my 4 month old cat will go to her litter tray….dig….crouch down to wee/poo…and wait for a while and stand up sniff…and dig to cover it up…but she hasnt done anything….why does she do this?
I have two cats and Im concerned about toxoplasmosis. I cant get anyone else to empty the litter tray but when I change the litter every 2-3 days I do wear gloves and wash hands afterwards. I empty any solids as soon as I notice them and again wear gloves for this and wash hands afterwards. Do you think this should be ok? has anyone out there had to do the same?
thanks
My cat has had a litter of 4 kittens. The kittens live upstairs in my sons’ bedroom but the cat litter box is downstairs in a bathroom with the door closed because it smells to badly despite me regularly cleaning it. I can’t put it upstairs with my sons for hygeine and because of the smell (my children are very young). How can I stop it from smelling, and also should I think about putting all the kittens in the downstairs bathroom in a box with warm blankets etc. so Mum can show the kittens how to use the tray. (My cat is being spayed once kittens have gone – which I’m dreading cos they’re adorable!).
We have two cats and untill now have just kept the litter tray clean by scooping the doo-daa’s out into supermarket bags and then binning them.
Obviously this is not the way forward , so could anyone please suggest a realistic way to deal with the waste?
Would the best idea be biodegradable bags?
We also currently use plastic bags for daily kitchen waste which has also got to stop.
How do you deal with dailly waste?
The daily household waste has to be in individual bags before it goes in the wheely bin otherwise it will ming.
Sorry but I worry about the people who collect the waste at any expense.
I’d appreciate any practical solutions, and please no knitting tank-tops out of cat poo solutions.
Thank you.
Sorry should have mentioned that they are house cats.And although they like the garden, we have enough buried treasure from our neighbours cats.
i have a bedroom with a bathroom and in the bathroom i have a cat litter tray.
my mum says every night to leave my door open to let the cats take a ShIt
yet i want my door closed and the tray out;
-it smells
-the cats piss in my room
-my mum flushes the shit down my toilet n it comes back to haunt me later on in the day
i have tried arguing but she wont listen
can ne 1 give some suggestions on some help?
Does anyone know why my 7 year old siamese cat runs around the house like its mad when it has used its litter tray? She has always done it since I got her 3 years ago but not everytime she goes.
i NEED an alternative to a litter tray for my cat, the kitchen and bathroom of the house we’ve moved to are too cramped for the tray and it makes a huge mess in any other room.
she doesnt have a cat flap and getting one put in is not an option, we rent and landlord says no. she goes out and we have a big garden but obviously we’ve got to be around to let her in/out.
i know some people train their cats to go on the actual toilet, how hard is this to do (she’s 4 months), from somebody that has a toilet trained cat?
any other idea/options welcome…. thanks..
i didnt say it wouldnt fit, there isnt a convinient area for it to sit in, its in the way.
thanks for the helpful comment, how small is your brain.
