hi I'm Kari cats are very clean and
usually keep all their toileting to the
litter tray or garden so it might
concern you if your cat starts praying
or soiling in the house an older cat
might not like bad weather or might not
be able to use the cat flap anymore
because of their joints fear is
something outside like a neighborhood
dog another cat or traffic sometimes
cats mark their territory when their
owners are away and leave a stranger to
care for them they usually do the deed
on something that smells strongly of
their owners like a duvet litter trays
being too dirty to clean containing the
wrong type of litter or being in an area
that's too loud or busy can all have an
effect on your cat a new cat in the
house can cause distress and
redecorating and building works changes
the smile in your household and the
noise can cause your cat to feel
unsettled both genders of cats spray and
it's usually done outside as part of
their scent communication but spraying
inside can happen when your cat feels
insecure about something while it may be
frustrating for you remember that
telling your cat off will only stress
them out more and will make the problem
worse

locking your cat flap and letting your
cat in or out yourself will mean no
strange cats can get into your home
which will make them feel more secure
preventing conflict between resident
cats is extremely important providing
them with high perches like shelves or
cat activity centers and multiple litter
trays and food and water bowls will help
them feel more comfortable sharing their
space
remember cats don't like sharing
resources keep your cat out of areas
being redecorated until the new
furniture and paints Mouse have settled
down use Feliway diffuser zaw sprays to
help settle feelings of insecurity
we also recommend taking a soft cotton
cloth and rubbing it gently around your
cat's face to collect sense then dab the
cloth in the area they are spraying if
your cat is still spraying or toileting
after following these tips
we recommend speaking with your vet or
an ABT see qualified behaviorist who
will be able to give you specialist
