Some cats have a habit of peeing on the carpet that is uncomfortable for the owner. The smell of cat urine is difficult to smell and can often spread throughout the home. It can also be difficult to wash cat urine off the carpet and any fibers, causing bad odors to stay in the house. Also, this problem is even more difficult to overcome when cats have a habit of continuing to pee in places where their urine already smells. There are many reasons for cats to pee outside of their litter box, including problems with the urinary tract and bladder, problems with sand in use, or conflicts with other animals. Read below to learn how to prevent cats from urinating on the carpet.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Prevent cat from urinating on carpet

1. 

   
   
   Take the cat to see the vet. Medical problems like urinary tract infections can cause your cat to pee on the carpet instead of in the litter box. Before taking any interventions, you should bring your cat to the veterinarian to treat the possible cause of this behavior. It is very important to have a cat's health checked right away to protect its health, and to prevent prolonged aversion to the cat litter.
   • Long sitting, bloody urine, frequent urination and meowing during pee are all signs that your cat has a cyst infection or urinary tract or other infection. These health problems can keep them away from sanitary sand trays. They also indicate that a urinary obstruction can be life-threatening. Only a veterinarian can tell this difference, so you have to bring your cat to see them.

2. 

   
   
   Clean your cat's pee with an enzyme cleaner. Clean the position of the cat pee as soon as it happens to prevent the cat from using the urinal. Use enzyme cleaners instead of ammonia based cleaners. Ammonia-based detergents may cause your cat to urinate more in that position because it thinks the ammonia smell is that of another cat's urine, and it has to be filled with her urine.
   • Consider hiring a carpet cleaning service if the stain is too heavy.
   • Some foot mats cannot be cleaned if the stain is not treated immediately. Throw away the carpet that has been peeded by the cat several times.

3. 

   
   
   Place the litter tray on the carpet where the cat likes to pee. When your cat begins to poop on a litter box or floor mat, place the litter tray in that position to encourage her to use the litter tray. After the cat has peeed in the tray for a month, move the tray 3 cm each day until it has moved to the desired position.

4. 

   Turn over a walkway carpet or floor mat. It is possible that your cat has developed a habit of peeing on a particular mat. At that time, you should turn the mat face up so that it will hesitate to urinate because the roughness of the carpet has changed. Try turning your pedicure and carpeting over for a few days to see if this can prevent your cat from peeing on it.

5. 

   Place the double-sided tape on the edge of the carpet. The double-sided tape makes your cat afraid to urinate because of the sticky, sticky feeling the tape causes on the cat's paw pads. Try applying double-sided tape to the edges of the carpet as well as where your cat likes to pee.

6. 

   Play with your cat around its litter box. The cat pee on the carpet probably because he has an aversion to the litter box. You can get around this problem by playing around with it around the sand tray. Try playing with the cat a few times a day about 1 meter from the sand tray position to give it a positive feeling with the litter box.
   • Don't reward your cat every time he uses a litter box. Cats don't like being disturbed while using the litter box.
   • Rewards and toys can be placed near its sand tray, but food and drinks should not be placed near the tray. Cats don't like to eat too close to where they go to the bathroom.

7. 

   Talk to your veterinarian again if the problem does not improve. Encouraging your cat to use the litter box takes time and effort, but not always. Some veterinarians have gone through special training to help you cope with problems such as your cat peeing out of the litter box. If your cat doesn't change this habit, talk to an animal behavior specialist or a veterinarian who specializes in animal behavior. advertisement

Method 2 of 3: Know the common sanitary sand tray problems

1. 

   How often do you clean the sand tray. Cats don't use a dirty litter tray, so they will start defecating elsewhere if the tray is dirty. If you don't clean the litter box every day, this may be the reason your cat pee on the carpet.
   • In addition to changing the sand from the tray every day, once a week you should remove the sand from the tray, and clean it with water and unscented soap or baking soda.Once done, dry the tray and replace the sand with a new one.
   • Use self-cleaning sand tray to make cleaning sand tray easier.

2. 

   Make sure there are enough sand trays in the house. You should have an extra sand tray for the number of cats in the house. For example, if you have three cats, buy four litter boxes. If you only have 2 litter boxes and 3 cats, then the lack of a litter tray could be the reason your cat pee on the carpet.

3. 

   Determine if your cat has easy access to the tray. If your cat has to go long distances to get to the litter tray, or if the tray itself makes it difficult for the cat to step in and out, that may be why he peeed on the carpet. Place the litter tray in a place where your cat can easily access it when she needs to poop, such as one upstairs and one downstairs.
   • Make sure your cat can see approaching people or animals and can easily escape. They don't like being cornered.
   • If your cat is old, pay attention to its needs by using a low-banked sand tray to allow it to enter and enter easily.
   • Place the litter box near or on the carpet where your cat normally pee.

4. 

   Determine if the sand you use is the cause of the problem. Cats can avoid using the litter box because they don't like the smell or the roughness of the sand, or because the sand is too thick. Shallow sand with fine to medium grains of sand is best, but you can also use other types of sand to see which one it likes.
   • Let your cat choose a litter of litter by placing two litter boxes of different litter together. At the end of the day, check which tray it uses.
   • Let the sand be shallow. Cats often like to go to the toilet in a layer of sand 2.5-5cm thick.

5. 

   Evaluate if the litter box is bothering your cat. Some cats avoid using the litter tray because they don't like the size or shape of the litter tray. Contouring can also be uncomfortable for your cat and prevent her from using the sand tray. Remove the edge and dome of the tray to determine if that is the cause of your cat not pooping in the tray.
   • You should also consider the size of the sand tray. Your cat may not use the litter tray if it is too small.

Method 3 of 3: Look at your cat's health and behavior issues

1. 

   Evaluate whether stress is the cause of your cat's urination on the carpet. Other pets, children or a noisy environment can all stress the cat and avoid using the litter box. So make sure to place the sand tray in a quiet, dark, half-light, dark place. If you put the sand tray in a place with lots of traffic or noise, it will be afraid to use it.
   • Try using the fragrance Feliway Diffuser to help your cat relax. Cats love the scent of this product.

2. 

   Examine your cat's current and past health conditions. Your cat's medical history may explain her refusal to use litter boxes. If you suspect your cat is sick, get it to the vet as soon as possible. Early treatment can eliminate the problem of pooping out of the litter box and keep your cat from pain and discomfort. Urinary tract infections and interstitial cystitis are common diseases that can cause cats to urinate on the carpet.
   • A urinary tract infection can keep your cat from using the litter box, even after the illness is gone. It still associates the tray with pain so it should be avoided.
   • Interstitial cystitis is another common cause of cat aversion to the litter box. Cats with interstitial cystitis may urinate on the carpet because they have a need to urinate more often.
   • Kidney stones and urinary obstruction also cause an aversion to the sand tray. Your cat will meow or screech while defecating in the litter box, and the fear of pain persists after the illness has been treated.
   • Remember that early treatment is essential for your cat not to develop a prolonged aversion to the litter box.

3. 

   Find out if urine stains are the cause of your cat not using the litter tray. Cats often spray a little urine on furniture or surfaces to mark their territory. This amount of urine is much less than when they urinate. If your cat does this, there are several ways in this article that will help, but there are other things you need to do to prevent your cat from leaving urine stains.
   • Leaving urine stains is most common in male cats that are not castrated, but female cats that are not spayed do this too, so it's important to castrate or remove your cat's ovaries.
   • Urine markers are also common in families with more than ten cats, so keep below this number to avoid the problem.

Advice

• If the kitten pee on the carpet, find out if it is being threatened by older cats or other animals. Also make sure it knows its way to the tray and can easily get in and out.
• If you have a lot of cats and don't know which one is peeing on the floor, you can ask your veterinarian about fluorescein use to find the culprit. All urine stains shine in the dark. Fluorescein gives urine a prominent color, so if you have a lot of cats, you can double-check to find the culprit.
• Always wear gloves when working with the sand tray and when changing the sand. Wash your hands with soap and water after you are done.
• Consider installing a dedicated cat door if you keep your cat indoors and outdoors. These doors make it easier for the cat to go out if he wants to poop outside.

Warning

• Never use ammonia or vinegar to wash carpet that is contaminated with cat urine. The smell of these products is similar to that of cat urine, so the cat will continue to pee in it.
• Do not use a strong scented litter if your cat is peeing on the floor. Many cats hate strong smells and like odorless sand.
• Do not suddenly change the sanitary cassette tray condition or tray placement. For example, change the type of sand used by slowly mixing new sand with old sand. If you need to change the position of the sand tray, keep one in its old position and one in the new position until it uses the new tray regularly.
• Do not put the cat's nose in the urine, do not pick it up and place it in the sand tray, or keep it in a small room. These measures will not solve the problem, but may also cause your cat to have a greater aversion to litter trays.
