What to do if my cat will not use the litter box?

by Learnthat.com Staff on Wednesday, May 28, 2003

Why won't my cat use the litter box anymore? We recently had this experience - our cat decided to stop using the litter box and some of the ideas we have used or seen used to get her back on track.

1. Check with your vet

In a small minority of cats, stopping use of the litter box could indicate a medical problem. Have your vet check your cat for problems which may be evident with this problem.

2. Move the litter box back

If you have recently moved the litter box, move it back to the original location. Once your cat uses the box again, start moving it a foot a day until its in the new position.

3. Clean the box every day

Try cleaning the box daily or buying an automatic cleaning litter box.

4. It's in the litter

If you've changed the type of litter you're using, try changing back. If not, you may need to try different types of litter to see if that brings the cat back to the box.
