How do I keep my cats from peeing all over the carpet?

20 Answers  |  Asked By: natel   1   

My cat pees in it’s litter box, but it also pees in random places, like all over the carpet and on other stuff. I really don’t want to get rid of my cat, but I don’t want to ruin my carpet. Is there a way to train your cat to use the litter box every time it has to go to the bathroom?

My cats also do not like the smell of mint and peppermint. So you can give that a shot.

Be sure to treat the areas he/she has peed on with a product specifically made for cat urine (Nature’s Miracle is pretty good, and doesn’t leave behind an equally offensive chemical smell). Uric acid crystallizes, and if you don’t use the proper cleaner, those crystals will reactivate anytime the carpet is wet, or even if there is some humidity in the room. Those same crystals will also allow your cat to smell that he/she went there once, and in the cat’s mind, that is the go ahead to go in that spot again. If the cat peed in a carpeted area near the edges (where the tack strip is) you may need to pull up the entire carpet. The porous wood used for tack strip is nearly impossible to remove urine from.

Has your cat always peed in places other than the litter box? Some cats pee in various places due to anxiety - if something has changed in your home, this can be a contributing factor.

Be sure that the cat’s litter box is large, open (the hooded kind may make us feel better about not seeing their mess, but cats don’t care for them), and cleaned very regularly. Cats are very clean animals, even when it comes to their litter. If their box isn’t clean enough, they will find somewhere else to go.

You said your cat pees in the litter box, so he is litter trained, but the peeing everywhere else could be a sign of a urinary track infection. Cat’s with this type of infection don’t like to be petted on the lower back, are unusually aggressive, lethargic, and don’t socialize with the family or other pets. If your kitty is showing any of these symptoms along with the peeing problem, please take her to the vet doc. immediately. The longer you wait, the sicker kitty will get. Take care, and meow for now!

Castration. If will prevent male cats from peeing everywhere to mark their territory. Also will prevent that females get pregnant and deliver undesired kittens that no one will take care. It makes your cat less agressive aswell. And most important it can reduce the chances of you pet to develop some sorts of cancer.

your cat might be trying to tell ya that he or she is in pain if you take him or her to a vet and tell the guy whats going on he might be able to tell u ….or the cat doesent like the brand you put in the box….try another one… and i agree with kims and garylucy never hit your cat…touch it on the nose slightly but not hard and say no….again and again…and put em in front of the litter box and stroke him or her gently never hit your cat thats just cruel and so so so wrong in a hundered ways your cat is family love it like you love a baby brother or sister…or a baby of your own if your baby pees on the carpet u wont hit it will ya now?i dont think so… u’ll say no and touch its nose slightly with out pain its the only way… so i hope its stops and good luck…

I don’t even think rubbing it’s nose in it is a good idea! If my cat starts to do something unpleasant on the carpet (in my case it is puking) I grab her by the scruff of her neck and throw her outside. If anything, you should put their nose NEXT TO IT and tell them no. How would you feel if someone rubbed your nose in your pee?

what yous should do , is everytime feed your cat on this case give it something to drink but the cat in the litter box. Keep doing this for a while so your cat can get used to the ltter box and know that they have to use it there and not nowwhere elese.although your cat does sometimes use it in the litter box u have to make sure he/she does it everytime it have to use it thats the same thing i did do i hope it work for you good luck!
