Does Your Cat Urinate Outside The Litter Box?

Updated: May 16, 2022

Cats are one trainable animal. Simple commands and tasks can be learned by these furry felines.


Thus, when you observe that your cats urinate outside their litterbox, something might be wrong. Let your vet check your cats to determine if they have underlying health problems that affect their ability to urinate. Your cats may have an infection or stones and may need to undergo an X-ray examination or urinalysis.


Your vet will give you treatment recommendations when a problem has been observed. However, if your cats are free from these issues, the problem might be your litter box.


Here are some guide questions to let you maintain a hygienic litter box:

  • Is it placed in the right or a good location?

  • Is it appealing to your cats?

  • Is it free from unnecessary dirt or materials?

  • You can also help your cats to be less stressed so they can urinate properly. Understand that stress can affect these animals’ behavior.

Persistent litter box issues should warrant an appointment with your veterinary clinic Ellicott City, MD to make sure that your pet’s behavior is not caused by an underlying health issue.
