Cat Problems with "staying in the house"
If a cat, small or adult, starts having accidents, it is necessary to consult the veterinarian. It could be many causes, as an infection or a chronic disease or a problem of behavior: for example, if the cat, for some reason, is very nervous, If the cat wets itself or dirties in the house it is important to clean the place very well to eliminate the smell, the cat can return there to use it as normal place of bathroom. Do not use an ammonia cleanser because it has the same smell as the urine. In the veterinarian - or in a pets shop- they can recommend us a biological suitable detergent.
Q/A Recently I have adopted a 3 year old cat called Susy. She refuses to use the hygienic tray, although she was using one at the animal gathering center where she was living.
Are you using the same type of tray and sand that she was using?. It is possible that a change of routine is confusing Susy. Do not use aroma sand if she is not accustomed. There are cats which do not like to do anything when someone sees them using the tray or the box. Use a box with lid, put it under a table or inside a bigger box, taking a side from it. Are there more cats in the house that use the same box? The cat can get scared; try to use a separate box for her.
Morris behaves in a strange form in the hygienic tray. He meows, scratches & wets next to the tray or on the edge. What is happening?
A cat can stop using the tray for many reasons: for example, if he has scared with a strong noise while he was using it or he has had a sudden access of diarrhea. Do the veterinarian sees him, if he has some infection or is sick. He can has sores in the legs, which worsen for the big pieces of sand or gravel of the box. Do you change often the sand? Is there a sick cat that uses the same box?.
My cat Jerjes has always used a tray. Now he goes away to other places of the house, leaves small quantities of dregs and uses the tray only sometimes. Why has he modified his behavior?
You must take Jerjes to the veterinarian as soon as possible. This type of accidents can be caused by a disease in the digestive apparatus, possibly colitis, which impedes him from coming to the tray in time.
