Jerry wont use litter trays that the kittens have used

Erin · 13-06-2007, 08:40 PM

Jerry has decided that hes no loner going to use the trays that the kittens have used,does anybody no why?
He has started going by the side of the trays.
I havnt got anywhere in the house where I can put a tray just for him,Im limited for places to put them because of the dogs.
He does have 24 hour access to outside but spends most of his time indoors.
Anybody have any ideas

um does the kittens go out more than jerry because if they do you could put the kittens litter tray outside and get 1 for jerry to use inside just a thought but might not help

That's a problem, and if there's no place for another tray, I have no idea what to suggest! Maybe scooping more often? Hope someone has a solution...

Usually cats don't like to use a tray that is being used by another cat....let alone two others. That may be the problem.......have you just got the one tray for Jerry and the kittens Erin?

When I had three they all used the same tray with no problem, Mags.

we have 3 trays,we have 2 upstairs that they can use all the time because the dogs cant get to them and 1 thats out down stairs when the dogs are in the kitchen at night.
I scoop everytime they go when Im at home or not alseep and they have a full litter change and have the trays cleaned every other day.

Ahh...that may not be the reason for Jerry not using it then......it seems strange that he has suddenly started doing this though

Do you he is just using to the side of the tray - without meaning to ie feels the litter under his front feet but squats outside? how about changing to a hooded tray. Reining him him slightly?
