Question

why is my 6 month kitten weeing on beds litterbox is clean and also did a poo as well this morning on a different bed when she usually does that outside uses litter tray as well also weed on leather sofa twice please help me resolve this problem now confined her to kitchen

Answer 1

if this is happening, its your job as tetious as it sounds to make a point of showing the kitten where the litter box is. The kitten may not egt it the first time but if you keep up with it, the kitten will find the liter box on its own soon enough.

Answer 2

Do you live in quite a large home? If so the kitten may be finding it hard to find the litter tray or a way outside. when cleaning up the mess only use a non-bio washing powder/liquid diluted in water if you use other cleaning products they may contain ammonia which can attract the cat back to that place and reinforce the smell of urine rather then removing it. Also try laying a black bag over the beds this will stop the cat from going on the bed failing this just close the bedroom doors and don't let the cat into the bedrooms.

Answer 3

You may need to start training all over again...you say you already confined her to the kitchen, that's a good start....keep her litter clean...once you see her consistently using the litter in one room, give her a little larger space.
You need to rule out any bladder infections. It could be part of the problem. Putting the cat's face in her own urine or feces will do no good, it will just scare her. It's going to take patience. My daughter has been having this problem with her cat and it's been a slow process, but it is improving. Good luck

Answer 4

Perhaps she needs a little training. Try this: when she does that, take a little bit of the poo and make her smell it with just a bit of roughness (don't hurt her, but make sure she knows you are upset), take both to the litterbox and do it again, then deposit the poo there. Do the same with the wee (it may be more difficult).

Insist on this until she learns that weeing on places other than the litterbox upsets you. It should happen soon IF you are persistent (do it ALWAYS).

Answer 5

Maybe you should put one of her poos in the litter box. I think that maybe she isn't associating the litter box as her loo. If she has been using her loo just fine, she's upset about something. Do you have any other animals or any small children around? Cats are very jealous & EXTREMELY territorial. Has she had a recent Vet visit? She could be paying you back for any recent shots! Did I mention cats are very much into revenge?

Answer 6

hi Bree! ok, so the substantial reasons cats pee on beds are with the aid of fact they the two are not clutter knowledgeable or are nevertheless getting used to their ecosystem and are somewhat scared. How long have you ever had the kitten? You reported you're taking her on your bf's abode in some cases so i bypass to assume you have had her for greater desirable than a month. It must be clutter guidance! in some cases a cat could properly be totally clutter knowledgeable and then flow to a sparkling place and it could throw each and every thing out of whack. i understand, it particularly is surpassed off to me earlier. next time it happens, place her interior the clutter field. Use her paws to dig somewhat interior the clutter. in case you nevertheless try this while she wets the mattress then she will at last get the belief to apply the clutter field! A smack does no longer harm the two in case you seize her interior the act of peeing someplace else. you ought to purchase a product from some puppy shops, it particularly is nearly a dirt or grainy product. you place it places you do no longer prefer your cat to bypass. in case you place it around the door procedures of your bedrooms (and porch out the front) with a bit of luck this could help additionally. additionally you ought to take her to the vet to boot! maximum usually they could have a better perception into your pets recommendations, and might help rule out scientific matters. wish i've got helped and good success! :)

Answer 7

take it to a vet to check that it doesn't have an infection. It can also be caused by stress. Has anything changed in the home recently?
Clean the area with biological washing powder and water. The biological stuff has enzymes in to neutralise the smell. The non bio stuff won't work.

Answer 8

Young kittens are much like young children. Behaviour problems are the most difficult to deal with (once you have ruled out medical issues such as a urinary tract infection).

Animals, and in particular cats, need a certain amount of routine in their lives to feel secure and they can recat dramatically to changes in their environment.

I think the best solution would be to take it to the vet and discuss the various options. Once they have ruled out any medical issues, they may refer you to a animal behvaiour expert. Alternatively, if you are looking for the quick fix, something like a DAP or Feliway diffuser may help.

Answer 9

In my experience with cats, when they change their "litter habits" and their pan is clean, it usually signals there is another problem. It is it's way of getting your attention. Is it happy with the food your feeding it? Does it have a flea problem? Did you change the amount of time you spend with it? Just a few suggestions. do more research to detect the problem. Does it seem well?

Answer 10

Could be a number of things
Cats dont like change, so if thier enviroment has changed they do it as a protest. ie if you got a second cat or had a baby or any change to the house.
Also may just be marking its territory.
Its own litter tray being dirty.
