Almost all owners of cats, faced with the fact that the animal starts to mark in the apartment, I puzzle myself over how to eliminate the hideous smell and puddles on the floor. Let's find out what to do if the cat is pointing at the apartment.
Why cats are tagged in an apartment?
Taking a small kitten to your house, ask the veterinarian beforehand when the cats begin to mark the territory. And you will surely hear, it happens at the time when the puberty of the animal begins. From this time on, all cats, and even some cats will mark corners, furniture, your clothes and shoes. And no cries, punishments and squirrels to defeat the natural instinct of the cat is impossible.
To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to castrate the animal before the onset of puberty. Age for castration varies from six to nine months, depending on the breed of the cat and its size. If this manipulation is not carried out, the cat will be tagged constantly in the apartment and you will have to put up with puddles and smell all the time.
Cats in the apartment can also be labeled for other reasons. Perhaps the cat does not have enough of your attention, and he marks the master's sofa , his shoes and clothes. Try to talk more often with your pet, take him in your arms, and perhaps the order in the house will be restored. Maybe the cat is jealous of the guests who arrived or the new animal that has settled in the house. Let the cat know that he is still loved.
Cat or cat marks in the apartment, if the state of his health worsened. Thus, the animal lets the owner know about its problem. Therefore, go to the veterinarian, who will examine the animal and give its recommendations or prescribe a treatment.
To scare off a cat, you can grate the places chosen for labels with lemon juice, treat it with a special repellent, or lay a foil at the corners, which the cats do not like walking around.
