Urinating outside of the litter box (inappropriate elimination) is the most common behavioral problem in cats.  You as owners should make an effort to learn about proper litter box care, types of boxes and types of litter, and work to ensure their cats have what they need to be happy and use the litter box appropriately.

Below are the commons litter box tips, this is important to providing good litter box care to keep their cats happy:

1. Many things can cause a cat not to use the litterbox. The trick is to supply the right litter, and place the litterbox in the right location that’s most attractive to your cat. Try to reduce changes when something is working. There are many types of litter in the market, such as clay litter, crystal or silica gel litter, pine wood base litter, and recycle type litter.

2. There are many styles (look and sizes) of litter boxes. Choose a large box that is deep and clear, if possible. Large, clear storage boxes make good litter boxes. You can cut an opening in one side to function as the door. Many cats don’t like hooded litter boxes as they like to see what is going on around them when they “go”. This makes them feel safer and less vulnerable to outside threats. Cats like privacy.
3. Use a large uncovered litter box in a low-traffic area. The litter box area should be located where your cat feels safe. Make sure there are no interruptions to your cat’s elimination times (by people, loud noises, kids or other pets). This means the box should be in a clean, dry area away from loud furnaces, laundry rooms, dogs and kids.

4. You should use litter that your cat likes and stick with it. There are many types of litter. The most commonly used is the unscented scoop able. Don’t change brands because something is on sale! Cats can be very fussy.
5. If you have multiple cats in your house, you must have more than one litter box. Please do not think about “sharing is caring”, since cat like privacy.
6. The box should be scooped and cleaned twice daily.
7. Don’t use harsh chemicals to clean the box; clean with mild soap and water and rinse really well.

Now, owners must take note to know the importance of providing good litterbox care to keep their cats happy. Be a good cat’s owner!
