Clean Cat Urine

A short term solution is to clean cat urine up after your cat but in the long term you need to change your cats behavior so it doesn't associate your house with a place they can urinate. Here are a few steps to follow to train your dog not to urinate in the house.

Step 1: Try to find why your cat is urinating where he is.

* Have you recently moved and did the previous owner have a cat that urinated in the same place?
*Have you purchased a new item of furniture or plant that your cat does not like the smell of?
* Has your cat urinated indoors a few times without being told off and now got into a bad habit?

Step 2: Get rid of the offending item or clean the area thoroughly

If you find that your cat is associating an item with urinating in the house try and get rid of it. Clean the area thoroughly with a good cat urine cleaning product that has enzime neutralizers to rid the smell.

Step 3: Combat your cats behavior by changing it.

* If your cat has associated an item with urinating indoors where possible move that item outside to tell him 'this is where you should be going'
* When your cat does urinate indoors make sure you tell him off right away and make sure he knows he has been bad.

Using these techniques you should be able to stop your cat urinating indoors and have your home smelling sweetly again in no time.

Cats have a well-deserved reputation for cleanliness and cat house training from a young age can be quick and easy. If you have an older cat they can be harder to train and get out of their old habit's.

Cats can be trained not to mess in the house at all so you won't even need a litter box or have to clean cat urine. They can learn to go to the door if they need the toilet so you can let them out or if you have a cat flap you don't even need to get up and open a door for them.

You might prefer to use a litter box and there are many on the market including high tech gadgets and boxes that are disguised to look like furniture.

Litter Box Checklist

* Use the same type of litter. If you change it your can could refuse to use the litter box.
* Put your cat in the litter box whenever it looks like it is going to go.
* Reinforce good habits with treats and praise.
* Never punish a cat by rubbing its nose in its mess, the smell will only reinforce the kittens memory of the location as a toilet.
* Use a biological cleaner after accidents in the house. This will stop the cat from relieving itself again in the same spot.
