What is the reason why the cat suddenly poops on the ground?

1. Cats defecating on the ground belong to disorderly defecation and urinating, which may be caused by multiple reasons. Be sure to get rid of the bad habits before the cat completely develops them.

2. The main reasons why cats urinate indiscriminately include:

(1) The cat is in estrus.

For male cats that have not been neutered for more than 6 months, the first factor to consider is that estrus has arrived.

Male cats will spray urine as a mark during estrus, and generally choose to spray it on vertical surfaces such as walls, wardrobes and chairs. The smell of urine will be much heavier than that of normal urine, so as to divide territory and attract spouses.

(2) The dustbin is not clean enough

As a diligent shovel officer, you must ensure that you shovel excrement every day and replenish clean cat litter. If the litter box is too dirty, the cat will feel unsafe and there is no way to bury the poop. At this time, the cat may choose places that it thinks are safe and clean, such as sofas and beds.

(3) The size of the litter box is not appropriate.

Beginners should pay special attention. No matter how small cats are now, they should prepare a large enough litter box.

Cats are insecure animals, so it is better to have a bigger litter box for cats to come in and out. Not too small or too shallow, and not too complicated. It is the most common big cat litter box.

(4) Cats have a negative experience with litter boxes.

For introverted cats, litter boxes are not suitable for busy places, and quiet places are more suitable for cats to excrete. For example, when a cat goes to the toilet, it is suddenly frightened by a loud noise, and may think that this toilet is unsafe. In addition, when the cat goes to the toilet, it is best not to look, it may be nervous.

(5) Cats have emotional problems.

When a cat is frightened or scolded by its owner, it may have a stress reaction. Stress reaction may cause cats to become more timid, like to hide under the bed or high places, and at the same time, there will be problems such as excretion outside the litter box.

For example, cats don't like bathing. For timid cats, they even reject the sound of water and hair dryers. If the shovel officer forces the cat to take a bath and blow, the cat is prone to stress reaction and disorderly excretion.

(6) Physical factors of cats

If the above five factors are excluded, the health problems of cats should be considered.

If we rule out the estrus of cats, and cats are always smart, it is recommended to take cats to see a doctor. Cats who always make good use of litter boxes suddenly urinate indiscriminately, which may also be caused by diseases such as urinary tract infection, cat interstitial cystitis and kidney calculi.

3. Solve the problem of cats urinating indiscriminately.

(1) disinfection

For male cats, it is recommended to take them for sterilization at 6-8 months to prevent estrus (urine sickness) after sterilization. Novice shovel officials should objectively look at the problem of cat sterilization, which is not inhuman, but sterilization can better ensure the health of cats.

(2) dispel the enthusiasm of cats to urinate indiscriminately.

For cats who urinate many times, the shovel officer can make the area where cats often urinate annoying to cats. For example, after cleaning and disinfecting knitwear such as carpets and sheets, spray some smells that cats hate (lemon, orange peel, etc.). ). You can also put some double-sided tape on the place where cats often pee.

(3) Pay attention to the size and placement of the litter box.

The litter box should be placed in a quiet place where cats can easily get in and out. If the cat has been excreting in the same place, you can also put the litter box in that area.

4. Therefore, when the cat has the behavior of defecating anywhere, don't punish the cat blindly, but first understand the behavior and health status of the cat.

Some owners may force cats to be put in litter boxes or put them in separate rooms. These methods are not only extreme, but also almost useless. In addition, the owner should not think that the cat urinates indiscriminately is revenge. Animals are far less intelligent and emotional than humans, and many so-called revenge is just a stress reaction. For animals with low sense of security, such as cats, owners will spend more time and patience to get to know them, and will gain warm companionship.
