Every pet owner may encounter a situation when a furry friend does not use the litter box, but tries to look for other places to go to the toilet.

In this case, it is worth taking action immediately, since such behavior is unacceptable. Therefore, it is worth figuring out how to treat the place where the cat shits in the house.

Why is this happening?

It is important to understand that cats are smart animals, so if such deviations in behavior are present, it is always worth being rational. Failure to comply with the rules for using the litter box can be caused by:

  1. Stress.
  2. Problems with the body.
  3. Incorrect placement of the tray.
  4. Incorrect choice of filler.

First of all, you need to understand why the cat chooses a different place to go to the toilet.

Where to start

Some people immediately try to use various means for processing, completely forgetting about rationality. The first thing to do is to wash this place, using chemicals. It is important to get rid of all urine odors.

If you do not do this, the cat will continue to ignore its tray. It should be remembered that the smell of urine is very persistent, so it is important to thoroughly treat the surface. You can start processing only after complete disinfection.

What can be used for processing?

Ideal for processing are products based on:

  1. Citrus.
  2. Mint.
  3. Ammonia.
  4. Lavender.
  5. Garlic.

To enhance the effect, you can use essential oils based on these aromas; they have a strong and persistent smell, which will allow you to achieve the desired effect.

You can also find products designed for such purposes in specialized stores.

The main thing is to act immediately and keep your cat's litter box clean. If you don't do this, he will continue to go to the toilet where it is unacceptable.
