[SPAM] RE: Help! Cat won't use litter box.

Just a thought, being many years since I owned a cat.

Would a sprinkling of catnip in the litter tray help bring kitty back to the

tray?

One of our females started this after we had her spayed. One theory is that

the cat associates the litter with pain, after surgery, and so refuses to

use the box, since urinating hurts after the surgery. I'm skeptical on that

one, but since our cat used the box before the surgery, anything's possible.

 

 

There is a spray the vet can give you (expensive), but it didn't work with

our cat.

 

Nothing ever worked.

 

My son has a female that does the same thing. He has gone the same route --

vet visits, sprays, different litter, different box, plenty of boxes, it

never made a bit of difference.

 

I have no explanation and no help, other than to let you know that it

probably isn't anything you're doing wrong -- it's the cat!

Does anyone have any suggestions. We have 3 litter boxes, one on the

second floor and two on the first floor.

I came across an interesting one on an inventors show that deals with the

problem of cats liking it to be clean (doggies too) and someone had made a

litter tray that has a lid on it. When the business is done the pet or yourself

can then use the flush button (and it was shown that the animals can easily be

trained to do this especially when they realise it gives them a clean toilet).

Once the deed is done and the button pushed the litter is sifted and strained

and then washed, sterilised and sanitized leaving perfectly clean litter tray.

The other benefit of this is that no longer do you have to go and get litter

every few days as you can re-use the old litter stuff over and over again.

 

perhaps a google on automatic litter tray washing or somesuch will turn up the

links.

I had the very same issue with one of my female cats. Come to find out she

insisted on her litter box being immaculately clean at all times - whew....

so, I purchased a super clumping cat litter made in Canada and I can easily

keep the litter clean at least every day. What we don't do for our

pets......... Now, this means, of course, that you have had her checked at

the vets to

eliminate the fact that there's nothing wrong with her physically.. Good

Luck, it can certainly be frustrating..... Evie M.
