根因分析
猫有强烈的掩埋排泄物本能;狗尿垫不允许挖掘,导致压力、尿潴留、膀胱炎或在尿垫外不当排泄,特别是在多猫家庭中。
English
Cats have a strong instinct to bury waste; puppy pads do not allow digging, causing stress and leading to urinary retention, cystitis, or inappropriate elimination outside the pad, especially in multi-cat households.

-
Provide a litter box with unscented clumping litter (depth 5-7 cm). For elderly or disabled cats, use low-sided boxes. If pads are necessary temporarily, place a thin layer of litter on top of the pad to simulate digging texture.
-
For multi-cat homes, provide one litter box per cat plus one extra, placed in quiet, accessible locations. Clean boxes daily. Use enzymatic cleaner for accidents to remove odor.

Placing pads in a corner without litter, but cats need texture to dig; smooth surfaces are unappealing.
