Litter box in unsuitable place....
We have a litter box behind our wet bar. Cats were previously
relieving themselves back there, so we put the litter box there. However, this is a tight space, hard for us to get to to clean it, etc. How can we get them to stop going back there? We've tried gradually moving the box, but they continue going back there. -- http://www.pleasedtomeetu.com the date doctor is in! |

You might want to try putting food there. Cats generally won't perform elimination duties where they eat. FirstHit |

Use an enzymatic cleaner like Nature's Miracle (the enzymes actually eat up the pee) following the directions on the bottle, then steam clean and do it again. (I am assuming this is carpet? How many cats do you have? |

You can try cleaning the area very well and putting empty boxes (or add a mothball or two to the boxes) to prevent them from getting to the area. Once they're using their litter pan elsewhere, remove the boxes and see what happens. -- Kelly..........

First, thoroughly clean the area with an enzymatic cleaner. If there's
carpeting back there, you may need to remove it. Be generous with the amount of cleaner you use--it needs to be soaked. Next how many boxes do you have? Minimum is one per cat + 1 more. Try putting boxes in other locations. If there's another location they prefer, they won't use the box behind the bar. If all else fails, just leave the box there. IMO, it's better to squeeze in there and scoop it than to deal with urine-soaked carpets/ rugs. |
