What to do if the cat began to write anywhere, ignoring the toilet? Moreover, she was accustomed to the tray and regularly went there “yesterday”, and then she suddenly changed her habits, becoming shitting in the wrong place. Carrying around with a rag throughout the apartment, wiping the floors, or constantly washing clothes and hiding clothes in closets - the prospect, frankly, is not very bright. Yes, and scolding the animal also does not make sense - then it will deliberately mischief, to spite the owner. Therefore, in order to solve the problem, you must first understand its causes. And there may be many. Let's talk about the most common of them.

Various diseases of the genitourinary system and the gastrointestinal tract may well be the reason that the cat began to write anywhere. Many breeds have a genetic predisposition to urolithiasis, especially if you feed your pet with cheap dry food. Determining that urination causes pain to a cat is easy enough. She becomes fussy, nervous, for a long time does not dare to approach the tray, meows plaintively. Jumping into the toilet, urinating not in full force, crouching on its hind legs and clinging to the walls of the box. Or, on the contrary, he tries to do everything in an unnatural standing position. The latter option is typical for exacerbations of cystitis.

Over time, the animal forms an association that the tray is pain. So, you need to look for another place. The choice falls on something soft, cozy and safe - for example, bedding, sofa bedspreads, pillows, carpets, etc. Urinary incontinence can also be associated with dysfunction of the sphincter of the bladder, as well as constipation and cysts in the anal region, which serve as pain provocateurs.

In addition to the above reasons, problems with urination can be associated with such factors:

• diseases of the liver and kidneys;
• dysfunction of the digestive system;
• infectious diseases;
• inflammatory processes of internal organs;
• allergic reactions to certain foods;
• neurological disorders;
• progressive rheumatoid arthritis, etc.

In any case, when there are suspicions of any deviations in health, it is necessary to contact a veterinarian and make an appropriate diagnosis. As a rule, blood, urine and stool tests are taken, as well as an ultrasound scan. abdominal cavity for diagnosis and treatment planning.

Territory designation

At the age of 6-8 months, cats reach puberty, and the reproductive instinct makes itself felt with characteristic signs: loud meowing and guttural cries, changes in behavior (excessive affection or aggressiveness), as well as marking the territory. Urine is used by animals as a way to attract a partner and let him know that they are not opposed to mating.

The soiling of furniture, curtains, clothes, master's slippers and other household items indicates that sexual hunting has begun. Through the secreted pheromones, females notify males of their readiness for breeding, and males scare away other cats, letting them know that entry into someone else's territory is prohibited. The process of marking goes like this: the animal approaches a vertical surface (wall, doors, furniture) backwards, raises its tail and leaves fetid traces on the surface with amazing movements.

It is useless to go against nature, therefore, no educational measures and persuasion will help to reason with the cat so that he does not write anywhere. In such a situation, three options are possible:

• Realize natural instinct and produce mating animals. It makes sense when there is an opportunity to attach kittens in the future good hands or sell them if the parents are thoroughbred. It should be borne in mind that frequent mating undermines the health of cats, and cats only temporarily stop marking the apartment.
• Castration / sterilization. Surgical solution of the problem is a fairly common method of contraception. The operation involves the removal of the gonads and, as a result, the sexual activity of the animal is suppressed or completely stopped. It is performed under general anesthesia in a veterinary clinic. After surgery, you will no longer need to try to wean the cat to write in the wrong place - they lose interest in the opposite sex, become obedient, affectionate and do not mark in the house.
• Taking hormonal drugs. There are many pros and cons in favor of this method, so the decision to use oral contraceptives is made individually by the cat owner. Neutering surgery may be contraindicated due to the advanced age of the animal, the presence of a variety of injuries and health problems.

Important: it should be borne in mind that hormonal agents can cause the development of mastopathy and malignant tumors. As an alternative, veterinarians suggest bio-sterilization, that is, a one-time introduction of hormones into the cat's body. The procedure is enough for 9-12 months, and then it is repeated again.

behavioral factor

One of the reasons why the cat began to walk past the tray is a feeling of disgust for the tray. Since animals are by nature very clean and picky about personal hygiene, the slightest violation in the organization of the toilet can lead to fatal consequences.

The cat will develop a reflex type of behavior, and single “misses” will develop into a stable habit of walking anywhere. What might she not like?

• Filler type. For inexplicable reasons, cats react normally to some fillers, while others are completely ignored, regardless of the brand of the manufacturer and the price of the product. Alternatively, the pellets may stick to the paws, have bad smell, cause allergies, etc.
• The size and shape of the tray. For example, too tight, uncomfortable or with insufficiently high / low sides. Some cats prefer to sit in round-shaped boxes, refusing to write in standard rectangular trays.

• Tray instability. If the container sways and rests unreliably on the floor, then this causes anxiety in the animal, and it tries to quickly finish its business and jump out of the tray. Subsequently, the instinct of self-preservation turns on, and the purr is looking for another place for the toilet.
• Tray location. Appearance in the bathroom washing machine, a broom, new furniture and other annoying items causes discomfort, and in some cases, fear to enter the room. The pet begins to get nervous and choose a more secluded area to "sit down".

• Dirty tray. Often cats refuse to go to an unwashed (or insufficiently washed, in their opinion) tray.

In such cases, you need to be patient and try to create the most favorable conditions for the cat to go to the toilet. Here are some actionable tips:

• Put several trays next to each other with different fillers and one completely empty. Moreover, they should differ in size, shape, height of the sides. Observe which of them the animal chooses, and when walking into it is regular, quietly remove all other containers. Often, cats prefer fine-grained litter that has good flowability - you can rummage in it before urinating.
• Use two trays at the same time: the cat will write in one, poop in the other.
• Buy a closed tray-house or make your own construction from a cardboard box with a slot for entry.
• Thoroughly clean the tray after each trip to the toilet. To eliminate the smell, it is advisable to wash cat accessories not with warm or hot, but with running cold water.
• Provide 24/7 toilet access. The door to the bathroom should always be open or half open so that the pet can freely reach the tray.

Other reasons

There are many other factors that cause stress in pets and, as a result, a desire to defecate in the wrong places. Among the most likely reasons that a cat or a cat pisses anywhere, the following can be distinguished:

• Answer to disrespectful attitude by the owners. For example, if a cat is forcibly seated on a tray, roughly taken by the scruff of the neck, poked with its nose into an “incorrectly” made puddle, screamed, or left alone at home for a long time.
• New people appear in the family ( Small child, relatives, friends), which diverts a large share of attention. The pet has no choice but to start playing dirty tricks and thus switch the angle of view of the household on itself.
• Moving to another place of residence. Cats take a long time to adapt to new living conditions, so they have to be taught to the toilet again.
• Repair in the apartment / house. The animal is constantly in a nervous breakdown and reacts to what is happening in a peculiar way, that is, it urinates in the wrong place.
• Association change. Some household items can remind a cat of a toilet (flower pots, shoe boxes, furniture drawers, etc.) and provoke “illegal” actions.

How to wean a cat to go past the toilet

If the cat began to write anywhere, then veterinarians recommend:

• Thoroughly wash soiled areas with disinfectants. Animals have an excellent sense of smell, so the remaining smell will attract them to mischief again and again.
• Spread strong-smelling spices (pepper, cloves, cardamom) or orange peels on “problem” places. The strong scent should stop the cat from urinating in the same spot.
• Stick double-sided tape on the floor / furniture / table and other household items that are part of the pet's “interests”. It will be uncomfortable and scary for him to walk on a sticky surface, which means that the desire to mark territory there will also disappear.
• Put a bowl of food where the cat got into the habit of going to the toilet. The psychology of animals is arranged in such a way that they always urinate and eat in different places.
• Use special sprays that are sold in pet stores. They discourage cats from wanting to defecate outside the litter box.
• Wipe the cat's face with a rag, and then with it the surface where he got into the habit of shitting. Approaching the place of his "atrocities", the pet will hear its own smell and will not want to urinate there.
• Leave a spare tray during a long absence. If the main litter box gets dirty to the point that the cat starts to ignore it, she will be able to switch to a clean box.

And the most important thing to remember is no assault and rude attitude. Physical impact can lead to the opposite effect, and the animal will simply begin to take revenge. More affection, attention and patience, and it is likely that the cat will quickly accept the established rules and try not to break them.

An antibiotic was prescribed, but the course has already been completed. Do you think we should go to the doctor?
Thank you for the doctors, but these clinics are unfortunately very far from my house.

Urolithiasis in cats first aid

Urolithiasis in cats

Urolithiasis - education urinary stones in the renal tissue, bladder, pelvis or their retention in the lumen of the ureters, urethra. The main cause of urolithiasis is a metabolic disorder due to irrational feeding of the animal and against the background of A-hypovitaminosis, also with an excess of mineral salts in water and feed, prolonged retention of urination, an overdose of vitamin D, and prolonged water starvation.

Metabolic disorders lead to a change in the true structure of urine and an increase in the concentration of minerals and organic crystalloids in it, as well as to a change in the acid-base balance and uric acid diathesis. Small stones often linger in the ureters, urethra, causing uremia, hydronephrosis, urinary colic. Large stones may not cause visible damage for a long time. When both ureters or urethra are blocked, anuria occurs, blood appears in the urine. Prolonged blockage of the urethra often leads to rupture of the bladder and death of the animal.

Symptoms. The disease can be asymptomatic for a long time if there is no complete obstruction (blockage of a hollow anatomical formation with impaired patency) of the urinary tract. In the urine, you can find salt crystals, urinary sand and traces of blood. When the urinary tract is blocked, urination is disturbed, colic occurs. Urine acquires a cloudy darkish color, urinary sand appears in the sediment. Urination is painful and frequent.

Diagnosis put on the basis of urine tests, the results of x-ray studies and clinical signs of the disease.

Treatment. The most effective symptomatic therapy using antispasmodic and sedative drugs, as well as surgical treatment, probing, physiotherapy. The release of conglomerates is facilitated by olimethin, cinchofen, anturan, etamide, dry moraine extract, urodan, pinabine, avisan, cystenal.

Prevention comes down to improving the conditions of the animal, training, rationing the diet for the main ingredients (protein-carbohydrate, vitamin, mineral) and watering.

Health to you and your pets.

My cat was diagnosed with this disease at a young age. While he was young, we somehow coped, we will treat him a little and he is normal. And with age, he is a hedgehog 13, he began to piss everywhere, we are already worn out with him. The doctor says that the disease is in remission, there is no exacerbation, and the cat is most likely pissing out of harm. Moreover, it spoils even in the kitchen in the sink, and this is because we have been fiddling with it for so many years, fed only with special feeds. That's such a kitty thank you.

What can I advise you - patience. Cats are unique creatures, but it is not a fact that urolithiasis is the reason for this behavior. After all, we do exactly the same thing. Some, having fallen ill, silently endure, while others take advantage of the current situation. They get used to the fact that everyone is dancing around them, but how sick a person is, how not to help. And the sick... (you can not continue, I think, and so it is clear).

Urolithiasis in a cat. How should he react after first aid?

Valera Drawn Pupil (245), closed 1 year ago

The vet had. He pumped out all the urine. She was with blood. then he took a blood test, made several injections and put a dropper. He said to feed moderately. After they brought the cat home, he went to the water, drank a little and retired to sleep.
The injections were inducing kidneys, stomach, painkillers. No-shpa. After that, the cat became much more cheerful. What sensations can he have after several injections, droppers? He obviously came to his senses, but he lies a lot) Will the treatment be long and expensive?

Added 1 year ago

The cat ate, but not much. Offered fish, sniffed, did not eat. I ate a quarter of sausage and half a teaspoon of sour cream

LOCO Ritchie Thinker (9961) 1 year ago

well, what kind of sausage, if the cat is ill, fish from the microbial bacterium is just not allowed in any form. go on a diet, for example, heels s / d canned food, one can on average 135r, enough for two feedings in the morning and evening, supplement with water. and make sure there are no relapses. regularly give urine for analysis and periodically do an ultrasound.

Sweet Poison Artificial Intelligence(137434) 1 year ago

The main thing is that the cat drank and went to the toilet (wrote).
If the cat does not pee, then the catheter will be sewn in (left) so that the urine does not stagnate.
Sausage, fish, fatty sour cream - that's it. which, in principle, is impossible with the ICD. The vet should have told you about the diet. Most likely. prescribe medicated food.
When diagnosing KSD, the type of stones must be indicated: oxalates. phosphates, urates, struvites. The type of stones indicates what exactly these stones are made of (what forms them). In accordance with this, the diet is prescribed. Although, now they may not have said because the tests are not yet ready.
The cat's behavior is normal. The cat got nervous, received several painful injections, intramuscular injections can still be given. Yes, and injections of painkillers are always painful.
Withdraw from treatment. Your treatment appears to have just begun. Since blood and urine were pumped out in the urine (as I understand it, the cat could not go to the toilet on its own), then the stones are not small in size. This means that you will have to repeat injections, put droppers, and possibly operate in order to remove the stones and bladder torn apart by these stones to put in order.
If there is a predisposition to the ICD, then the health of the animal will need to be monitored all the time. Once every few months, take urine tests and keep on a diet. Otherwise, the stones will grow again and the cat can be operated on at least every six months.

Sweet Poison Artificial Intelligence (137434) Depending on the situation. If these are not stones, but sand has scored everything, then treatment may be limited to 1-2 weeks of injections. Sand and small stones are thus split. Or they can be crushed by ultrasound. But if the stones are large, the bladder is damaged, there is an inflammatory process, then it takes longer. First, drugs are injected for about 2 weeks to remove inflammation and get rid of the infection, then they operate, and then for another week they go somewhere for injections and droppers after the operation (antibiotics are injected so that nothing fester and infection does not occur again).

Sweet Poison Artificial Intelligence (137434) You can get rid of stones: crush them with ultrasound, perform an operation, try to split them with medication. Even if they are surgically removed, before the operation they still try to reduce them through injections so that the cat can go to the toilet and the bladder does not scratch from the inside. But to make sure that they no longer form (there were no relapses) is more difficult. Therefore, doctors say that it is necessary to periodically take urine for tests.

marina salnikova Thinker (8446) 1 year ago

long and expensive. usually for life. the cat lies a lot not from injections. but from the fact that his kidney tissue began to collapse, and intoxication of the body began. if urine has already been pumped out, then there is probably kidney damage, which means a lifelong diet is supposed. kidney damage, unfortunately, cannot be repaired. the doctor had to prescribe a special medicinal food for the cat to dissolve the stones, and leave the fish, sausage and sour cream for yourself.

marina salnikova Thinker (8446) in his case, special food is healthy food. and you will only provoke a relapse with sausage and sour cream. and especially fish. well, everyone knows that phosphorus from fish accumulates and forms kidney stones. probably from such nutrition the stones appeared. the first month - you will definitely need to sit on the stern, and then as the doctor says. I want to clarify that I am now talking about medical food, it can be prescribed to eat up to six months. And further already as will show analyses. then they can prescribe food for the prevention of microbial cb - here you can sit on it all your life. and can allow natural feeding. but you must understand that natural feeding is not sausage. natural feeding is a diet consisting of 70% muscle meat (chicken, turkey, rabbit meat), and another 30% are vegetables,

Why did the cat suddenly start to shit not in the tray? How to be?

It happens that our four-legged pets not only make us happy, but also upset us a little, starting to write anywhere. And the question of why the cat suddenly began to shit not in the tray can arise at any stage of the animal's life with you.

And if you can forgive your beloved pet quite a lot, for example, scratched furniture or a broken pot, then the constant smell of cat urine in the house is impossible to forgive. After all, this smell so often reminds of itself that it begins to annoy not only you, but also your guests, chasing them everywhere. Yes, and wet clothes, shoes or bedding, since the cat began to write anywhere, will not please any lover of living creatures. Let's fight this problem and figure out why the cat shits anywhere.

Causes of cat disobedience

Why suddenly the cat began to do its business on the bed or pee everywhere? Perhaps this is a bad omen and worth sounding the alarm?

To get rid of cat marks and ensure that the cat stops going to the toilet anywhere, it is necessary to understand the reasons for such actions.

The cat does not like the tray, the location of the toilet, the filler

This is one of the most common reasons that the cat stopped going to the tray - the animal simply does not like the toilet, the smell of the filler. This happens if you, for example, purchased a new tray or washed the old one with new cleaning products. Cats prefer to go to pee where there is already some smell of their urine. Therefore, if you tried too hard to rid the cat's tray of the smell, then he may start going to the toilet nearby, on the bed, or anywhere else. The ideal tray should be:

• twice as long as the cat itself, or at least 1.5 times,
• do not have strong odors,
• it was not to be used for its intended purpose by other animals,
• filler is better to take without a special smell.

In order for the cat to stop shitting next to the tray and start walking on the filler, you need to do the following: replace the tray itself, change the cleaning products and not be zealous with them. It is better not to finish washing a little than to leave a pungent smell of detergent.

It is better to place the tray in a rather secluded place where there is no high traffic of people. Cat food should not be nearby, because a cat is always shitting far from the place of food. One way to make your cat feel comfortable and cozy in peeing is to get a covered litter box. So she will feel protected and will gladly agree to visit her own toilet, and not crap anywhere.

What to do if the cat needs to be accustomed to a new filler, but the animal does not like it? In order for the cat to get used to and begin to walk on a new substrate, add a new filler little by little to the old one. And gradually completely switch to the one you have chosen for your pet.

If, when eliminating these reasons, the question of why the cat does its business next to the tray is not resolved, perhaps this is due to other problems.

Associations

If your cat poops on the bed or on the carpet nearby, she may associate your bedspread or floor covering with the litter box. To avoid such mistakes of your pet, for a while remove those things that may be associated with the tray, cover the bed with another coverlet and observe. If your cat or kitten shits on the bed, this is a bad omen, perhaps he is offended by the owner and simply takes revenge. If the cat began to go only to the tray, everything worked out for you, and the reason was precisely in the associations.

Revenge

Yes, this is also one of the reasons that is inherent in such feline behavior. If the cat is offended, then the owner's bed or his things may suffer. And so that your pet does not start writing anywhere - love and respect him, do not beat and do not scold in vain. And what to do if this has already happened, and the cat has shit on the bed or started doing it everywhere? Make every effort so that your pet feels your care, warmth and care and begins, as before, to go to pee on the tray.

Disease

Urolithiasis, intestinal worms, prolonged constipation can all lead to problems with discharge and cause pain to your pet. Therefore, cat litter can be associated with discomfort in an animal, and he will begin to avoid pissing in the right place. And if suddenly a cat, for no particular reason, began to go out of need not in a tray, pay attention to his health. It could be bad omen. What to do? Contact a specialist and treat.

Stress

Just like people, our smaller brothers can experience stressful situations that will have consequences. Moving, the arrival of a large number of strangers on the territory of the cat, the appearance of a child or a new pet in the family - all this can cause the cat to stop going to its toilet.

Love and caress your pets, and they will definitely reciprocate and will not cause you trouble.

Why the cat began to spoil anywhere, what to do: it spoils during estrus, an adult cat spoils

Cats are by nature very clean animals. Most of the period of wakefulness, they carefully lick their hair and paws, put themselves in order. Domestic representatives of the feline family will never sit where it is dirty, they will prefer to stay on a bed that has just been ironed with an ironed bedspread or a freshly laundered sweater.

If you pour food or pour water into a dirty bowl and offer it to a fluffy pet, she will certainly look at the owner with reproach. She refuses to eat, even if she is very hungry. No wonder cats are called the aristocrats of the animal world. They value their person and choose only the best for themselves.

What to do if the cat began to spoil anywhere

Cats are animals known for their cleanliness.

What to do if yesterday's clean started today to crap anywhere?

The first reaction of the owner is shock or righteous anger. Outraged by such impudence and upset, the owner begins to show aggression and scold the pet.

But do not rush to punishment. The act of the cat is not without reason. She does this not out of spite or a sense of revenge, something must be bothering her. You need to try to figure out the reasons that caused such oddity in the behavior of the pet.

You should start acting at the start of the problem, until the trouble has turned into a stable habit.

Main reasons

Before you scold your pet, watch him.

Violation of toilet "boundaries" can be triggered by one or more factors. You should observe the animal for several days, analyze the situation in the house.

A cat is still a kitten

Often the owners of kittens have difficulty with toilet training, you should be patient.

Problems with going to the toilet in a place clearly marked by the owner at this age are natural.

After all, this skill is not innate. If kittens live in the same room with their mother, then they quickly learn toilet "wisdom" from her. If the baby is about a month old and there is no sample of “exemplary” behavior before your eyes, you will have to be patient and don't rush pet.

Painful animal experience

It is possible that going to the toilet causes pain in the cat.

If the animal appeared in the family recently, but it is already quite old, you should ask the previous owners if the cat had problems with urination or defecation.

If he has experienced any kidney disease or other problem that caused pain while going to the tray, then it is no wonder that fluffy perceives his "toilet" as a source of pain. He will perform there only those actions that do not cause him pain. If the cat got into the house from the street and his health history is unknown, you should definitely visit the veterinarian, especially if the pet is of a solid age.

Cat poops during heat

Soreness can also be an explanation of why an adult cat suddenly began to shit during estrus.

Cat doesn't like litter box

It is very important that the tray is comfortable for the pet. In addition, it should not be a source of unpleasant odors.

The pet needs a tray that is spacious enough so that he can turn freely in it when he scoops up the filler. At the same time, the toilet should be a "secluded corner" protected from prying eyes. For this reason, a bulky container will not work, it is unlikely to be placed unnoticed. It is advisable to choose such a size of a cat pot so that it is one and a half lengths of the animal's body in length.

Disgust can also cause too strong a smell. The reason may lie in the material of the container, cheap plastic is especially unpleasant for cats. Also you need to pay attention to the chemical agent that processes the tray when changing filler. It is best to use chlorine-based products. It kills all unpleasant odors, and the specific aroma of bleach itself quickly disappears.

To clean the tray, it is better to use chlorine-based products.

You can use water and neutral odor liquid soap. Another fact in favor of gentle washing of the tray: if you use too aggressive household chemicals, you can remove the cat's amber so much that the animal may lose its association with the container, as with the toilet.

The cat will defecate near the pot if the litter is too dirty. The reason for this may be either its untimely replacement, or a large number of applicants. If several cats live in the room, then the optimal solution would be the simultaneous operation of two trays.

The cat is not happy with the location

Try placing the litter box in a secluded area, away from the food bowl.

Do not place the pot in the immediate vicinity of the cat's feeding area. It's unhygienic. Congenital disgust can provoke an animal to a kind of protest, and it will begin to do its toilet chores in the apartment.

Do not place the tray in an open place, she may feel uncomfortable. The problem can arise if the cat is disturbed during a bowel movement, or if the area where the potty is placed is too noisy and the light is too bright. In this case, in order to wean the cat to go to the toilet in the wrong places, it will be enough to move it to a secluded place. If the dwelling is rather small, good option will be the acquisition of a closed tray in the form of a house.

If the owner is forced to change the location of the pot, this should be done gradually, moving the container a little daily.

The cat does not fit the litter

If such a problem occurs, it is worth trying to change the filler - it is quite possible that your pet does not like it.

Each cat is unique and has its own tastes.

Therefore, it is not always possible to choose a filler for the toilet the first time. This requires patience. A granulated sawdust remedy may not appeal to the animal if it is afraid of losing balance when the granules begin to roll under the paws.

A cat's sense of smell can be disturbed by the very strong odor that certain types of litter give off. when wet. And too aggressive fillers can irritate the delicate sensitive skin paw pads. These types are generally not recommended for use.

If for some reason it is required to transfer the pet from the usual to the new kind filler, you should introduce it carefully, gradually pouring it into the pot and watching the reaction of the cat.

The cat poops and marks its territory

The arrival of a new family member can be stressful for a cat.

The cat may start going to the toilet in the wrong place as a sign of protest. The appearance of a new family member in the house can upset or embarrass him. It can be a child or another cat or dog. In this case, the problem with the toilet is a radical attempt to defend their right to territory. The animal thinks marking a certain area with its smell, it receives exclusive rights to it.

Putting such marks on a cat can also be prompted by a change of home. Moving to new house can cause a pet great anxiety, because the marks are left in the old territory, so logically the cat will want to make new ones. To avoid this, it is important to take some things from the old housing of the cat (toys, scratching posts) and be sure to take his old tray with you.

Why did the cat begin to write anywhere?

Why did the cat begin to write anywhere? This question often interests the owners of adult animals. That's just not necessary now about revenge, anger and others like them. The animal is guided by instincts, not traits or feelings. Let's take a look at the most common reasons. Often, these are health problems and tricks of physiology, but certainly not a desire to annoy the owners.

Urolithiasis disease

Situation. The cat went to the tray. During the process, sand or kidney stones moved. The animal is in pain. When repeated, the reflex begins to be fixed: tray - pain. The pet will begin to write anywhere, but not in the tray.

What to do. Get to the vet immediately! The sooner treatment begins, the sooner the cat will return to its former correct habits.

Advice. Check stains carefully before cleaning. If there is blood in the urine, then 90% of it is urolithiasis.

Surgical intervention

Situation. The cat was spayed or had any other operation. After the procedure, the animal goes about its business in the tray ... and somewhere else. Everything is simple. The abdominal muscles and internal muscles have not yet returned to normal. The pet does not have time to get to the toilet, so she pees anywhere.

What to do. Be patient and wait. If there are no complications, then soon everything should return to normal. The main thing now is not to scold and not to punish. Is it the fault of the kitty that the muscles still do not work very well? Those who were on the operating table will understand.

By the way, infectious diseases genitourinary system have similar effects. For example, with cystitis, the cat also does not have time to run to the tray.

Advice. At first, use special diapers for animals. By the way, this option is also suitable for older cats, which often suffer from incontinence.

Jealousy

What to do. Try to explain to kitty that everything is in order. Caress her more often, stroke her, talk to her, you can even pamper her a little. So the animal will understand that her status as queen in the family has not changed. That's just not necessary now that cats do not understand people. We don’t understand them, but they always clearly understand the words and the situation, they just don’t show it.

Advice. Do not allow a baby or a new animal to offend a pet, otherwise it is fraught with smelly puddles throughout the home.

New Tray or Filler

Situation. The cat walked safely into the old shabby trough. The owners are tired of looking at this terrible pot. They bought a chic beautiful tray, at the same time they decided to change the filler. It is not good, they say, to lay the old newspaper in a new one. Moreover, now there is a grate at the bottom. As a result, the cat will begin to write anywhere, and it won’t even fit the new “toilet bowl”.

What to do. Return everything as it was. What do you value more: your own sense of smell or the ugly tray in the bathroom? So decide. Cats really do not like changes in their lives. A new latrine can also have an unpleasant chemical smell. The person does not feel, and the animal is the strongest stress.

By the way, the grate at the bottom of the toilet creates a strong psychological discomfort in an adult animal. Kitty has a genetic reflex: pee - bury. And how to do this if the claws cling to the bars all the time? It is much easier to do your insidious work in the master's bed, in the laundry basket, behind the furniture. It's easy to dig in there. And it does not matter that there is nothing to sprinkle the puddle with, there is no filler nearby. Most importantly, the process itself is effortless.

Advice. If changing the tray and filler is vital for you, then first thoroughly wash the new dish. Then dry thoroughly and pour the old filler. Gradually add a new one to it - this way you can easily and painlessly retrain the cat. At the same time, get rid of stinky stains throughout the house. By the way, choose absorbent granules without fragrances. Maybe it is the sharp floral aroma that is the cause of the cat's misbehavior.

Physiology

Situation. The cat starts rutting, and she pisses anywhere. As soon as the heat stops, everything returns to a decent clean frame. With the start of the next sexual hunt, the problem reappears.

The thing is that during estrus, a cat attracts a male with such puddles. Say, I’ll write everywhere and more, maybe some brave mustachioed gentleman will feel a desire, look into the light.

What to do. Find your pet gentleman already. As soon as mating takes place, estrus will end. Cat physiology will get its own, and the owners will no longer suffocate from smelly puddles.

If the kittens are not planned, then stop torturing the pet. Take her to a good vet for spaying. Of course, this is a bit expensive, but only once. But how much money can you save! You don't have to change carpet or mattress afterwards. And how much money is spent on removing stains from the bed, clothes, upholstered furniture. All this is solved by one cost per standard sterilization procedure.

Advice. We strongly do not recommend stopping sexual hunting in a cat with special preparations for a long time. In the future, irreparable problems with the health of the kitty are possible, up to incurable fatal diseases. These funds can be used extremely rarely and only in case of urgent need.

Why did the cat begin to write anywhere? As you can see, at the first sign of a change in the behavior of the pet, you need to solve the problem. Just do not try to punish the kitty or even worse, poke your face into disgrace. Often, such embarrassment occurs not through the fault of the cat, but for more serious reasons. Do not pull, remember - we are responsible for those who have tamed.

Injections for urolithiasis in cats

I’m sitting roaring, yesterday our cat ran and played, behaved as usual, and in the evening we look sitting in a tray and can’t pee, it started at 10 pm, so he didn’t go until the morning, at 9 am I was already in the clinic, the result was urolithiasis illness, they pumped out his urine with a catheter, they made a bunch of injections, droppers, they took urine and blood tests, they will be ready tomorrow, the urine was very dark without blood, but there was a lot of sand ((the doctor said I don’t know if he will survive ((.

All hands drop, the mind understands that everything is already useless, but the heart does not accept and everyone’s hands are carried and taken to the clinic with hope. I already wrote a post below about my woolly friend Kuzya. We are 11 years old and of course urolithiasis is not a sentence but there are many but. we are old. cats get sick at an early age. Today, exactly a week since we are fighting for his life, and he does not want to help us.

Before I had time to go on vacation, I found out the sad news about my pet. My beloved, eight-year-old cat, absolutely bloated, was taken to the hospital and operated on urgently. They put him on a catheter and he was in the hospital for a week. Now his mother took him home, she gives him injections. He says that he is lethargic, cries, there is human pain in his eyes, he eats practically nothing. And I will only return home on August 15th. Tell me please, who faced with urolithiasis, how did you nurse your pets? How did you change your diet?

No matter how badly I treat my woolly family member, there is no one to treat him except me. Well, this is the truth of life. Actually, our Manul fell ill, fell ill. The doctor said urolithiasis (it is written in short, something like cystitis) NU prescribed him medicines for 1600 re, my husband came home with a cat and asks with wide eyes if I can give injections. No, well, in principle, I can do everything))) This EVERYTHING applies only to animals. Well, in short, I took on the role of a veterinarian. Burned in the morning.

Hello.
I have a cat, 1.5 years old, a black Persian castrated at the age of six months. A month ago, I underwent a course of treatment for urolithiasis. Marking began during the illness. Naturally, I forgave him everything (the cat was very bad, they thought he would not survive. He lay on half a bed without moving, neither ate nor drank). He barely moved and left a puddle anywhere along the way.
Now his health is almost the same as before the illness. He eats with appetite and drives his favorite ball. But the problem with cleanliness has not gone away !!! He does not mark, but simply relieves his need anywhere. But for the most part, it still goes where it needs to go !!! Please help with advice on how to return it to its former cleanliness.

Hello. Be patient a little longer - the cat has formed a persistent negative reflex to the tray, caused by pain when urinating due to sand irritation. Apply a set of measures for the treatment of urolithiasis, give the cat tablets for resorption of sand (Cyston, Healthy kidneys) for a long time (1-2 months). Be sure to connect the Urinary diet food - feeding with a diet food for a long time helps to dissolve the sand and reduce discomfort during urination. Watch the cat - if you try to urinate in an undesirable place, interrupt this process with a jet of water from a water pistol. Increase the attractiveness of the toilet for the cat - suggest different types filler, use attractive flavors. Limit access to places of uncleanliness (protect them or lay them with things) so that the cat does not form a habit.

Hello. I wrote to you that the cat marks after sterilization (mainly on dog litter). Now the situation has been resolved and I decided to write, maybe someone will need this information. I then took her to the doctor, but no abnormalities were found, and after about a week the marking stopped. Recently, she again began to ignore the tray and I noticed blood in the urine. I immediately took it to the doctor. After ultrasound and urinalysis, she was diagnosed with acute nephritis. Now intensive treatment is underway, I hope for a full recovery, without going into a chronic form. But most importantly, I figured out: if a cat that is clean in life suddenly changes its habits, this is a signal that the main thing is to recognize in time and have time to help. I think that for the first time it was the beginning of the disease (apparently she identified the pain during urination with the tray and began to look for another place where it would not hurt), but neither I nor the doctor then understood this, which is a pity ...

Hello. Thanks for the information, when differentiating uncleanliness, of course, first of all, it is necessary to exclude diseases that contribute to urination disorders. Hope your cat makes a full recovery in all respects.

Hello. Please tell me what is wrong and how should I proceed. The cat (1.5 g) after sterilization began to mark the territory (this began immediately after the removal of the blanket 10 days after the operation). And at first she marked everywhere, and now she purposefully marks the dog's litter (the dog setter Gordon is 1.2 years old, they grow up together almost from birth). I put a tray in this place, the cat appreciated it and began to write in this tray, but as soon as it was removed to its original place (to the toilet), it all started again. Moreover, he poops and pees a lot in the same place in the toilet, and he marks the litter drop by drop. Tell me what she wants to say with this and how to restore her former cleanliness?

Hello. Perhaps the reason for this behavior is postoperative stress and hormonal imbalance. Stressful situation can be corrected with the help of pheromones Feliway in the form of a diffuser or taking sedative drugs. Hormonal imbalance may be due to the operation at the peak of sexual activity and acute estrogen deficiency, as a result of which the physiological effect of adrenal androgens begins to predominate. Try to correct the situation by taking progestogens ( EX-5 ). In parallel with drug therapy, it is necessary to carry out a systematic modification of the cat's behavior - to interrupt the marking with a jet of water from a water gun, treat all the "marked" surfaces from the smell, replace or remove the bedding from the dog for the time being, moving the dog to another place for a while. If possible, it is better to limit the cat's access to the marking sites altogether, and primarily to the dog's bedding.

Hello!
Question: the cat, 2 years old, 8 months old, started marking in the apartment. After castration, he went to the tray for two days, then he began to write on upholstered furniture.!! The cat was calm, playful before after castration. Appetite is normal. Soap, sprinkled with means - does not help. What to do??

Hello. The period of circulation of hormones in the body after castration is 2-3 weeks, so do not expect an instant effect. Decide whether the cat urinates on furniture or marks it - these are different behavioral problems. If you try to urinate on furniture, scare the cat away with water from a water gun. Limit the cat's access to furniture, perhaps you should close it in a confined space - in the hallway or alone with the toilets. Move bowls away from toilets. Increase the attractiveness of toilets for a cat - put an additional tray, use different fillers. You can connect pharmaceuticals (clomipramine), but it is advisable to use them under the supervision of a doctor. Phytopreparations ( Fitex ) and pheromones Feliway have practically no restrictions.

Hello! We have such a problem. The cat (1.5 years old) began to go to the toilet anywhere. It has 2 trays, clean and filled with sand or paper. The problem started recently. Marked places in the apartment 3 times. We scolded him and locked him in the toilet. So he immediately went to both trays.
He is not castrated, well-groomed, kind. I think maybe the problem is in our puppy (8 months), maybe the cat is jealous? But the puppy has been growing with the cat for six months now and everything seems to be fine, and they play and eat together.
Or has this maturation begun? What can you recommend?
And we also read your articles - do you advise to completely remove the smell, where did it mark, with what help can this be done? Antigadin does not help.
Thanks in advance. Sincerely, your reader Vasilisa.

Hello. Yes, it is better to castrate a cat - he will have less territorial and jealous claims, which may well manifest themselves in the form of uncleanliness. In addition, a playful and awkward 8 month old puppy may unwittingly restrict access to the litter box - watch this. The slightest difficulty in accessing the toilet usually leads to the fact that the cat urinates wherever he can. Move food bowls away from toilets - cats try not to go to the toilet where they eat. You can eliminate the smell with the help of special products that decompose the smell at the enzymatic level, for example, Antisept-Deo.

If a neutered cat meets a neutered cat (not living together, and sometimes they have to meet), will they worry? In particular, whether the cat will mark the territory. If he had never seen cats before.

If a cat has another animal on its territory, there is a chance that it will start marking, even a neutered one. This is a different instinct - no longer sexual, but territorial, territorial privatization is very firmly fixed in cats. Although some cats do not start marking even with regular mating and in the presence of other animals. Cleanliness is quite persistently inherited. Since the labeling reflex is explained by increased anxiety, anti-anxiety agents (clomipramine, fluoxetine - be careful, there are contraindications) or pheromones may be effective Feliway .

Hello! My cat is 2.5 years old, not neutered (Scottish Fold). About 3 months ago he began to write on the bed, and he also goes to the tray! What to do, how to wean him? In September, he lived with my mother, then I took him again, maybe he takes revenge on me like that?

Hello. Uncleanliness of this kind is usually a sign of dominant aggression and requires castration of the animal. Be sure to completely remove the smell from the bed, up to replacing the mattress. It is better not to let the cat into this room at all until you are sure that the uncleanliness has been eliminated. Offer the cat another litter tray, make sure the toilet is accessible.

Hello! My cat is 1 year old. 2 months ago he was castrated, but one egg could not be removed from him. After that, he began to actively mark everything (curtains, bedding, furniture), even more than before, before castration. He also became very aggressive, he can attack from the back unexpectedly, or if you stroke him abruptly, he starts biting and scratching, but this happens with some kind of attacks - he is either affectionate or angry. Can this be fixed somehow? Tell me please.

Hello. You still need to remove the second seed. As for the attacks - do not encourage the cat during the attacks, do not play with him, because attention-getting behavior can manifest itself in this way. When attacking, completely stop the interaction, you can use a water gun.

Hello, please tell me, we have a Briton, a boy, 2 years old, not bonfired, I have never seen girls. I began to write on my daughter’s bed (12 years old), then on her briefcase, then on the desk. can write. tell me, if we bonfire it, will it stop it? Or is he now going to write wherever he wants? What can this happen from?

Hello. Most often this occurs as a symptom of territory marking during dominant aggression. Castration reduces the likelihood of such manifestations, but does not completely eliminate them. More behavior modification needed. First, find out the cause of the stress - perhaps the daughter stroked another cat, or went to visit an apartment with animals, or something frightened the cat while dispensing natural needs in the tray. Sometimes the cause of sudden uncleanliness is a disease that causes discomfort when urinating or defecation (colitis, urolithiasis). Do not let the cat into the room where he marks. It is necessary to completely get rid of the smell of urine until the replacement of the substrate. Castration is desirable because testosterone is a catalyst for aggression and territory marking syndrome. Increase the attractiveness of the trays by trying filler or other filler. Use antigadin. The use of anti-anxiety drugs (clomipramine) will reduce stress levels and, accordingly, the need for labeling, but can cause urinary retention, so it is used under the supervision of a physician.

Hello! We have a young cat, he is 1.5 years old, we regularly bring brides to him, he copes with his task with a bang, only as soon as they started bringing cats to him, he began to be mischievous, and from time to time ... When a cat comes to us, he can completely not to mark, but another time it marks both when the cat is visiting, and after it was taken away - it does not react to punishment, but we punish it, because we do not know how to deal with it. Moreover, it seems that the cat knows that it is impossible to mark, because. he always does this while no one sees, and when we find him at the scene of a crime, he crawls with fearful eyes and tries to escape! , usually also secretly. We don’t want to castrate, we get very beautiful kittens! And contraceptives do not want to poison! Will the method "The owner is the main cat in the house" help in this case? And how and in what cases to apply it? It is also interesting to learn about sedatives - how they work and what
fit! And in general, what can be done to ensure that the cat remains sexually active and does not methyl??? Tell me please!

Hello. What you call "naughty" is actually a completely natural reaction of a cat to the appearance of a cat in the house. And it is useless to punish him for this, you will only provoke anxiety in the cat, it will be even more difficult to correct the behavior. He does not understand his guilt, he only feels your irritation, and therefore is afraid. As long as you bring cats to him, he will mark whatever you give him to drink. Moreover, the labeling reflex is a rather persistent problem, if it has become entrenched in the form of a habit, it will be difficult to get rid of it even after castration. When marking, the following measures are necessary: ​​- completely exclude the appearance of new animals in the house - castrate the cat - eliminate the smell in the places of marking as much as possible up to the replacement of the coating, it can be additionally treated with enzyme preparations or Antigadin. Among the sedatives, you can use antagonistic sex hormones in the composition THE EX , contrasex, sex barrier (hormonal drugs that suppress sexual activity) or herbal remedies ( Fitex , Cat Baiyun).

What to do if the cat began to write anywhere? Many immediately give up, believing that it is impossible to wean a cat from this addiction. If a cat pees in different places, then supposedly there is a smell there, and therefore she will misbehave again and again. This statement is not true - it is possible to teach a cat to go to the tray or even to the toilet.

Educate or retrain

If a cat is brought up in time, taught to write in a tray, then in adulthood he will not shit in the wrong place. You can also train a cat to pee on the toilet, but this will require a lot of time and patience. It doesn't matter what age your new cat. If you took home adult cat, then she must immediately be taught to write on a tray or toilet. It is important to consider the following facts:

• For a cat, a comfortable tray is very important. It should be deep enough, in length - 1.5 times longer than the body of the cat (if your cat more than a year). Some cats like to pee in trays with sides. There are also cats that do not perceive the usual tray. For them, you will have to buy a dry closet (a house in which there is a tray);
• Tray filler. In addition to standard fillers, sand and sawdust can be used. They differ from the filler in that they do not absorb odor and absorb so well. You can choose woody, standard or flavored litter for your cat, based on his preferences.

One common reason a cat behaves this way is because of the wrong litter. Cats may not like, for example, wood litter or sand. If your cat has had his claws removed, he will likely find it uncomfortable to step on the litter. The way out of the situation is a grid on the tray.

Re-education of kittens

With a kitten, everything is relatively simpler - it does not need to be retrained. In the early days, you will have to watch the kitten and wait until he wants to write. Blot the puddle with a cloth or toilet paper and take it to the tray. Then remove the puddle, treat the place with a chlorine-containing preparation. You can also spray this place with a repellent spray.

The tray should be in the room where the kitten wrote. Pour some litter into the litter box, put that piece of paper or cloth in there, then take the kitten to the litter box. He must remember where the toilet is.

Tip: Don't wash your kitten's litter box for the first week, as it's based solely on scent. You can wash the tray only if the animal has worms.

How to retrain an adult cat

Why does an adult cat piss anywhere? The most common causes are hormonal imbalance or poor health. Retraining an adult cat to write in the right place is much more difficult than accustoming a small kitten to a tray. On the time to leave your business and take care of raising a pet:

• You will have to buy a new litter box for your cat. It should be spacious, preferably closed. Cats value privacy very much, and therefore will always look for a closed place for the toilet. You can also purchase a special spray that will scare away animals, preventing them from peeing in the wrong place;
• If the cat has started to write everywhere, repellent sprays will help a lot. In this matter, the smells of eucalyptus, citrus, mint or green tea are very effective. You can create an atmosphere that is unpleasant for the cat with your own hands by placing the source of the smell in the right place. There are also sprays that attract the attention of cats. They most often smell like sawdust and other materials that absorb moisture well;
• Some owners believe that cats are deterred by the smell of bleach. Chlorine-containing preparations are unpleasant for cats, but they can get used to it. That is why you need to use bleach only to clean the floor and eliminate the smell;
• If you don't have the right spray nearby, you can use any strong-smelling substance. Warming ointment, Asterisk balm, helps a lot. Use these remedies in moderation, as they can upset the balance of the nasal mucous membranes.

If you find that a very obedient cat has started to write all over the place, then most likely she is under a lot of stress. The pet may be nervous due to a lack of communication and attention.

When a cat is stressed by pissing in the wrong places, you can not scold and punish him, as he will only get angry at you. Continue to love your pet, try to play with him more often and pet him. When the cat realizes that you truly love him, he will stop peeing on the floor or furniture. If the situation remains the same, it is worth observing what exactly worries your pet.

A great way to give your cat self-confidence is to make him a house (made of cardboard or buy in a store) and put it on a hill. To begin with, you can put the house on the windowsill, and then on the closet. Make the house as cozy and warm as possible, as well as comfortable. To make your pet comfortable, equip the entrance to a closet or window sill.

Diseases of the genitourinary system

Cats are naturally very clean and will never pee in their home. But sometimes litter-trained animals start pissing anywhere. Not always such behavior is a sign of poor upbringing of a cat. The most common cause is a serious illness, such as kidney failure. The most common diseases associated with cat misbehavior are:

• Urinary incontinence. The cat pissing in addition to his toilet is not intentional - she simply cannot control this process. Usually such places are a bed, carpet or shoes;
• Urinary incontinence can develop subsequently inflammatory processes, injuries or diseases of the spine, ectopia of the ureters. Also, cats can suffer from these ailments in old age;
• Strong stress. The cat begins to write in strange and atypical places, for example, in a flower pot. The cat may be jealous of the owner for a new family member or pet, bored or worried about the owner's illness. Often cats show jealousy towards newborns, pissing on toys and other things of the child. In such a situation, it is very important to calm and caress the cat, show her that you love her;
• Urolithiasis or ICD. The disease affects genetically predisposed to it, older cats, as well as those who eat cheap dry food. Kidney stones bring a lot of trouble and problems with urination to a cat. The cat may feel the urge, but it is difficult to write;
• Cystitis. This inflammatory process is similar in its symptoms to KSD. With this disease, the cat pees past the tray or in an unnatural position for her (for example, standing).

Reason for bad behavior Your pet may have a urinary tract infection. Some of the most common are pyelonephritis, nephritis, glomerulonephritis (renal inflammation), ureitis. Also, the cat may suffer from atony - a violation of peristalsis. In this disease, the cat involuntarily pees when the bladder overflows.

Keep an eye on your cat's health - if she is having difficulty urinating or if the color of her urine changes - contact your veterinarian immediately.

Hormonal causes

Cats that go through empty estrus begin to attract males more actively. If the cat began to mark, then it is likely that the cause was a hormonal failure. It is dangerous for the development of pyometra (inflammation of the uterus). In males, everything is much more complicated: inflammation or testicular cancer develops. The smell of "marks" becomes stronger and more unpleasant.

The problem has one simple solution - sterilization or castration. If your cat does not have breeding value, then this procedure will only benefit. Be aware that a few days after the operation, the cat may involuntarily write, but this will pass later.

If you spay him, you will reduce the number of stray cats and your cat will never mark his territory. Please note that after surgery, cats require special care and a salt-free diet.

If your cat cannot be spayed or neutered (due to heart disease, age, trauma, immunodeficiency, hemophilia, etc.), then you can resort to using oral contraceptives. When a neutered cat pisses anywhere, he experiences a lot of stress.

You can also use bio-sterilization, based on a single injection of substances that inhibit sex hormones in the cat's body. The effect of this procedure lasts from six months to a year, then the procedure will have to be repeated. Before use, be sure to visit a veterinarian so as not to harm your pet even more.

It is worth using contraceptives only in extreme cases, since, according to statistics, they lead to the development of breast tumors and oncology. Use the most safe ways to wean a cat to shit in the wrong place, and in severe cases, contact your veterinarian.

Vet

Greetings, dear readers, of my blog! Today I am fulfilling the promise that I made to my regular viewer, consider this situation - the cat began to write anywhere, why is he doing this and what should we do?

I propose the following outline of the article:

1. Main reasons.
2. What can be done?
3. Conclusion.

Causes

Imagine a similar picture - everything was fine, your cat is accustomed to the tray and went to it steadily, but then began to leave puddles in the wrong place. For example, he wrote near the tray, on the bed or carpet in the hall, or shit in slippers - such a classic case.

Naturally, you might think that your cat is completely pissed off, you are with him with all your heart, and he repaid you with disgust. But if the cat began to write anywhere, then there is a reason, and not because he is taking revenge on you.

Diseases. The first thing to rule out is disease. Many pathologies lead to frequent urination, frequent urges, and the appearance of pain in the animal. An increase in the amount of urine, incontinence and other unpleasant consequences.

For example, a cat has developed cystitis or urethritis, then he will constantly run to the tray, write in small portions, and sometimes not reach his toilet. Also, the animal may stop using the toilet correctly due to urolithiasis, diabetes, allergies, hepatitis, kidney disease and other disorders.

Age. Recently I published an article, I told in it, there is also a video on YouTube on the same topic. There are many messages under these publications, and often people complain that the kitten goes to its tray every other time. When I ask you to clarify how old the kitten is, they write 1-2 months.

Friends, at this age, the baby's nervous system is only developing, and he will make mistakes, it takes time and patience. Stably the kitten begins to use the tray, after two months and misses are acceptable.

And over the years, when a cat has age-related changes in the body: visual acuity and smell worsen, joints hurt, she can also begin to ignore her usual tray. It may be difficult for her to climb into it, or she will perceive the smell differently.

Toilet condition. It is important to keep the tray clean, you need to wash it after each use. It is not advisable to use products with a pungent odor, you can do with clean water, in extreme cases, add a drop of liquid soap.

I like this round tray better.

If you use a filler, then choose without flavoring. Keep in mind that cats are sensitive to smells and don't like sudden changes. One filler came up to you, suits you and your pet - no need to experiment and buy another one on the advice of friends.

It may be that the tray has become uncomfortable over time. When your cat was small, he willingly used it, but he grew up and now he has to walk for a long time, or he tips over.

An unusual case. I'll tell you a little story. My friends' cat went straight to the tray without failures, but when they were doing repairs, they rolled the carpet into a roll and placed it in the corridor, next to the tray.

While the cat habitually sat down in the toilet for some reason, a bundle fell, making a lot of noise. Naturally, the animal was frightened, after which she stopped coming to the tray, and if she was brought to him in her arms, she immediately ran away. She began to make puddles all over the apartment, until with great difficulty the cat was accustomed to a new tray, of a different shape and color, installed in another room.

I told you only about one case, but negative connections during the use of the tray can arise under different circumstances. For example, I watched how small children, frightened or drove a cat when he urinated, was attacked by a dog living in the same apartment.

Weather in the house. Remember how Larisa Dolina sang in the song that the most important thing is the weather in the house? Cats are sensitive animals and if there are changes in your life, then the pet will perceive it in its own way.

For example, a child, to whom the cat had special feelings, grew up and left to study. Either you suddenly decided to take up the upbringing of the animal and used physical force, or rudely drove him from his favorite place. Or before that, everything was fine with you, but scandals began with noise and screams. Such actions may have consequences.

The appearance of strangers. It often happens that you got another animal, and the cat began to write anywhere, so your old-timer can protest and defend his territory.

A similar reaction occurs to the appearance of another cat, dog, child, or your relative who came to stay for a few days.

Territory marking (tags). This is probably the most common problem. Marking the territory, both males and females, as well as a small percentage of castrated animals.

Usually, cats leave marks on vertical surfaces (walls, furniture, curtains ...), and females urinate in small portions in different places. I think it is worth writing a separate article on this topic, if you are interested in learning more about the marks of cats (cats), why they do it, then leave a few words in the comments. If there is interest, I will make a separate post.

So, your cat started to write anywhere, what to do?

As you understand, in order to solve a problem, you need to know the cause of its occurrence. We listed the main reasons above, respectively, we list possible solutions:

1. It is necessary to examine the cat, exclude diseases, pay special attention to those that often affect the urogenital area. How to do it? Of course, it is better to show the animal to the doctor, he will examine it, most likely send it for additional studies: ultrasound, blood, urine, etc. And then, depending on the identified disease, he will prescribe treatment.

You can independently examine your cat, notice the color of urine, its quantity, smell, frequency of urination, measure the temperature. You may be able to make a preliminary diagnosis, or find a clear cause.

2. We follow further, you have conducted a comprehensive examination by the doctor and did not reveal any abnormalities - your cat is healthy. So, we analyze the state of the tray, whether you wash it regularly, maybe you recently bought a sharply smelling filler, that is, we are moving in this direction. Perhaps they moved it to a new place, someone scared the cat during the process, and so on.

What's wrong?

3. The appearance of other animals or people in the house. In this case, everything is individual, but general recommendations such: you need to separate the places of feeding, rest and toilet. Make sure that the animals have less contact, especially at first. In this video, I talk about the appearance of a second cat in the house.

If you plan to have a baby, before you pick him up from the hospital, it is advisable to bring a few things with his smell so that the cat gets used to it.

4. If a cat or a cat began to mark, in this case castration is effective, that is, the removal of the gonads. But keep in mind that if the operation is done after the cat has already begun to leave marks, you will have to wait a few months. It is better to carry out castration before the manifestation of sexual instincts.

5. Limitation of space. During your absence, the cat can be left in a small room, where there will be a toilet, a place to rest and food with water. Or purchase a special spacious cage. But usually this method only works when the cat is locked up, when released, it can again make a puddle in the wrong place.

Conclusion

Friends, keep in mind that I have described only a small part possible causes and methods for their elimination, there are times when you can not do without a specialist.

And so that the specialist can help you faster - give him more information. To do this, get a notebook and note in it any changes in the behavior of the animal. How often the cat goes to the toilet, at what time, the color and volume of urine, whether you have guests, the neighbors brought the cat, and so on. Consider every little thing. The topic is quite extensive, I think, let's stop there for now, otherwise the article turns out to be endless, until we meet again in the next publications.
