Why does my kitten not go to the litter box anymore? ?

Question

It started on Monday, when my mom was waiting for our cable guy to install the phone lol. Anyways, on that same day my cat pissed on the bed. Now it's scared of the litter box and I don't even know why.

Answer 1

Clean it regularly and put tin foil on your bed for a week when ur not sleepin ok and when she pees again take her and put her head by the pee make sure she smells it then set her in th elitter box!

Answer 2

Generally, they quick going in the litter box because there is a smell they don't like.  You might try a different litter.  Or if it is a plastic box, dump all the litter out, scrub it down and then refill it.  Sometimes they just don't like where it is located.  You might try a different place also.

Answer 3

It may be that the litter box is too dirty or maybe the kitten got scared by someone messing with the litter box while trying to go.

Answer 4

Cats typically will not mess anywhere but his litter box. There are a few reasons why a cat would do this.

1. How clean is the litter box? A cat's litter box needs to be scooped daily and changed about once a week. If there is a lot of p**p in the box the cat will go elsewhere.

2. Is it a male? As male cats reach "teen-hood" They will begin to spray in order to mark their territory and attract females. Getting him neutered will solve this issue.

3. Where is his litter box? A cat needs privacy in order to relax and do his "business" just like us. His litter box should be put in a location out of sight.

4. UTI? Cats who develop a urinary tract infection will have accidents all over the house. This is not his fault and can be quite painful for him. Take him to the vet if you suspect this.

If I think of anything else I'll add them in. Hope I was some sort of help!

Answer 5

Maybe some noise happened and frightened her, when she  was in her litter box?

Try getting her a new, clean litter box on a different place and clean away all pee-stains.
