When it comes to your pet’s health and wellbeing, adequate and appropriate knowledge about your pet will empower you to make the right decisions.

Myth: Cats pee outside their litter box because they’re annoyed at their owners.

Fact: Peeing frequently in other places other than the litter box may be due to a serious underlying health issue, like urinary tract disease or diabetes. But the behavior can also be attributed to a cat’s marking behavior, or it can be caused by exposure to certain stressors in their immediate environment. In order to address your pet’s behavior, the underlying reason should first be identified. Also, make sure that the behavior is not triggered by issues such as a poorly-maintained litter box, location of the litter box, or the type of litter being used.
