Why do cats go to the bathroom on the floor and not in the litter box?
Meweez3328
Cats will poop on the floor if you do not train them to. If you train your cat, and it still poops on the floor, spray him/her will a spray bottle filled with water, and if they do not stop either way, they were raised the wrong way, and you will have to put down something on the floor that is noisy when you step on it, on the place they go to the bathroom.

∙ 14y agoIt might be because your cat's litter box is in a noisy place, such as a laundry room. Move it to somewhere more secluded. If you have more than one cat and they all use the same litter box, get at least one litter box for each cat, though not all next to each other. Never punish your cat when he doesn't use the litter box, for this will just make him confused, and he might continue doing so. Also, if your cat is not fixed, try doing that. Fixing him will take away the need to mark his territory.

∙ 9y agoThey don't all do this. Most cats can be trained to be pretty consistent in this area. However, if they are sick, or sometimes if they are just in a bad mood, they might not use the litter box. Some theorize it as a way to train humans to stick around or be more consistent. Others think that the cat was just having a bad day, or sometimes a kitten is too young to be consistent yet.

How do you potty train an adult cat?
Potty training my cats were very simple. All I did was get a litter box put in my bathroom and filled it with litter and then just put the cat in the litter box and they just knew what to do and now they where to go to do their business. It also a good idea if you have multiple cats to have more than one litter box if they are inside cats. another problem is if you have a door on your litter box I'd recommend taking that off for a couple days to get them used to the litter box first. Now if you have outside cats you don't have to worry about any of this. Another thing is it might be to dark for them so maybe leave the light on.
How do you get your cat to stop peeing on the bed?
your cat should not be peeing on the bed. they are "programed" to go to the bathroom in their litter box. maybe something is bothering your cat or not. you might want to find out. Cats will use the bathroom somewhere they feel comfortable (e.g. the bed, or the same spot in the same place) if there is something wrong with the litter box. Every cat is different. The litter box may not be clean enough for them. You should check the state of the litter. When was the last time you cleaned it? Or replaced all of the litter? Is there enough litter (a few inches at least)? Also, is the litter box big enough? Sometimes cats will not use the litter box if it's too small. Is it enclosed, or have a lid? Some cats won't use these. Good luck!

How do you stop my cats from coming in the house and using the bath room what is a good home remedy?
If your cat is an indoor/outdoor cat. You must provide a clean place for him or her to use the bathroom inside as well as out. Get a plastic litter box at a local pet store, put about 3" of litter in the bottom. Most litter box kits come with the plastic pan and scoop to clean it out with. Cats are very clean animals. They are also extremely smart. Show your cat where the litter box is located and it should not take long at all for him/her to know it's there and begin using it. I have six cats; four of which were strays. I have not had any problems with any of them going to the bathroom anywhere other than in the litter box. I promise you will not have a problem if you provide her/him with a litter box with clean litter and leave it in an area where they can access it. You need to scoop out the litter box at least every other day. Enjoy your cats, they depend on you, and provide unwavering love to you. :)

How do you get your cats from peeing places?
Ok you get some liter stuff I forgot what it's called and get a box shaped thing and put it on the floor and show you cats where it is and Lethe cat smell it It will take a little while before she/he knows that there's a litter box cause I did the same thing to my cats and they now use the litter box now HOPE THIS WORKS It's called cat litter, and the "box shaped thing" is a cat box or some people call it a litter box. And if your cats are already litter trained and there is something else wrong, try to catch your cats while they're doing it and spray them with a spray bottle filled with plain water. In the meantime, try to figure out what it is that is upsetting them.
