Choose the appropriate litter box:
Ensure that the size of the litter box is suitable for your cat, spacious enough for easy entry, exit, and turning.
The edge of the litter box should be high enough to prevent cats from splashing it out while digging the litter.
Use appropriate cat litter:
Choose cat litter with good clumping properties and strong water absorption, so that clumps can quickly form after the cat excretes, reducing the risk of litter scattering.
Avoid using cat litter that is too small or lightweight, as they are more easily carried out of the litter box by cats.
Regularly clean the litter box:
Keep the litter box clean, regularly replace the litter box to reduce odors and bacterial growth, and encourage cats to defecate in the box.
When cleaning, thoroughly clean the litter box to remove any residual odors and stains.
Training cats:
Starting from a young age, cats are trained to use litter boxes to develop good habits.
If a cat is already an adult and has a problem with litter, it can try to correct its behavior through guidance and education.
Use cat litter pads or cat litter fences:
Place litter pads around the litter box to catch cat litter taken out by cats and facilitate cleaning.
Consider using a cat litter fence to enclose the litter box to prevent litter from scattering onto the surrounding ground.
Observing the behavior of cats:
Observe the behavior of cats in the litter box to see if they have any abnormal digging or jumping movements, which may cause litter to scatter.
If you notice any abnormal behavior in your cat, you can try adjusting the position or type of litter box to suit your cat's habits.
Timely clean up scattered cat litter:
Once cat litter is found scattered, clean it up promptly with a vacuum cleaner or broom to keep the ground clean.
By implementing the above measures, you can effectively reduce the situation where cats litter the floor, and maintain a clean and comfortable home environment.
