Cats normally bury their urine and feces. For this reason, they will urinate in litter. Providing a litter box is a great substitution.
whenever the cats covered their feces or urine, the litter would go up their nails and infect them.
Oddly, yes! Some cats are particularly finicky when it comes to litter boxes - some cats will refuse to defaecate in a box they urinate in, or vice versa.
Cats use urine to mark territory. Their feces doesn't do much.
To bury their feces. They do this in the wild as well.
im pretty sure its cause they prefer to cover their feces(especially if they are litter trained). They think of it as a large litter box.
well my cats do that and when i go into the back room where the litter boxes are... i step on it i figured out that its cuz my cats go to burry it.. sending other feces flying out of the box
No, male cats spray urine to mark territory.
Yes, they can. Cats won't deliberately step in poop -- in fact, they will avoid stepping in their poop at all costs -- but traces of fecal matter (microscopic traces that you can't even see) will still spread around the litter box and get on their paws. And then they jump on the counter and transfer these microscopic levels of feces onto the counter.
No and in fact, cats can carry a deadly parasitic disease called toxoplasmosis. It is found in both their urine and their feces. So, don't try to ingest it.
You can catch toxoplasmosis from mice feces in your home. Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic disease that pets can carry, especially cats.
No its good because it allows you to collect all the waste matter in the litter box including urine. The best one is dr. Elseys precious cat premium clumping litter.
