What to do if the cat began to go to the toilet in the wrong place?

With what it can be connected? How to deal with the problem? The most common opinion: the cat crap in the wrong place out of revenge. Yes, it is worth recognizing that cats are creatures with a fine mental organization, resentment can push them to such dirty tricks. But, unfortunately, the cause of bad behavior can be much more serious.

If the animal suddenly stopped using the tray, first rule out the obvious. If you changed the filler, go back to the previous one, do not forget to clean the cat litter; in addition, the smell eats into the plastic box very much – think about whether it’s time to update the pet’s tray. If there have been changes in the family or in the house, pay more attention to the pet: perhaps he is suffering from loneliness or fear, and the reason for his behavior is the onset of depression.

If there were no external factors capable of provoking the animal to “hooliganism”, then do not rush to scold the pet, but consult a doctor.

Problems with the urinary system and the gastrointestinal tract lead to such behavior. The animal simply cannot restrain himself and goes to the toilet where he wants to. In addition, owners may notice urine leakage from a pet, which is also a very unpleasant symptom.

A doctor will help to determine exactly what provoked a cat or a cat to disgrace. An in-person visit to the clinic may not be required – in the Petstory application, you can describe the problem and get qualified assistance (the cost of the first consultation is only 199 rubles!). Maybe it’s time to castrate or neuter your pet (if you’re not going to breed). Or perhaps the animal needs treatment.

By asking questions to the doctor, you will be able to exclude the disease, and in addition, you will receive recommendations for further solving this “smelling” problem.

If the animal is healthy, but the problem persists, a zoopsychologist will help, who can also be consulted in the Petstory app. You can download the application from link.
