Overcome litter tray

-
The type of sand does not like: There are many types of cat litter, and not all are liked by the Pussycats. The taste changes every cat, but often rejections usually it occur scented sand or odors. Even the detergent you use to clean the case may be grounds for rejection for the Pussycat. The solution is to use mild detergents and arenas with neutral odor, or wood or other natural elements.
-
Sudden change in sand or sandpit: the cat is also a creature of habit, so you can react badly to any changes. And their arena is one of the particularly sensitive, so it is recommended that these variations in type of sand or tray to be made gradually.
-
The sand box itself and its position: sand tray must be large enough for the cat to fit comfortably. Furthermore, it has to be in a place less traveled and quiet, occupying the correct area in the house.
-

Other causes are associated with the sandbox the cat has a bad memory of it (for example if you quarrel being in it, or if we give medication while using it; so avoid these negative situations) or has not learned to use.
