they used to use the litter box just fine and never had prob. but now the pee on rugs and poop here and there
nicely that's my unprofessional opinion that your cat is the two unwell with a urinary tract an infection- or very indignant. I had a cat for 17 yrs earlier she exceeded on and the single time in all those years she peed everywhere besides her clutter container became by way of fact she became unwell. they are in a position to't let us know what's incorrect vocally yet they are going to act diverse while something is incorrect. once you're taking her in to be spayed make specific they verify her for that. i don't be attentive to why absolutely everyone could pick to take heed to a girl cat circulate into warmth each and each month with all their howling and calling out for a mate. it style of feels cruel for her to might desire to circulate via this while there is not any reason, it is not mushy at involved approximately a girl cat at those instances. are you able to think of no Midol...LOL i detect it unhappy that some one has concern a pair of proceedure it is shown to saves cats lives and shown to sell a extra healthy longer existence. he's not the single getting in, she is. that's unhappy to be attentive to his kitty isn't worth of substantial wellbeing subject concerns by way of fact he's a hen little... i could think of two times earlier having babies ....... What in the event that they choose help and HES SCARED, back it is not even his wellbeing. Take care
Clean the rugs really really well and use a deodorizer on them. With my cat that started doing this I use oxyclean to clean it up and then zero odor to remove any lingering smells. Then, I had to make sure that the litter box was clean constantly! The 'rule' for cats and litter boxes is that have one litter box for each cat plus one. So, we have two cats, so we have three litter boxes. Keep them in different areas of the home. You can also try different litters, some have deodorizers in them and work better than others. Hope this helps!
If they used to use the litter box without any issues and then all of a sudden they decide to pee and poop on the carpet, then that should be a big warning bell to you. When cats who were good at using the litter box decide to do their business elsewhere, that should be a big warning sign that there could be something medically wrong with them. Cats by nature are very clean and should have no problems using the litter box, but when something medically becomes wrong with them, they will stop using their litter box because they think that what is wrong with them is something they got from their litter box. Take them to the veterinarian immediately. If they have nothing wrong with them, then you aren't cleaning their litter box as well as you used to. Cats do not like dirty litter boxes and will do their business elsewhere to let you know that their box needs to be cleaned. When you go to clean up the rugs, if they can be put in the washing machine, then do so. And as far as carpet cleaners, use a vegetable enzyme cleaner. Never use any products containing ammonia in it because to them, it smells the same as their urine and they will think that is their new place to use the restroom. If you have a steam cleaner, then use that as well. Use a black light and scan the area to see if it shows any spots. That will let you know if you have gotten all of the urine out of the carpet. Never let the urine stay their too long or the smell will soak into the carpet and then the only solution to get rid of it is to replace your entire flooring which is of course no fun, and very expensive.
Unless you can get the odors completely out of the rugs, they will never stop. They will pee poo where they smell it. And just because you can't smell it in the rugs, doesn't mean they can't. Their sense of smell is much stronger than yours.
when my cat started doing that, my pet sitter who is also an animal behavior trainer, she told me to put her in a kennel (sounds cruel but it works) with just her litter box, food and water dish, then enough room to lay down... and keep her in there for 3 days, she will not pee/poo where she eats or sleeps, so she will be back to using the litter box after that little intervention
