Negative Litter Box Association In Cats



If a cat that keeps on using the litter box suddenly starts to do his business somewhere else, there could be something wrong. Taking steps to find out what could be causing your pet’s behavior can help nip the problem in the bud before it can become a deeply ingrained.

One common reason is a bad experience that the cat may have been through while using the litter box. The cat may appear hesitant to use the box, entering it but then leaving quickly. Sometimes, the cat may leave before doing his thing.

Painful elimination is a common cause of negative litter box association. Certain medical issues can cause pain during elimination. Unfortunately, the cat may associate the pain with using the litter box. Even if the cat has already recovered from the illness, this negative association may still cause litter box avoidance.

A visit to your veterinary clinic Scottsdale, AZ can help identify what is causing your pet’s negative behavior.
