When cats age, they experience several issues with their bodies, health, and daily activities. This instance is the same as what people normally experience when they age. Wouldn’t you agree? 

Thus, do not get surprised when your older cat refuses to do a few activities she enjoyed when she was a bit younger, like going in outdoors or using the cat flap. Your senior cat may also start showing some signs of insecurity and being threatened by the sight or company of other cats. 

So, be ready to give your cat easy access to a litter tray (or more than one) inside your home. Doing this will prevent the incidence of soiling in your home. You may want to have your senior cat checked up as well to rule out any possible underlying medical conditions.

Be careful in changing the layout of your garden too. Sudden changes may affect your cat’s toiletry habits because you may remove her favorite elimination spot in the backyard. If you can, preserve your cat’s preferred area.

Persistent litter box issues should warrant an appointment with your veterinary hospital Roswell, NM to make sure that your pet’s behavior is not caused by an underlying health issue.
