Is Your Cat using your House as a Litter Box?
Urinating outside the litter box is one of top reasons cats get surrendered to shelters or euthanized. It is a fact that a cat’s urine smell is quite offensive. But it is unfortunate that owners surrender their cats when something can be done about it. First is gaining an understanding of why cats may suddenly develop this problem. Many cats develop this behavior as a stress response to change (new baby, pet, home, or schedule), while others will develop them seemingly out of the blue. The success of managing these behaviors depends on the family’s commitment to modification.
