Are You Sick & Tired Of The Unhealthy Mess Embarrassing Odor Caused By Your Cat Litter Box
Cat Urinating, Over, Around Litter Box? Cat Litter Box Problem? Litter Box Too Short or Shallow to work properly?
I’ve tried all kinds of litter boxes, the corner litter box, the top
opening litter box, giant litter box, covered, hooded…none of them
worked.
I've spent a small fortune on litter boxes attempting to solve the problem.
The most common problem stated that causes cat owners to euthanize
or give their pet away is, cat urinating outside the litter box.
This can be avoided by determining if your cat has a health issue,
is the litter box too dirty for the cat or is the type of litter
repelling it?
Has your cat exhibited any recent changes in elimination behavior?
If the cat suddenly is not using the litter box or meowing while
eliminating, have it checked by your vet. There may be a health concern
that needs to be corrected.
Dealing with litter box odor can be a problem.
Covered litter boxes are supposed to filter and reduce odor, but
they tend to hold more odor. Most cats also find the odor unappealing
and will not enter the box, they are also repelled by the perfumes and
deodorizing pellets found in some litters. Additionally, if you use a
bleach, strong disinfectant or ammonia the lasting odor could also
deter your cat from using the box, hence going outside, around the
litter box, or on the carpet.
Dirty litter boxes, pans or trays may be the cause of many litter
box behavior problems. Adding baking soda to the litter may cause
health issues for some cats because of its high sodium content, and
when cats cover up by scratching they have a tendency to breathe the
baking soda which is not healthy, so be aware.
Keep litter boxes away from air ducts, furnaces and noisy appliances
may that start automatically while your cat is using it, which may
cause the cat to be startled enough to make it go elsewhere.
Most litter boxes, pans and trays are designed for our convenience
and not the cats. They are too small, shallow and narrow. An ideal box
should be deep, tall and large enough for the cat to circle around
within, with ease. Its sides should be high enough to prevent
splattering on the wall. Medium to large cats, need larger pans or
boxes.
Cleaning your litter box should be a relatively easy job. Use a mild
cleaning solution like ivory soap or liquid castle soap, never cleaners
like Lysol, bleach, ammonia and really rinse it well!!! Remember cats
have a keen sense of smell and if they smell a lingering perfume odor,
they won’t use the box.
Ideally, you should keep an eye on your litter box to determine when
it is necessary to clean. For some cats, once a week is fine. For
others it may be too long. Try and remove any waste on a daily basis,
surely every 2 days. This will ensure that there will be no problems
with your cat going elsewhere in the home, and avoiding the cause of
odor.
