Why does a mother cat pee outside the litter box?

If you have had any other cats that peed outside of their litter box, your cat may be marking its territory. If not, your cat may have a urinary track infection. If it was my cat, I would take it to the vet to get it checked out.

How do you stop cats from peeing in sandbox?

A sand box is a natural place for a cat to pee. When I lived in SanDiego not far from the beach I used sand my cat's litter box. Clean, scoopable, clay cat litter is the only alternative to your cat peeing in your kids sandbox.

What do you do with a cat who stands on the litter box but actually goes on the floor outside of the litter box?

You may need a longer litter box. I bought just a plain plastic one at a hardware store or places like Walmart or Zellers. Then use clumping kitty litter and be sure to clean out the kitty litter box every day with a slotted scooper and bag it and throw it in the garbage. Many cats don't like dirty litter boxes and I own one! LOLAnswerSometimes the cats just get impatient and want to get over with bathroom and get out there and play. I've even heard of a case where the owner bought the big litter box with cover over it so the kitty litter won't be everywhere on the floor. The cat simply just poked his head in, pretended that he's "inside" and pooped outside. So it's really your kitty thinking to itself "oh, I'm relieved" and thinking it's the right place. After all, the front half is in! -_-;;; My cat was getting bigger and his left foot was hanging out of the litter box (he wouldn't go all the way in), and sometimes the peed half in and half out of the box. These things happen. That's why I got top-entry litter box! He can't just pretend to be inside or not. He has to go inside to see the litter. If your cat continues to pee outside the box even with this box, then it's behavioral problem (your cat just doesn't want to go to litter box to pee) rather than litter box problem.Simply get a litter box with taller sides.you could get a dome litter box, one with a lid. then the cat's pee would hit the side of the box instead of going outside of it.


How will kittens react to a cat pee stained carpet?

They might believe it's alright to use the carpet as a litter box since the smell will be in the carpet


How do you train a cat to use a pee pad?

Same way you get them to use the toilet, first put the litter box where you want the pads, after about a week put little litter in box, after another week take all the litter out and put a pad in once the cat is used to this take the box away but put a small pile of litter on the pad. Then take the litter away. The thing is a box is probably better, using pads causes a much stronger cat urine smell.


If my male cat's pee smells strong does it have to do with him being with a female cat?

Does a male cat pee on carpet because of a smelly litter box?

Cats are naturally clean animals, so it is likely that a cat regardless of gender will stop using the litter box if it is too full, dirty or smelly. It is likely the cat will go back to using the box once it is thoroughly cleaned. Another reason for inappropriate urination could be due to a bladder problem. Sometimes, cats tend to urinate somewhere else in the house instead of their litter box as they associate the litter box with pain.


How do you stop a cat peeing on the carpet?

you have to train your cat that its not a good thing to pee on the floor, 1.scold and punish it when it pees on the floor 2.reward and praise it when it uses the litter box this tells your cat that using the litter box is a good thing and peeing on the floor is a bad thing.

How do you clean a cat's litter box?

I would suggest that you should buy a scooper or a roll of plastic bags that you can use to remove any feces (poop) or urine (pee). Depending on the litter brand, you can flush the litter down the toilet (check packaging for litter) or throw it into the trash can. Every week or so, remove ALL of the litter, wash down the box with a soap with no dangerous ingredients that may be harmful to your cat and rinse it with water and dry it. Then, when it is all dry, fill it back up with two to three inches of the cat litter and you are done! Remember! Always keep the box as clean as you can! Would you like step in your own poop/pee every time you had to go to the bathroom?
