Clawing The best results come from preventive measures rather than having to punish your cat. A study of texture preferences has shown that cats prefer the clumping, scoopable litters to other types. Finally, try to keep your litter boxes as clean as possible, removing urine and feces at least daily. Also, place thick vinyl on those areas outside the litter box that your cat has been using. After cleaning with a urine odor-neutralizing product, it also is helpful to top the vinyl with items that smell clearly unpleasant to cats.
Cats dislike odors such as cedar chips, perfumes, and citrus oils.
If these measures are thorough, even the most challenging cat can be taught to use the litter box. Please contact our Web Master . Here for a Pet Newsletter.
