more ideas for kitten pee problem?
We have tried all the tricks that have been suggested to train a kitten to
pee in litter box and he is still peeing on the carpet. Here is the background and what we have done: He is 3 months old. (had him since he was 8 wks......a loving purring kitten...great personallity except litter box issue). He has a litter mate sister who uses the box always. When they are closed in the kitchen area, he will use the litter box always (where we keep them at night for now). When we let him out to explore the house.......(limited to living room for now), he will sometimes pee in a certain spot on the carpet. We will pick him up, each time, as soon as we see, and put him in the litter box (usually too late). I have never seen him use the litter right after that. We clean w/ enzymatic cleaner to remove smell each time on the carpet. He still goes back to the same spot and pees on the carpet. (several cycles of this) We then covered the area so he does not have access and he will find a new spot to pee in another part of the room on the carpet. Again we cleaned and deorderized and put a 2nd litter box on the spot on the carpet in the living room on the spot. He will approach the 2nd litter box box and pee just outside of the litter box on the carpet. We cleaned again. This repeats for a few times. We then started to spritz him with a water spray when he start to see him pee. He will run and then immediately pee on a new spot against the wall on the carpet. We have seen him use the 2nd litter box to poop in interestingly. Again, never has accidents in the kitchen. Any new suggestions? At this point we hate to let him out of the kitchen area until see some inclination to pee in the litter box. We would like to introduce them to the hose when we are confident that he wont pee on the carpet. Thank you for the advise |

He could be marking his territory. Has he been neutered yet?

I wonder if some how he thinks carpet is grass? Maybe some smell in the carpet already which attracts him? Do both boxes have the same litter? Is it scooped as soon as you notice anything in the box? |
