Fun educational facts

If your cat isn't comfortable with their litter box or can't easily access it they might not use it.

• Clean litter boxes 
  • You can scoop and/or change your cat's litter at least once a day. 
  • When you change your litter box, rinse the litter box out completely with baking soda or unscented soap once a week. 
• Large boxes and shallow bed of litter  
  • They can enter easily. Sometimes cats prefer large litter boxes.
  • Provide one to two inches of litter, they don't always like a large amount of litter.  
• Try switching your litter up. 
  • Use an unscented clumping litter. 
• You can also try adding more litter boxes. 
  • Typically, it is 1 litter box per cat + 1 litter box. 

Here are some tips to try and help some of the aggression towards each other.

• Don't let them fight it out. They don't resolve any of their issues fighting. 
  • Try clapping loudly or spraying them with water from a spray bottle. 
• If they are males, you can try neutering them. Intact males are particularly prone to aggressive behavior. 
• Separate the resources by providing multiples (litter boxes, beds and bowls) in different areas of your house.
• Provide additional perches and hiding spots.
• Reward the desired behavior
  • Praise or toss treats to reward your cats when you see them acting in a friendly manner. 
• Try Pheromones 
  • FeliWay (diffusers or spray)
  • The pheromones mimic a natural cat odor that may reduce tensions.
