I have 3 cats and 4 litter boxes. I put one in a private location because my male cat poops everywhere but the litter box, if my female cats use it.
How can I get him to use the litter box?
he is almost a year old, he was a rescue like all my cats and he has only been doing this since I got the two female kittens.
I’ve brought home a baby male kitten to share with my older spayed female cat. She has never had a soiling accident until now. I already know it’s because of the kitten and she’s probably freaking out about it, but what can I do to make her quit soiling outside of the litter box?
I have a almost 3 yr old female cat, and she is urinating behind the couch, against the wall, and I just now noticed some solid waste on a chair in the basement. The litter box is in the basement, and she shares the home with her sister. But her sister is not having this problem. What can I do to get the odor out, and prevent her from continuing this problem?
She sits in the litter box and poops outside it. How can I get her to do the opposite?
My cats’ pee always sticks to the bottom of the box and I have to scrape it off. Is there an easy way to prevent this? Should I use more litter? Maybe I should use a litter box liner? Thanks in advance.
What type of litter should you use in a litter box for a puppy. I’ve read that cat litter and clumping litter is harmful. Also that cedar chips is harmful as well. Help please!
There is 2 cats, both calico, one male and one female. the female is always dominating and indoors, the male is usually outside, comes in to eat/sleep then leaves. they’re both over 10 yrs. old, but the female uses the litter box. The male doesn’t. The male poops and pee’s anywhere in the garage, especially if we arent awake to let it out.. How do we train the male calico to start using the litter box?
I took in a stray cat approx 2 yrs old, male. I already have 3 cats who share a large litter box. I constantly let the new cat out side to go to the bathroom. He has peed on my carpet when he wasn’t able to get outside in time. I have tried to make him use a litter box by closing him off in the bathroom with litter, I used sherdded paper, I used dirt to make him think he was outside. Nothing has worked. He just holds it in! I had him neutered within a mth of taking him in a year ago. He is the coolest cat, I love him so much I want to make this work!
Ok, this is going to be a little long
My first cat was Tommy, i got him when he was thirteen weeks old. I got my second cat, Nala a month later and shes the same age as Tommy. Soon after, Tommy and Nala became mates and had a still born kitten. Nala had to go under immediate operation to remove her uterus, so she can’t produce kittens, and she is also spayed. Tommy was as well neutered, because he was spraying too much in his litter box. But after neutering him, the spraying problem still did not go away.
I got my third cat, simba, a male, a year later, he was…1 year old or something and neutered. i dont remember. Tommy is the nicest cat on the planet. he never hisses at a new cat, or shows any aggression. He tries to befriend them as soon as possible, so this was how it was with tommy and simba. they had no enmity. tommy, of course, was older but he was never territorial or anything.
after simba’s arrival, he kind of stole nala away from tommy. nala and tommy didnt play anymore like they used to. whenever tommy tried to play with her, she would meow, it kind of sounded like a warning meow, and she would run away. only simba and nala played with eachother.
and whenever tommy tried to play with simba, simba usually was kind of scared of tommy when he playfully stalked him. simba wud run under the bed and tommy would sit there, meowing and waiting for him to come out. i always saw it as play fighting, and i was sure it was at that time, because tommy was never aggressive.
so now its been 4 years since ive had all of them, and their relationships were fine. it was like they were a real family. until february 2009.
i started noticing more aggression in simba and tommy’s playing behavior. when tommy pounced on him, he would screech more than meow. i never gave much thought to it, until my mom brought it to my attention.
for two or three days, i also noticed a spray of pee which formed into a 1 inch puddle in the bathtub. i know that it’s tommy’s because simba doesnt have the habit of spraying. so then i started to think that the problem tommy had was territory. but after all of these years why would tommy choose to fight for territory now? i thought they were like brothers.
recently, whenever tommy pounces on simba, they get into a BIG cat fight. rolling around, growling, hissing, scratching… but tommy doesnt hiss or growl. its only simba. i know that tommy scratches and bites simba more than just playfully because ive found scratches on both of them which had turned into scabs. ive also noticed this killer expression tommy has on whenever hes stalking simba. before i was in doubt but now i really think tommy is reacting with aggression.
only one of them can be in a room. if tommy is out, then simba seeks perching on the top of my kithcen cabinets, which is near the ceiling. and whenever tommy is sleeping in the closet (which is for the whole day) simba can freely roam the house.
also, what i think is cute is that whenever simba and tommy get into a fight, nala hisses and growls and attacks both of them. it looks like shes trying to stop them. but is that also a problem?
what can u make of this situation and how do i stop this aggression?? oh, also i spray tommy with water whenever hes stalking simba. but that’s not working.
i appreciate all answers. thnx!
My kitten likes to lie down in her litter box because it is cool there. How do I stop her without making her stay out of it for its intended purpose?
