Start here to solve your cat's soiling

Solving the soiling firstly involves assessing why your cat is soiling. There could be a medical condition behind the problem and, when it comes to your cat's waterworks, you have to determine if your cat is spraying or just urinating in unwanted areas. The two behaviours are quite different.

The first six chapters deal with medical conditions that you should consider.

Chapters 7 and 8 show why altercations between cats, such as aggression, are very common causes of soiling.

Chapters 9, 10 and 11are the central behavioural therapy chapters for house-soiling cats and contain vital information that solve many house-soiling problems.

Chapter 12, Keeping Cats Content describes how lifestyle issues are important for soiling cats and chapters 13 and 14 talk about why scents are so important to cats and how the special scents called pheromones can help to solve your cats soiling behaviours.

Lastly, chapters 15 and 16 deal with the concept of medications and how they relate to problem behaviours.
