Cats have always loved to clean. As long as the owners train a little, the cats will urinate in the litter box. However, sometimes, we will be very annoyed to find that the cats urinate in places where they shouldn't be, which makes the indoors very unbearable. So in the face of this situation, we should not blame the cat immediately, but should understand the reason. Why do cats urinate? How to solve it?
Cats urinate outside the litter box may be due to health reasons or mental stress reasons, and these two situations are difficult to clearly distinguish. Generally speaking, cats may pee in abnormal places when they are unwell to get their owner's attention, or they may mark their own territory. The latter situation is mostly caused by certain mental stress, which is often prone to illness.
1. Sick urination
If your cat has been "convenient" in the litter box, but suddenly changes the location of urination, its behavior may be sick. When cats have difficulty urinating, some cats will choose to pee outside the litter box. Maybe it is thinking: Is the gravity of the earth in the cat litter box not big enough? Would it be better to change the place?
So, what kind of diseases can cause difficulty in urination? There are two main types. One is urinary tract infections, including urethritis and cystitis. Another type is more terrible, acute or chronic renal failure. Cats with these diseases usually squat in the toilet frequently but urinate very little. If your cat urinates everywhere and is accompanied by frequent urination symptoms, I hope you will take it to the pet hospital for examination and diagnosis and treatment in time. After the illness was cured, it turned into a good cat again.
2. Stress urination
Cats may undergo marker urination when they are stimulated by external stimulation. But there are also some irritations that can lead to non-marked urination. The difference between these two urination methods is that non-marked urination is the same as the usual posture of a cat in the toilet, with a semi-squat shape and the urine is on the ground. The pathological urination mentioned above is also non-mark urination. This is not only true for male cats, but also for female cats. Moreover, this non-marked urination caused by stimulation is generally accompanied by poop everywhere. What kind of stimulation can lead to non-marked urination?
1. There are too many cats at home.
Generally, families with more than five cats are likely to face the situation where cats do not enter the litter box.
Countermeasures: Appropriately increasing the number of cat litter box can help alleviate this situation. It is recommended that the number of cat litter boxes at home is the number of cat mouths. This is not very realistic for most families with a large number of cat mouths. Therefore, when such a situation occurs, 1-2 cat litter box can be added as appropriate.
2. I just don’t feel happy!
Cats are smart and difficult little things. Sometimes when you seriously violate its bottom line, it may retaliate by urinating or defecation.
Countermeasures: Review errors and make up for them in a timely manner.
3. Cats in the estrus period will like to urinate everywhere to divide the territory. Cats are seasonal animals with multiple estrus. Each estrus lasts about 3-10 days. During the estrus season, they develop estrus every one to two weeks, and are mostly concentrated in March, April, June and July. If it is a male cat, they will have recurring estrus, usually once a week, each time lasting seven to ten days. Male cats in heat will roll around the ground, twist their bodies, and make low howls. They will urinate all over the room, thus attracting other female cats. Note that when urinating male cats erect, they will stand up their tails high and shake quickly. Female cats usually have estrus once every two weeks, each time lasting about a week. Similarly, female cats in heat will urinate all over the ground, attracting male cats of the opposite sex with their smell.
Countermeasures: You should prepare a special cat toilet for your cat first, and you need to train it to develop good excretion habits from an early age. Since childhood, you have kept your pet cat away from the bed, so that it should not develop the habit of going to bed, and don’t pee on the bed casually. Once you find that the cat has the desire to go to bed, you must stop it as soon as possible. You can scold it loudly or you can grab it directly. If the cat is really constantly, then it is OK to use a water sprinkler to deal with it.
