Cat Litter Boxes That Cats Love To Use
All furry feline friends have finicky natures, at least in some part. That it why they are so endearing to their owners. The fun stops, however, when fussy turns into stubborn reluctance and the subject is the use of cat litter boxes. Unless the feline in question is Wonder Cat and can perform amazing feats of toilet training, using the box is not an option.
Veterinarians are often asked for the reasons why a cat suddenly stops using its box. Hands down, the first answer is a question for the owner about the cleaning and maintenance of the litter box. It should not come as a surprise, yet it does for some owners, that a cat does not want to use a nasty smelly cat box. Cats by their very nature are clean and if their box is let go, litter not changed and smells wafting throughout the room, they will just go find a nicer area to use.
Other factors that may make felines avoid cat litter boxes include the placement of the box, if it is in a busy laundry room with dryer alarms sounding every half and hour, it is easy to see how this might affect a cat’s concentration when it comes to litter time. Boxes that are too small for larger cats, or even boxes with covers can all be culprits depending upon the house feline’s whims. For multi-cat households, multi-boxes are a must.
Good litter box maintenance is the way to win your cat’s heart and preserve your furnishings and carpeting. Some households favor automatic boxes as they are real times savers and eliminate much of the dirty work, but they can be too expensive for many cat lovers. Regular cat litter boxes work just fine with the selection of the proper litter and regular cleaning. In fact, some cats seem to prefer the old school style.
Crystal cat litters, while sometimes a bit more expensive than the clay variety, can pay off in dividends when it comes to keeping odors at bay. The crystal pellets actually wick the liquid away and absorb it. This keeps the box smelling fresh longer and makes for a happy cat and owner.
Without the right cat litter, a home can quickly develop an odor problem. Few products work as effectively as FreshStep cat litter crystals.
