Kitten Is Scratching The Floor Like He Peed

We have had our female cat since she was a kitten.

Kitten is scratching the floor like he peed.

Instead this is still him trying to be sneaky and not let predators know where he is. I didn t scold him or yell or anything because i was more concerned if there was some kind of problem he has never done this before. This is not an unusual behavior. As cats age their mobility can be affected as their muscle tone and overall health decline.

If you re feline pal has taken the time to physically cover his food rather than just pawing on the floor he s just going the extra mile. A common mistake cat owners make is that when their cat swipes their paw on the floor around their food dish they think that they are covering up the food like they would their poop in a litter box. Many cat owners assume this is a clear sign that the cat isn t interested in the food. She has always been a great cat never really any problems other than her occasional scratching of our couches or carpet.

I have two litter boxes and at the time he didn t have access to one of them he hasn t been nuetered yet his appt. For kitties who scratch at the carpet provide lots of scratching posts around your home especially in carpeted areas. What you can do to stop this. If your little one isn t using his litter box correctly consult with your vet to determine if a medical issue is to blame.

Once you find out why your cat is depressed you will be able to eliminate or at least lessen the stress and thus end the peeing on the floor. In the past i can think of 3 maybe 4 times she has peed on the floor or somewhere other than her litter box. This is the cat s way of saying. If you ve ever looked at exactly where your cat scratches chances are it s near a door or an entrance where there are lots of feet coming in and out.

However kitty doesn t think like that. She will be 2 in july. My 15 week old kitten just peed on the floor and i m not sure why. Before or after your kitten or cat eats or drinks it may paw scratch or knead the floor as if it is digging or burying something.

There are litter boxes on the market with lower sides or cut out areas that are lower than the rest of the box. It is not his revenge for you taking away his tuna last week because he was spilling it on the floor. In fact your pet is demonstrating an instinct shared even by the big cats and it is a very positive sign that it is feeling at home in your house. Clean his litter box daily and try a softer natural litter similar to carpeting that he might prefer.

If your cat is peeing in the house take a good look at the structure of their litter box and notice if it may simply be too hard to climb into. This assumption is inaccurate. There s nothing wrong with your cat. In the wild cats don t come back to a meal they ve stored for several days.

Is next week and he wasn t in spray stance i saw him do it.
