Solutions for cat scratching
Scratching posts Owners often place the cat scratching post where they would like it to live, usually in the corner, perhaps in a room they don't even use. Guess what - your cat doesn't use the scratching post! You need to place the scratching post where your cat likes to scratch. This will often be where your cat enters the room, where guests sit or where belongings are placed when you arrive home. This is where unusual scents have gathered and your cat scratches near them to cover this scent with their own. Close doors If you have precious areas of your home or pieces of furniture that you do not wish your cat to scratch and you cannot be there to supervise your cat, close the door. Tips for scratching post use 1. Take your cat to their scratching post at times they are likely to need to scratch - on waking, after a meal, after a play session or every hour or so. 2. Wait for your cat to use the post and reward them with your attention "Good cat!" or a treat when they do. You can place treats on the post to encourage them to go there when you are absent. 3. Some owners like to place their cat's paws on the scratching post. This needs to be done very gently. Most of all, be patient! |
Causes of toileting issues
Feline inappropriate elimination
There are many reasons why cats that are normally clean will begin to toilet inappropriately. Cat toileting issues may be simply mistakes, some have an underlying medical cause and others are purely behavioural. Sometimes the cat does not have a problem but the owner does. Here are common causes of cat toileting problems:
Illness
Common physiological causes of feline toileting issues include:
The size and location of the tray or litter box, the type of litter, the no. of trays available and the cleanliness of the tray can make a huge difference to some cats. Others do not care.
Anxiety
A change of household routine, another cat in the vicinity, loud noises and a whole host of other things can make cats anxious. One way to relieve anxiety is to put their scent around them by urinating or spraying.

Solutions for toileting issues
Understand the causeOnce you have worked out the cause of your cat's inappropriate urination, defecation or spraying, here are some common solutions...
Vet check
Have your cat checked by your vet. It is essential that physiological causes be treated or ruled out, prior to starting any behavioural therapy. If you see your cat straining to toilet, toileting often or passing blood in their urine or faeces, please get your cat to the vet as soon as possible.
Litter box analysis
Examine your litter box thoroughly! Not just the waste contents but also the style and position of the tray and the type of litter used. Changing litter trays, litter or the position of the box may be a simple solution to your issue. Keep food and litter separate.
Stress relief
Relocating your cat to a different area of your home may prevent their anxiety levels rising. For example, if your cat reacts to people entering your property, place them where they cannot encounter people.
Calming agents such as lavender, Feliway (cat appeasing pheromone) and veterinary medication may provide relief for your cat's anxieties. Ask your vet.
