My sister's cat and our new kitten pee everywhere how do i change their behavior?

my cat has never went on the floor, ever. and it's the only one, we have 3 cats and now a kitten. Smeagol use to use the floor and has improved 96%. Mini uses the cat box and the floor 50/60 and the kitten was trained using its own cat box for a entire week. then my cat started on its cat box and the kitten was fine with it. then i put a bigger one in place of it, she used it a couple times and now wont go there. its also causing Mini to use the floor more then she usually does.



how do i get them to stop? we clean the boxes often, it just seems like they prefer to do what ever they want. except my cat. but any suggestions? telling them no, doesn't work. stopping it when its going and putting it directly in the box doesnt work.My sister%26039;s cat and our new kitten pee everywhere how do i change their behavior?
I put a capful of ammonia in the litterbox. It definetly attracts the cats, but you still have to watch them like a hawk.My sister%26039;s cat and our new kitten pee everywhere how do i change their behavior?

when your cats mistake you can hit them on the tail with a newspaper (rolled) , and they will know that they did something wrong... you need to take them next to the box and put the there for them to get used to it, they will catch the scent. anyway.... try to keep your cats near the box (that is what i did to my cat)My sister%26039;s cat and our new kitten pee everywhere how do i change their behavior?

Cats are especially sensitive to changes in their environment. A new pet, new roommate, new baby... a visit to the vet, an overnight stay at the kennel... can all be 'traumatic' experiences. When a cat is uncomfortable, unsettled or feels otherwise threatened they tend to reestablish boundaries - i.e. 'marking their territory'.



There are some products [eg. Feliway] on the market that claim to assist cats in settling down by creating 'scents' (phermones) that mimic the natural ways that a cat establishes it's 'safe zone'. Even notice how cats rub their chin on things - doorways, furniture corners, your hand? That's their way of leaving their mark.



If it's merely a litter box issue, you can train or retrain a cat to use the box by confining them to a bathroom or other small space to reestablish the pattern of using the box.



Good luck.
