Most cats love using the litter box. However, if the box isn’t just right, he may choose to go potty elsewhere. Cats can also develop medical problems that interfere with their ability to use a litter box properly. If your cat has chosen a new potty spot, there are a few things you can do to stop him from going there again in the future.

The simplest way to keep your cat away from an area is to lay down a bit of tin foil. Cat’s don’t like the way it feels or sounds when they walk on it, so they’ll avoid the spot in the future.

If tin foil doesn’t seem to be doing the trick, lay down plastic carpet runners instead. Just lay them upside down so the pointy part points up.

For a permanent solution to the problem, schedule an appointment with your vet Mobile, AL.
