Cat Behavioral Problems: Solve Them Quickly and Easily
It is important to try and solve Cat Behavioral Problems as quickly as possible. This is because the more a certain behavior is repeated, the harder it is to try and break the cycle of bad behavior.
Solving Cat Behavioral Problems is one of the most frustrating and stressful situations you can be in. While at times it seems that you are alone, realize that there is a lot of help available to you from lots of different sources like website, books, and articles.
Most people make the mistake of just wanting the solution and not seeking out the original cause of the behavior problem. This results in people trying a wide range of things that do not work because they are not correctly identifying the issue or they are listening to people who are not cat behavioral experts.
For example, a cat may stop using the litter box for a number of different reasons. Maybe the litter box has been recently moved, the box is not clean enough, or maybe there is a change in the household routine. This and a lot more reasons exist for a cat to stop using the litter box, and they each require a specific and different solution.
This is just one example of how important it is to identify the cause of the problem. Take some time right now to think about any recent changes in the house that might be affecting your cat. Many times the solution is much easier than you think.
To start your analysis of the problem you can break down cat problems into two general categories, litter box issues, and feline aggression issues. These are two broad categories, but almost all problems should fit into these two categories.
For there you can break down the problem even further in the categories, until you think you have arrived at the cause of the problem.
Also, it is important to take your cat for regular vet checkups. If you do have a behavior problem with your cat it is always important to rule out a possible medical cause.
Hyperthyroidism and kidney problems are just two examples of how a medical problem can cause a change in the behavior of a cat. This is why it is important to have a physical exam done on your cat and possibly some blood work.
Another medical cause of behavior problems is urinary tract infections. Cats who have these infections may stop using the litter box all together and may start to urinate on beds and carpets.
Remember, you are not alone in dealing with this stressful situation. There are lots of websites, books, and articles out there that can provide you with the information that you need.
Take the time to try and understand what exactly caused this cat behavioral problem and then only use time tested and proven solutions from cat experts who know what they are talking about. Only by truly taking this time can you then solve the problem more quickly and easily.

cat behavioral problem: will not use litter box?
my nine month old cat will not use his litter box. my husband and i have used many difernt types of cat litter, and even a seperate pan for him, but still nothing.our other cats all use their box, but he hasnt seemed to catch on.
our other cats always use thier box, our oldest cat will not use the box if it does not have a hood or clumping scented litter in it.(he is a oddball i know) so we have tried a open pan, we have tried difernt clumping litters, unclumping, unscented. we have also tried wood shavings and shreded newspaper. but our little buddy still prefers the livingroom rug, no matter how many times we clean it. the litter box is cleaned daily, do i dont think that this is a issue with clieniness of the box. our vet told me that it was probly that another cat scares him away from the box when he goes to use it, or that it isnt clean enough, but even after it has been freshly cleaned he will not use it.
dose anyone know a way to get him to use his litter box?

Cat Behavioral Problems~?
I have three cats, the newest family member is turning out to be a pain. It first started out with her first urinated on our couch, which is now ruined may I say so. And now her new thing is tearing up our paper towels. I don't know what to do, no matter how many times I tell her no she still does it. She doesn't do it in front of me only when I am not around. Does anyone have any idea how to handle her, becuase I am spending to much money on paper towels.

Cat Behavioural Problems, Help?
I've got a 9 month old male kitten, and i adore him to bits. But he's pretty much a monster alot of the time,
he gets up on the table and knocks glasses over,
took all of the decorations off the christmas tree,
knocks over the bathroom garbage can on a daily basis,
when he eats (kibbles) he insists on making a huge mess everywhere he takes the kibble away from the bowl and chews it (off the mat i have under his food bowl) and making kibble crumbs everywhere,
He never wants to cuddle, or sit on anyones lap
We've gotten him fixed, but he's still crazy.
I need some help on what to do, some people say i should get a second kitten to play with him so he wont be bored and cause utter chaos and destruction, but i wouldnt know how, like what age and if it should be female or male, and how to introduce them, or if theres something else i can do to attempt to make him eat on the food mat or stop knocking over the garbage and stealing everything off the tree. Please help?
This cat gets more attention than puppies that are in his face, he's constantly around me while im at home, and i talk to him and play with him most of the time when he's not sleeping. He has plenty of toys and 2 different cat houses (which is alot to have in a one bedroom apartment, but my boyfriend puts up with it anyways) I was honestly considering getting him a playmate, but the way people are talking about it being even worse, i truely doubt it. This cat seems to be very attached, and is very loyal so a mate might be a good thing for him, because both me and my boyfriend work all day, and only get home around 5 so hes alone for about 10 hours of the day. I leave the radio on, but i think he gets really lonely. I'd be willing to go through the havoc of the 2 of them, as long as it would help in the end.
*he gets more attention than puppies that are in your face and begging for it is what i meant

Cat Behavioral Problems?
My cat of around 6 years (have had him since birth) has recently started defecating and urinating on my bed and all around our house. Now my mother has a friend whom stays over occasionally but that has never been a problem.. Him and the cat were the best of friends. When he decides to urinate, he tries to dig under our covers, as if to hide from something, and eventually just squats on the bed and performs the foul deed. When defecating, he tends to become very skittish and starts running around (as if the cramping is scaring him?) and just lets it drop wherever it falls.. I know this is a disgusting topic but I need help with this.. We can't figure it out! We aren't the kind to get rid of an animal because of drastic changes so we need a solution.
EDIT: No, there have not been any new animals or people introduced recently.. I have no idea why he chooses to do this.
EDIT: Oh yeah, also! When you look at him and watch him staring at something, you can tell that he's staring at it or you but his eyes make small, multi-directional twitches.. Could he be insane? D:
EDIT: (Again, yes.) He's also been hissing at everyone that walks into the room with him.. Even people who aren't moving fast or being threatening..
