1) Boxes are not
cleaned enough (1 - 2 times daily
minimum)
2) Boxes are in a
location that makes the cat
uncomfortable
3) Cats don't like
the litter type - feel or smell
4) Cat has an
undiagnosed urinary tract infection
or other medical problem
5) Litterbox is too
old. After one year odors are
impregnated in the plastic
6) Litterbox was
cleaned with a chemical cleanser
that has an aversive smell instead
of soap and water.
For multiple cats, provide
one more litterbox
than the number of cats. |
Most cats
prefer the litter box cleaned after
each use. Felines are fastidious and
value cleanliness.
For two-story or
large homes, think convenience.
Prevent your cat from getting side
tracked and not making it to the
litterbox in time. Provide two
litterboxes - one on each floor or
sides of the house. For multiple
cats, provide one more litterbox
than the number of cats.
