Episode 19 – The Perfect Litterbox…From Your Cat’s Perspective

 

Is your cat peeing or pooping outside of the litter box?

Have you tried everything? Are you at your wit’s end?

In this episode, you will learn the 7 things your cat wants you to know when it comes to litterboxes!

Feline House Soiling (aka peeing outside the litterbox) is the most common feline Behaviour Problem presented to Veterinary Behaviourists globally.

While these cases are mostly complex and multifactorial and often require the assistance of a professional, litter box optimization is almost always part of the treatment plan.

 

Here’s what we cover:

1.      Size

2.      Number

3.      Location

4.      The ideal litter

5.      Cleanliness

6.      Deodorisers and liners – are they useful?

7.      Covered versus Uncovered
