If you have a cat, then you may have come across the problem of your cat not always using the litter box. Sometimes this can happen when you have several cats, or bring a new cat or kitten into the house.
If you are bringing a new cat or kitten into the house, make sure that the new cat knows where the litter box is, and isn’t being bullied by any other cats.
Also some cats are very picky about their litter box, and if it gets too dirty, they don’t want to go in it. Make sure that you keep your cat’s litter box fairly clean.
Sometimes a cat can go a long time using the box, and then develop a problem and quit using it. Try moving the box along with the cat to a small room, and isolate your cat there so you can keep an eye on him or her. If your cat still is having problems with the litter box and not using it, you may consider taking your cat to the vet to rule out any physical problems.
Sometimes a cat can get urinary tract infections, or F.U.S. (Feline Urological Syndrome), and this may cause a cat to not use their litter box. It is a good idea to get these ruled out. Usually, if a cat has no physical problems, and isn’t being bullied by other cats, they will use the litter box without any trouble.
