A lot of cats do not like them. It is safer not to have them especially if a
cat is exhibiting problems with urinating.

infections. Also, with two cats you should have three litter boxes. Use
unscented, clumping litter with no hoods on the boxes.


What's wrong with the hoods?

Nothing if your cats don't mind them. But some cats don't like them and
may avoid the box if present. The cat may dislike being unable to
position itself a certain way or feel confined by the hooded box.


That's very interesting. I always thought that the hood was to prevent the
cat from scattering the litter in every direction around the box. The hood
seemed like a human convenience, and I never gave any thought to how the cat
might react.

My thanks to you and Gail. I'll remember this.

Besides changing litter daily, you do clean
the boxes out intraday, right? And you have
two, not one box, right?
Unclean litter boxes, and urinary tract infections,
are the two most common reasons for this behavior.
(It's far less likely that cats that have been using
a particular litter without problems, are suddenly
going to object to the brand/type.)
Off to the vet to have them checked.
If it's caused by urinary tract infections, it
will be easily remedied with the proper antibiotics.

Help! What can i do to make my cats stop peeing? They are 1 yr. old,
sisters and both fixed. Are they sick? How can i get this to stop? I
change their litter everyday, feed them well, and it still happens. Mostly
on clothes in my room. But this morning it was all over the bathroom floor.

Thanx in advance
