How to “Re-Housebreak” an Adult Cat

By elliotfeldman

Instructions

Step 1:
Buy a new litter box. Make sure that it’s uncovered. Sometimes new is good for pets, too.
Step 2:
Change the litter more often.
Step 3:
Change the brand and/or type of litter. The reverse may also be true. If you’ve recently switched cat litter brands and/or types, consider that your cat may be reacting negatively to the switch.
Step 4:
Take your cat to a vet that you trust if you’ve taken all the proper precautions and feel that you’ve exhausted your options.

Tips & Warnings
