Why the cat shits, anywhere: how to wean a cat from shitting

The main mistakes of the owners are to yell at the pet, spank him or poke his nose into the stool. Punishments will further upset the psyche of the animal. He should be reassured and convinced that everything is in order at home.

A few simple ways will help:

· Eliminate the threat that makes the cat feel insecure. You need to check if someone else’s cat has entered the house, put the tray in its original place (if it was moved), do not leave the animal alone for a long time.

· Isolate the cat for a while. To do this, you need to put him in a cage or small enclosed space. Put water, tray and favorite toys in the same place. To feed the cat, you need to release and give food in the usual place, and then isolate again. Usually a week is enough for the animal’s psyche to return to normal. This method is good if a second pet or a small child has appeared in the house.

· Use special pheromones that are sold in pet stores. The drug is applied to objects and the floor. The cat rubs its muzzle against them and after that stops marking.

The listed methods have been repeatedly tested and recommended by veterinarians. Doctors warn against treating the places of cat pranks with odorous substances – bleach, washing powder. This will not help; on the contrary, it will arouse strong anxiety in the animal.
