Does it help with cats urinating outside the litter box?
926386
Do you scoop, clean and change the box often enough? Might try increasing that and see if it helps. Do you have a big enough litter box - good size and the right shape? That was key for mine who was doing this. You might also try keeping 2 litter boxes available (one for #1 and another for #2) if you can. Has something traumatic happened with your cat recently that could upset it (big changes, a move, another pet?) Is it eating and drinking normally? If all these things pan out, I then would talk to your vet about any medical issues (esp kidney or liver) that could cause it. But if it is otherwise perfectly healthy, it is usually behavioral. You just have to figure out the reason. Do you scoop, clean and change the box often enough? Might try increasing that and see if it helps.

I had the same problem with my cat and I found 2 things, 1- she hates a dirty liter box, then I took her to the Vet and she had a urinary problem and must eat a special food that is prescribed by a Vet for her uninary problem.

No, but please rule out medical conditions first, kitty could have a UTI or some other underlying condition. It also could be there is something about the litter box kitty does not like, i.e., too much litter, not enough, not clean enough, etc. I had issues with my adopted kitty who was urinating on a carpet area and tried numerous solutions, and finally found resolve in simply placing another litter box over the area she was using. Some people dump their cats at the shelter or where ever due to such problems. Please don't do that, there is a reason kitty is urinating outside the box.

It helps with all smells when mixed with litter. I have a litter box close to my living area & ordered this product just for the purpose of smell problems.

Sort of , it's more like a cupping device to keep the litter in. My son's cat used to do that too , turning around and peeing out the door. It does help it to stay in , like a splash guard, but nothings perfect when dealing with that. I keep an old towel under the litter pan and change it daily.its easier than cleaning it up after the pee goes under the pan and is floating. I do think the bottom lip on the pan helps quite a bit compared to the regular type of litter pans. We also got his cat the big corner pan as opposed the the smaller oval pan. That helps keep it in as well. Good luck to you ! Sort of , it's more like a cupping device to keep the litter in. My son's cat used to do that too , turning around and peeing out the door.

I don't know if this will help but I bought a jar of the Cat Attract herbs and have used it in the past on the regular Precious Cat litter. I was using it to train two feral kittens to use a litter box and it was highly successful. I just took a goodly pinch of the Cat Attract herbs and sprinkled it over the top of the regular litter. Doing this might save you some dough--instead of buying the Cat Attract litter.

I have found Nok Out to be very effective, although I imagine it depends on how strong the odor is. I would check out their website: http://www.nokout.com/home.php I have used Nok-Out on male cat urine and feces and found it extremely helpful.

not that I am aware of...I clean the litter boxes every week outside with the hose and vinegar to freshen them

I guess it depends on your cat. The idea is to deter further urinating, but it may not deter all cats. I think a lot depends on how soaked the area is as well. I'm only guessing that an area that is really soaked underneath (carpet pad, soil?) is harder to deter than a fresh one. If I were testing the idea, I'd spray the area and let it soak a bit to get rid of the urine odor and then perhaps rinse off the pea gravel to get rid of the Fizzion. Even if you can't smell it anymore, I think your cat could for a while anyway. In my atrium, occasionally a stray sprays one of the outside walls. I spray it down with Fizzion but ,eventually, it gets sprayed again. I guess it depends on your cat. The idea is to deter further urinating, but it may not deter all cats.

I try to wipe it down daily. Usually it's just the small inner ledge that gets dirty, not the part that the cat stands on. I've never seen any urine spray from outside the toilet, but occasionally a little piece of poo here and there (I have no idea why, though). No matter what, it's way better than cleaning a cat box once the cat completes the training.

I have found it to be amazingly helpful in many apps for many plants, I must assume it would work for smelly old boxwoods as well. Sorry, my kids insist , as do I, that ours smell like feline urine. (not from feral cats..)

I know that cat urine has different chemicals to it. So it might help but I think the cat urine nature's miracle will work best. It is on amazon for about the same price.

I sprinkle some in when I add new litter to the exsisting. Every few days. My cat is in end stage kidney failure and he urinates a lot .. this does help keep the smell down thankfully.

Hi Jackie,My 2 cats had begun to pee on my bed and a couch in my den, which was very frustrating. I purchased this and an extra collar. It works great. I also recently purchased an extra disk for the couch in my den. This has been a lifesaver. Also, PetSmart sells enzyme pet urine removers, which is also a great product. Hope this helps. Good luck!

From what I've seen, yes. We have a total of 8 cats in the house, three that are kept in separate parts of the house. We also have a fairly decent sized feral cat colony that lives around us, and marks around outside, which is what is causing the cats to urinate/spray in the house I believe. We have gone from 2 or 3 of the cats urinating in the house at least once or twice a week, to the rare occasion per month now.

Yes. I purchased mine for that reason. To monitor which one of my cats was urinating in inappropriate places.

You are quite welcome. One other possibility that I forgot to note(apologies if you already are aware, not intended as an insult to your intelligence) is that cats who get urinary tract infections will repeatedly urinate outside the litter box. If that is what's happening, the vet can give clavimox antibiotic to treat it. Recurring UTIs may be caused by urinary stones, and a special diet(Royal Canin feline S/O) will treat that stone issue. If kidney dysfunction(usually cat is>=10 years old) is the issue, the food(dry or canned) Hill's k/d and plenty of water access should help. That's likely more than you ever needed to know.

Absolutely! I use it outside whenever my cats or someone else's cats "mark" territory. Works great. May have to reapply if heavy rains occur within 72 hrs of application.

If you mean the clay clumping litter I would say yes, as it is designed for spilled litter outside the box or when they get out of litter box it will catch the litter off their feet. I use the cedar,pine & corn clumping litter and it is just amazing how it catches it as my cats get out of the box. Cleans well too! Just Love it! Get it!! You'll never want any other type of litter mat again! Thanks:) Audrey
