Needing some good advice and possible reasons why your feline friend is refusing to utilize their litter box? We have you covered with top tips and possible reasons for litter box woes.&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My <strong>kitten stopped using the litter box<\/strong>. Now what? Litter box mishaps are one of the biggest issues affecting cat owners worldwide. This is particularly true for indoor cats, older felines, or outdoor cats during the cooler months.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you notice any litter box problems, if your cat has developed any behavioral issues, or if your <strong>cat won&#8217;t use the litter box<\/strong> it\u2019s best to seek out professional advice from your vet to rule out any underlying health conditions.\u00a0Interestingly, many pet owners do not seek advice on this common problem until after three months of frustration. Sadly, the problem <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspca.org\/pet-care\/cat-care\/common-cat-behavior-issues\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">can then become behavioral<\/a>, meaning it will be a greater challenge to cure the underlying cause. Top cat vets, who commonly see this problem, have reported that they can more successfully resolve the litter box woes if the pet is seen within a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/xo061ICnUP85ZCBdAp9grA5HlvPor1k6PoOthP_ud063CUlRoZuyluUrcMpt6oqCaijOAyRIOszHNw4rKeYNMbAV_fVdons4aDEkPKT_BHvDoBJVVsKLZjXXrWDYf6tHL9g8cStr\" alt=\"A kitten using a littler box while another watches\"\/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.py-pet.com\/\">Source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why has my cat stopped using the litter box?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why is my cat not using the litter box<\/strong>? According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspca.org\/pet-care\/cat-care\/common-cat-behavior-issues\/litter-box-problems\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the ASPCA<\/a>, around 10% of all cats develop elimination problems. There can be a number of reasons why a <strong>cat is not using their litter box<\/strong>. More importantly, it\u2019s a sign that your cat is desperately trying to tell you something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can range from the basics; the litter tray is not being cleaned enough, or that you have a multi-cat home and there are simply not enough boxes, to the more extreme cases of; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kitnipbox.com\/meow\/index.php\/2019\/11\/11\/10-warning-signs-that-your-cat-is-sick\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">illness<\/a>, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/pets.webmd.com\/cats\/guide\/cat-urinary-tract-problems\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">urinary tract infections<\/a>, or a behavioral problem, such as territory marking due to high-stress levels or anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a good idea to get a clear picture of the litter box issue:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Is the mess just outside the box?&nbsp;<\/li><li>Is it in a new area, like behind the curtains or the couch?&nbsp;<\/li><li>Is the mess only on the floor, or has it occurred higher up on a wall or door?&nbsp;<\/li><li>When is it occurring?&nbsp;<\/li><li>Is your cat exhibiting any other new behaviors like hiding, hissing, or increased anxiety?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Asking these questions can give you a good picture of the possible reasons why your <strong>kitten won&#8217;t use the litter box<\/strong>, and if it\u2019s being caused by anxiety or another concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kitnipbox.com\/meow\/index.php\/2020\/03\/03\/how-to-train-your-cat-with-treats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>How To Train Your Cat With Treats<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Kittens or multi-cat homes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For <a href=\"https:\/\/www.petmd.com\/cat\/training\/evr_ct_how-to-litter-train-a-cat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">kittens<\/a>, watching them using the litter box is a good way to gauge if anything is going wrong. Some kittens will perch on the side of the box and accidentally relieve themselves over the edge. In this case, replacing the open litter box with a hooded version works well. Just ensure you keep the door off the litter box until your kitten is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kitnipbox.com\/meow\/index.php\/2019\/11\/22\/what-to-expect-on-a-kittens-first-day-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">used to the new arrangements<\/a> and is strong enough to push through the flap. It may also be worthwhile to observe <strong>how often your cats use the litter box<\/strong> in case of possible health issues.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a multi-cat home, it\u2019s vital you have one litter box for each cat. It\u2019s also best to keep these boxes in different locations throughout the home. If you notice one of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kitnipbox.com\/meow\/index.php\/2022\/08\/08\/how-cats-can-change-your-life-for-better\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">your cats<\/a> is constantly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kitnipbox.com\/meow\/index.php\/2021\/09\/14\/why-do-cats-go-outside-the-litter-box\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">going outside the box<\/a> in the same area, try adding a litter box to this space, and gradually move it to the desired location.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With all litter boxes, hooded or open, it\u2019s important to keep them clean and remove waste quickly. Hooded versions can better hide odors, but even though you cannot smell it as much as the traditional boxes, your cat will as they enter. This can be a huge deterrent for cats. Regularly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kitnipbox.com\/meow\/index.php\/2019\/07\/17\/types-of-litter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">emptying the litter<\/a> and keeping the box clean and fresh is imperative for preventing litter box issues.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to clean any accidents up quickly, using specially developed products or products containing an enzyme, like washing powder or white vinegar also works well. You need to neutralize the smell or your cat will believe this new area is their toilet spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kitnipbox.com\/meow\/index.php\/2020\/02\/03\/hidden-dangers-for-your-cat-6-shocking-dangers-at-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Hidden Dangers For Your Cat! 6 Shocking Dangers At Home<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/xZFwX886Yg_NfMc8WBMUmKLION0WjmrkKUeWWGsxsaiYgz8yKd69XrhbwbmdoShEnlvOAUygTBL9d-CYIvc8g7lG4lyfpXwv-afKJXdSeLkxkrTKqAIZjVS9ugZbd5J0MQw18EWt\" alt=\"A kitten using a litter box\"\/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.petinsuranceaustralia.com.au\/how-to-train-a-cat-to-use-a-litter-box\/\">Source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Understanding spraying\/marking in cats<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cats are territorial animals, meaning they feel comfort and safety within their chosen zone. Scent plays an important role in marking this territory. For indoor cats, this zone typically includes their home, but for outdoor dwelling cats, this territory can also mean the backyard and even a good portion of your neighborhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cats will typically \u2018mark\u2019 humans, objects, and territory that belongs to them in non-abrasive methods; like head-bunting and rubbing their faces and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kitnipbox.com\/meow\/index.php\/2020\/01\/16\/what-does-your-cats-tail-say\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tails on objects or corners<\/a>. However, if a cat is feeling threatened or heavily stressed, this desire to \u2018scent-mark\u2019 may become more extreme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In these cases, many cats will begin to mark using a concentration of urine. This will normally be done on walls and will tend to be a vertical streak rather than a puddle. Cats will also shake their tails and pad with their feet while marking. Some cats also phantom mark and will show this behavior with no actual urine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you suspect your cat is starting to mark their territory by spraying, seeking immediate professional help from a feline behaviorist is paramount. Removing and understanding the stress to your cat, and also supporting them with medication, may be required.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Common reasons for sudden marking:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2219&nbsp; New cat or human family member<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2219&nbsp; Change of home or environment<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2219&nbsp; Outside stress \u2013 new cat in the neighborhood<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2219&nbsp; Feeling insecure in their environment<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a little bit of time and understanding, your kitty\u2019s litter box woes can be solved! Although your first intervention might not be successful, keep trying and your kitty will be loving their litter in no time.<em>Is your kitty feeling stressed and could use a pick-me-up?
