• Suggestions about a cat's bad pissing habits

    From Flavio Bessa@4:80/1 to All on Wed Apr 13 19:21:06 2022
    Hello,

    One of my cats developed the bad habit of pissing always at the same place and away from the sandbox: At the corridor.

    Any hints on how to overcome this?

    ... "I am" is the shortest sentence in English. Is 'I do' the longest?

    Hi Flavio!

    One of my cats developed the bad habit of pissing always at the same place and
    away from the sandbox: At the corridor.

    Any hints on how to overcome this?

    The best way I have found with my two cats is to keep their cat box clean (both kitties have their own box). Neither one of my stinkers will touch their cat boxes if there is _any_ poop or pee clumps in the box... Also make sure you clean the place where the kitty has been going, whether it's a rug or floor, or whatever. They find the area where they've been going with their
    'sniffer' (nose) :)
    Hope this helps,
    Janis


    ... "I am" is the shortest sentence in English. Is 'I do' the longest?

    Put a sandbox in this place. It must always be clean.

    Have nice nights.

    Yeah, I clean their litterboxes daily as well. In that case I believe it
    is a habit from young age, as she came to my place at the beggining of
    the pandemic while a pup.

    I am just getting tired of washing the corridor every day ;)

    Teach your cat the coolest trick in the book-literally! Toilet
    Train Your Cat, Plain and Simple is your guide to getting rid
    of the litter box and learning to share the throne with Queen
    Mittens. Author Clifford Brooks has successfully trained all of
    his cats to use the toilet and wants to share his tips with
    you. This book will help you do just that with features such
    as:

    [] Step-by-step instructions on gradually training your cat to
    use a toilet

    [] Helpful tips from an experienced cat owner

    [] Clever, sophisticated illustrations

    Unlike other kitty-training manuals with far-fetched promises,
    Brooks takes a realistic approach, advising readers to have
    patience and suggesting useful items to purchase or have on
    hand throughout the training process. His humorous tone makes
    this guide as fun to read as its end results are rewarding. Cat
    owners everywhere should read this book. Just imagine: you'll
    never scoop poop again.

    ====================(2):

    Goodbye, litter box! Hello, toilet!

    Now there's a better way. Using Paul Kunkel's foolproof 21-day
    program you can break the litter box habit and teach your cat
    the clean, healthy alternative of using the toilet.

    Toilet training isn't just for your convenience. Many cats
    equate the smell of a litter box with danger, causing stress,
    and the fragrances, dyes, and disinfectants found in most
    litter are detrimental to your pet's well-being. So yes, it's
    true: A toilet-trained cat is a happier, healthier cat.

    The requirements are simple: Magazines or newspapers. Masking
    tape and heavy-duty plastic wrap. One last bag of litter. And a
    litter-trained cat between the ages of six months and ten years
    (you can teach an older cat new tricks, but it may take
    longer). Then, 21 days later, the transition from box to toilet
    will be complete, and your cat will be the newest toilet-
    trained member of your family. Really.

    Hehe had to try!

    BTW, my cat was stinky to my dog last night. He tried to cough up a furball *on* him in his bed (he was in it).

    Gentle Jack (overweight beagle at 40lbs) got up and sat on Luko (ragdoll cat, overweight at 14lbs).

    I bet Luko learned Jack may be gentle but don't push it....

    I love my neighbour's cat, he keeps my garden pidgeon-free ...

    Cats usually run from me, thatone lifts his head with a look of "Wazza goin' bro?"

    I told my kids they will know I'm done doing things once they'll see I have a cat...that will be my last revolutionary act.
