Kitten Is Scratching The Floor Like He Peed

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.

Kitten is scratching the floor like he peed.

Get off my patch. 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. Clean his litter box daily and try a softer natural litter similar to carpeting that he might prefer.

He was peeing and pooing normally under a little stress but he was ok we checked on him and he was always upstairs but he went to his litter box just fine the other day he was just in a urinating pose in the cat litter but nothing came we waited thinking he might pee somewhere so we let him at his business when we realized he only urinates droplets we started worrying and took him to the. It is not his revenge for you taking away his tuna last week because he was spilling it on the floor. This assumption is inaccurate. For kitties who scratch at the carpet provide lots of scratching posts around your home especially in carpeted areas.

There are litter boxes on the market with lower sides or cut out areas that are lower than the rest of the box. Instead this is still him trying to be sneaky and not let predators know where he is. Is next week and he wasn t in spray stance i saw him do it. This is the cat s way of saying.

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. If your little one isn t using his litter box correctly consult with your vet to determine if a medical issue is to blame. My 15 week old kitten just peed on the floor and i m not sure why. 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.

In the past i can think of 3 maybe 4 times she has peed on the floor or somewhere other than her litter box. 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. 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. She will be 2 in july.

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. In the wild cats don t come back to a meal they ve stored for several days. However kitty doesn t think like that. This is not an unusual behavior.

We have had our female cat since she was a kitten. She has always been a great cat never really any problems other than her occasional scratching of our couches or carpet. While i do not recommend it unless it is a severe case a vet visit can help you determine if medication can be useful or not. 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.

What you can do to stop this.
