And one of them has been peeing in the sandbox for a few months but pooping right outside on the floor next to the boxes. They have 3 sandboxes. I have been off work for 6 months and I have returned to work and that is when she started doing it. She left the television on for them. And I don't pay attention to him when I leave or when I arrive. It's what I've read. But it is still the same. I don't know what to do anymore.



Thank you!!!! Reply Amparo leon garrido says: March 2, 2021 at 4:28 pm Why does my cat only use the litter box to pee and he always poops outside where he first catches it? Reply Ana says: February 28, 2021 at 11:08 pm Hello, we have introduced a new cat into the house, we already had one, we don't know how to bring them together, they are separated because they hiss and fight, I don't know what I can do, she spends the whole day meowing in front of the door where the new cat is, I It's scary that I get stress, what can I do, thank you Reply Sara says: March 7, 2021 at 12:24 am It's normal, eventually they get used to it. Buy, if you can, Feliway friendly pheromomas and put cloths or toys on each one that the other has used, in order to get used to the smell. Socialization takes time, but it is achieved and then they do not stop playing and sleeping together. They just need to get used to it.  Reply Pcz says: March 8, 2021 at 6:41 pm Buy a pheromone plug-in air freshener for cats. It will help them calm down. Reply Pilar García Rubio says: February 21, 2021 at 4:56 pm If I have a cat I just got rid of it because my daughter came home with a pitbull and two jealous cats, I don't know how to act. Reply Sara says: March 7, 2021 at 12:28 am Neuter cats. Jealousy for them is hell. And keep them separated until they get used to the smell of each other under the door. You have to be patient and in the end it will be achieved but you also have to keep an eye on them so that they don't get hurt at the beginning, especially if you have a dog. And I'm telling you, castration of cats is essential. It is a little more expensive than in males but you can ask at different veterinarians and also about castration campaigns, I don't know where you live but they are everywhere and they are very cheap.
