"Do you know what was the most crashing moment after I raised a cat?"
"I went home after work that day and was very tired. I wanted to lie in the bed and go to bed quickly, but suddenly I felt a chill behind my back."
"I got up and took a look. sheets wet and there was a smell of urine!"
"I glanced at the cat squatting beside me. I really thanked him!"
"There is obviously a cat litter box, why does it still urinate?"
urinate is definitely one of the most collapsed things in raising a cat. As long as you have experienced it, you will understand how desperate it is.
The place where the cat has urinated is not only traces, but also smells, and it is difficult to clean up. Even something that has been urinated once can only be thrown away.
In order to avoid this bad experience, it has become very important to find the reasons behind cats urinating randomly and intervene in time.
If you don’t want the domestic cat to have such bad behavior, please carefully read the analysis below.
Is it anxious?
Anxiety is one of the main reasons why cats urinate.
Cats are timid animals, and many things can easily make them anxious.
The most common thing is changes in the living environment, and sometimes we also call it a cat's stress response.
- Is there a new member in the family? guest? New pet? Or a newborn?
- Has the location of large furniture in the home changed?
- You were originally going home at 6 o'clock in the evening, but did you go home at 2 o'clock in the morning today? Are construction sites or roads near
- under construction? Has the construction sound become noise?
- New Year is celebrated today, Fireworks and Firecrackers is very lively? The cat may not feel that way.
- Have your attitude towards cats suddenly changed? Did you scold it today? Or did you hit it with a small bamboo pole?
- Did the cat accidentally get locked in a room?
- You will not think that you will be safe if you put your cat food and water on it, right?
In addition to the above examples, many details in life may cause cats to be anxious.
So, when a cat suddenly develops urination, please first reflect on your behavior and examine whether there have been major changes in your life recently.
If the above reasons do not exist, it can basically rule out the indiscriminate urine caused by anxiety.
Then you should consider the next possible reason.
Is it sick?
disease is also one of the causes of cats urinating randomly.
When a cat feels uncomfortable, it may urinate randomly for the following reasons.
If the process of peeing makes the cat feel painful, it may link the pain of peeing with the cat litter box.
"When you remove the cat's litter box, you will feel pain" - this is a circuit that is easy to form in cats' minds.
When this brain circuit is formed, in order to avoid pain, it will naturally no longer choose cat litter box to pee.
Although you still feel uncomfortable when peeing elsewhere, cats still do this.
Another reason is that the disease may cause the cat to become weak, so that it prevents the cat from wanting to move.
When you don’t want to move and can’t hold it in, of course it will urinate randomly.
So, after you rule out anxiety, you should send the cat to the hospital for a checkup. If it is caused by disease, it is of course necessary to treat it in advance.
Is it unfamiliar with cat litter ?
The experience of using cat litter is also one of the reasons why cats urinate, but it is often a secondary reason.
Different cats love cat litter of different textures different degrees. Some cats can accept tofu cat litter, while others cannot.
Some cats can accept cat litter with fragrance, while some cats hate pungent smells very much.
If the cat litter has made the cat so annoying that it is completely unacceptable, refusing to use the cat litter box is of course the choice it can make.
In addition to the texture of the cat litter itself, the cleanliness of the cat litter box will also affect the cat.
Dirty cat litter box cats naturally don’t like to use it. When the cat litter box is full of poop, it will no longer want to go in.
In addition to loving cleanliness, this is also related to the nature of cats. Cats are almost buried after pooping in cat litter box. Do you know what is burying?
covers up the odor and prevents your whereabouts from being discovered by other animals. Although domestic cats do not have this outdoor threat, their nature has not changed.
When the cat litter box is full of smell, will it still choose to poop there? It may have long been doubting whether it has been exposed to the hunter's eyes.
Therefore, it is very necessary to clean the cat litter box once a day. Don’t let the cat develop the habit of urinating randomly because of these trivial matters.
Conclusion
The reasons why cats urinate are roughly the above three points: anxiety, disease and a bad toilet environment.
If your cat has urination behavior, please follow the above three points to check.
Find the cause and treat it symptomatically, and you can help the cat get rid of the bad habit of being in chaos in the years.
