Do you know the 5 reasons why cats 'urin randomly'?

Almost most cats have "random urine" behavior in the process of growing up.

And this kind of behavior is not only manifested in kittens, an adult cat or even an elderly cat will also have the performance of urination.

So, what exactly is a cat thinking when it's peeing?

Cats know it's wrong to pee, so why do they do it?

In this article, I will share with you the 5 main reasons why cats urinate.

First: the cat litter box is too dirty

There's no doubt about it: cats are obsessed with cleanliness.

Cats are very sensitive to the surrounding environment, to the litter box, and to the tools for eating and drinking.

Once the cat smells an odor that does not belong to him, or the litter box smells unpleasant, the shovel officer has not cleaned the cat litter box for too long.

At this time, the cat is reluctant to go to the litter box to defecate.

They move the bowels to a clean place to defecate.

Or the clothes and shoes of the shit shovel officer, or the sofa at home.

Generally speaking, the time for a shit shovel officer to change cat litter should not exceed 1 week; now that the weather is hot, it should not exceed 1 week.

Also, get into the habit of shoveling shit every day.

This is especially true for multi-cat households. Once you forget to shovel shit one day, the smell of collapse may be waiting for you.

Second: more cats, less cat litter box

In addition to the reason for the cat litter box itself, it is also related to the number of cats.

For example:

You have 5 cats, but you have 1 litter box for the cats; even though the litter box is large, they are still uncomfortable for the cats.

I have 3 cats, and I have 2 litter boxes at home, as well as a spare litter box.

When I go out for more than 3 days, I will take out 3-4 litter boxes.

And when I'm at home, I also prepare 2 litter boxes.

For a multi-cat family, it is best to prepare more than 2 cat litter boxes; if you have ten or eight cats, you must prepare at least 5-6 cat litter boxes.

So many cats, and too few litter boxes, can also cause cats to defecate everywhere.

After all, not every cat can get along well~

Third: The cat has a stress reaction and retaliates against the shit shoveling officer's psychology

Have you ever been retaliated by a cat?

Generally speaking, the most common way for cats to retaliate against the shoveling officer is to defecate everywhere.

If you hit the cat, the cat won't scratch you, won't scratch you, but will pee on your bed when you're not looking.

This is what cats are used to.

You know, the smell of cat defecation is really hard to get rid of.

Even if you wash it a few times and expose it to the sun, it will still smell like a cat's poop.

Therefore, when the cat is in a bad mood, has a stress response, or is taught by the shit shoveling officer, the cat may urinate randomly.

Fourth: fight for territory

for example:

You only had 1 cat at home, but you brought home another cat.

The sudden arrival of an unfamiliar cat will make aboriginal cats panic, and even have strong mood swings.

At this time, the aboriginal cats will defecate everywhere in order to demonstrate to the new cats.

The purpose of this is to fill the house with cat scents that will frighten new cats.

Therefore, when the shit shovel officer brings home a strange cat, he must be prepared to be rejected by your aboriginal cat~

Fifth: cats are not satisfied with the smell of cat litter

There are many types and smells of cat litter on the market today.

In order to make cat litter cover the smell of cat defecation, many poop shoveling officers will choose cat litter with various smells, such as: milk tea, lemon, mint, green tea and so on.

As everyone knows, some cats are very sensitive to smells.

They prefer plain cat litter to these odd-smelling cat litter.

If the shovel officer does not understand, it may cause the cat to urinate.

Raising a cat is a process that requires constant learning and reflection; when a feces shovel officer is raising a cat, he observes the cat's behavior and emotions more, and he can naturally analyze the cat's thoughts.
