I am certainly sympathetic to anyone who has a problem with their cat peeing on the carpet, the furniture, or anywhere else that's not the litter box.
It's a nauseating stench, and it lasts a very long time.
It is important, however, that we don't try to punish our cats for this behavior.
This article is about to explain why...
There are reasons why cats pee on the carpet that are totally out of their control.
The reasons range from their litter box, a sudden change in environment, threatening situations, and even illness.
The first thing you'll want to do if you've got cat peeing on carpet problems is to take a trip to the vet.
Here are 5 things to watch for to determine what the real problem is: 1.
Urinary tract infection.
Your vet can diagnose this pretty easily.
If you can't afford a trip to the vet, you can pick up an inexpensive natural urinary tract supplement designed specially for cats.
2.
Dirty litter box.
If the walls of the litter box are dirty, there could be some powerful ammonia fumes that are turning your cat away.
Be sure to thoroughly wash the litter box to remove this ammonia.
This step alone could solve your problem.
3.
Rough or dusty litter.
Perhaps the litter itself is too rough for your kitty's paws, or it is simply too dusty.
You may need to spend a few extra dollars on litter that is free from these problems.
4.
Another pet, child, or adult who is abusive toward your cat.
Look around the house at any stressors that may be driving your cat crazy.
5.
Kitty misses you! Has your work schedule changed? Are you away from the house more frequently or for longer stretches of time.
Cats will often leave little "presents" for their owners if they are feeling neglected.
