Sand box avoidance solutions – (7 steps you can do today)

Avoidance of the sand box: The 7 -step solution you can do today!
By Rita Reimers, multi -cat behavior expert
The avoidance of the sand box is one of the most common behavior problems we see here in Cat Behavior Alliance. While the ‘property’ of Cat brings a lot of joy and company to the life of a person. But when Kitty begins to “lose” its sand box, the relationship between a cat and a owner can be tense.
How do I solve the problems of the sandbox?
Solving the avoidance of the sand box can be complicated. Without knowing what else to do, often the owner will give Kitty to a shelter or rescue. Left abandoned, these cats with problems are generally not rearp. Do not allow this setback, which is easy to address, ask you to unnecessarily renounce your cat.
The first action to solve the avoidance of the garbage box would be a trip to its veterinarian so that your cat is an exhaustive exam. There are medical problems that could be taking their cat to avoid the sandbox, such as urinary tract infections, urinary crystals or bladder stones.
Once a medical problem has been ruled out or clarified, try these seven things to correct the problem, or even prevent it so that it never begins in the first place.
Our 7 -step solution to avoid the sand box
- N plus 1: Be sure to have enough sand boxes. While most experts agree that there should be a box more than the amount of cats that share themThis is not always practical. If you have 1 for every two cats, that should be sufficient if they are collected often. See our blog, household houses, for more information about this.
- Placement of boxes: Place the sand box in a low traffic area that your cat is easily accessible. If you place the box in an area that is constantly occupied, your cat may not use it. Similarly, if your cat has to spend the place to sleep Rover to get to the box, you are likely to choose another place to “go.”
- Make the boxes away from the boxes: Do not put food and sand box next to each other. Most cats will not eat near where they eliminate, so a litter that is close to
The food bowl will probably not be used.
- The size matters: Make sure the sand box is large enough to accommodate its kitten. If your rear end stands out when it is inside, you will not use it or your goal will be directed towards your floor.
- Cover vs no lid: Your cat can prefer a box of sandless sand. Although you may like the lid to help contain spills and smell, your cat can prefer open spaces of a non -recruited box.Cat litter
- Guy: Provide a cat garbage that your cat likes. You may have to change brands or types several times until you find th
and one that your cat prefers. Keep in mind that some types of cat garbage are hard for tender legs, especially if your cat is discarded. The fine texture sands are easier for legs than large thick parts with sharp edges. See our blog, choosing adequate cat garbage, for a detailed comparison of types and brands.
- Wash the sand box: Remove alone is not enough. At least once a month, empty the box and wash with hot water and an enzymatic murder product, such as our favorite, Anti -ilosy Poo. Then fill the sand box with fresh and clean sand.
Is your aja box problem solved?
Solving the avoidance of the sand box can be a challenge, but if you follow these steps, your home must remain without urinating and without smell. If your kitten begins to lose your box despite having taken these precautions, this could indicate a serious medical problem. Have your cat be reviewed by a veterinarian before assuming that the problem is behavioral.
Once your cat receives a clean health list, see a Cat behaviorist To work with you and your cat. There are solutions if you are committed to work with your cat, your veterinarian and your behaviorist.

Senior cat video delivered at age 14 breaks hearts

Being the owner of a pet is a life commitment, but sometimes difficult circumstances force dear animals to shelters. A Tiktok video Published by the Rescuedist of Animals, Rachel, captures the confusion and anguish of a cat over 14 years while making the transition of the comfort of her home to the unknown surroundings of a shelter kennel.
Tiktok’s video shows a confused senior cat and living in a kennel
Tiktok’s emotional video shows a 14 -year -old cat, delivered by his family to a shelter. After spending more than a decade in a loving home, the cat now fights to understand why it has been uprooted from the only life I knew.
The cold and sterile confines of the kennel have replaced their environment that once housed, leaving it visibly anxious and confused. The subtitle of the video describes the current state of the feline moved: “14 years of living with a family now treasury about why he lives in a kennel.”
Many Tiktok users expressed empathy for the cat’s situation. The comments went from support to their well -being to criticism of the circumstances that led him to his surrender. “Poor. Because? Why would they do such a thing? Pets are with you for the rest of their lives! I could never do such a thing, ”wrote a user. “I hope you find your love forever, love, they didn’t deserve you,” said a spectator. “How could anyone leave it after 14 years? This is heartbreaking, ”said another.
The experience of this older cat is not unique. Every year, innumerable pets are in shelters for a variety of reasons. Financial restrictions, changes in living situations, allergies or behavior problems often force pet owners to make the difficult decision to deliver their animals. According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty towards Animals (ASPCA), approximately 6.3 million pets enter animal shelters throughout the country every year. Of these, approximately 3.2 million are cats.
Major pets often fight to adapt to new environments after spending years in a family environment. In addition, major pets face challenges to find new houses. This is because many potential adopters opt for younger animals, leaving older pets that languish in shelters.
