proximity to both the cat litter box and removal related to the distance between the two. If that is the case where the cats do their business right beside the litter box, it could mean that the cat may not like the type of litter or box. Issues relating to the actual box, it could be that it was not clean enough, it could be too small in size, are too high cause accessibility problems or could just be that the cat does not like the type of litter used.

A strategy or technique used for these kinds of problems, will set up some litter box and then to change some parts or aspects of each. Ideally, you'll want to try several types / brands of garbage in each or you can change the size or style-up the actual cat box. This will create more variety for cats when choosing where you want to remove in. It is important to examine this process and to record the preferences of the whole cat, and did not like her, which can be inferred. When trying this strategy, it is good to try it for about a week or more, to be able to thoroughly analyze and evaluate the needs of cats. It is also very important to always keep the litter box clean and fresh for your cat, which means often scooping and change a new litter box, and wash the actual box every so often.
