Using FRONTLINE ® Spray every 3 weeks will help protect your cat from paralysis ticks. 1 When your cat all of a sudden stops using the litter tray and making messes in the house it can leave you frustrated and quite understandably annoyed. The following are some common reasons as to why they may have started going elsewhere and not using their litter tray. Dirty Litter - If the litter is dirty, wet or soiled, some cats won't like it. Try and keep the litter as clean as possible by removing any clumps, wetness or faeces at least every two days. Alternatively you could try a self cleaning litter tray like the Scoop Free Self Cleaning Litter Box. Smell of the Litter - Sometimes the smell of the cat litter can be offensive and the cat may not like it. It could be due to a perfume or scent in the litter itself or a cleaning/disinfectant that was used to clean the tray. Different Litter - Changing the brand or type of cat litter used is often cause for cats to stop using the tray as they are not familiar with it, unsure if they are meant to use it, or they just don't like it. If you do want to change the type of litter used, you should introduce it gradually by mixing the new litter with the old litter, gradually increasing the new litter each time. Location of Tray - Cats generally like a quiet and private spot for their tray. Try positioning the tray to a new, quiet and private position. Bad Experience - Sometimes the cat may have experienced something that frightened them while using the tray and they may not be comfortable enough to go back. Try moving the tray to a new quiet location. Training Accidents - Training a cat or kitten to use the litter tray can sometimes take time and accidents occur. Often the best way to train them is to lock the cat in a room with the litter tray so they do not have to travel far to use it and therefore getting an understanding that thats what they are meant to do.
