Cat eliminating outside the litter box? Rule out medical problems first. Then, add more boxes, scoop daily, use preferred litter, and eliminate access issues.
Litter Box Issues
Redirect biting/swatting during play. For random aggression, determine trigger through notes, evaluate environment
Aggression
Help anxious cats by providing hiding places, keeping feeding/litter box area separate from noisy rooms, using calming aids, and sticking to routines.
Anxiety
Discourage scratching inappropriate areas with double-sided tape. Provide sturdy scratching posts, vertical and horizontal.
Destructive Scratching
Stop night chaos by scheduling rigorous play sessions right before bed - get all that energy out! Feed dinner earlier as full bellies lead to restful sleep.
Night Activity
Talkative cats want attention! Play with vocal cats daily, teach them commands to redirect demanding meows, and ignore mild vocal attention-seeking.
Excessive Vocality
Neutered males + females spray walls/furniture out of stress. Clean soiled areas thoroughly with enzymatic cleaners
