Why do cats pee outside the litter box?

• <div>Even cats that are well-trained at using the litter box can end up urinating on various household objects or floors at some point. Cats may pee outside of the litter box for many different reasons, from their surroundings to their health.If any of these issues sound familiar, addressing them can help you prevent any future accidents. When in doubt, talk to your vet, especially if peeing outside the litter box is coupled with any other abnormal behavior. <ul><li>Stress: A soiled litter box or untidy surroundings, strange guests stopping by, or loud noises may stress out a kitty, leading them to pee outside of their box.</li><li>Health: Cats with health issues like UTIs, bladder stones, diabetes, or kidney disease may pee around the house.</li><li>Marking: Cats may mark around the house to either claim their territory when other animals come around or to attract a mate.</li><li>Preferences: Your cat may simply prefer a larger litter box, or maybe they don’t like the new litter you bought on sale at the store.</li></ul> </div>
