How do you stop a cat from going to the bathroom in the bathtub?
Fill the sink and tub with a small amount of water. This water may discourage your cat from entering the tub or sink and prevent the action from occurring. Try a new brand of litter. Some cats don’t like the texture, smell, or other factors of certain types.
Why does my cat go in the bathtub after I shower?
Cats love cozy spaces, and the bath is an enclosure that is compact but not threatening or unstable. Your cat knows it can easily jump out of the tub and run away to find another place to play. Also, the surface of the tub is smooth and feels nice to walk and lay on.
Why is my cat suddenly pooping in the bathtub?
A cat may poop in the bathtub if they’re dealing with a medical issue (physical or mental), if they’re upset or stressed, or if they’re unhappy with the state of their litter box. They may prefer the cool, smooth surface of the bathtub, and the fact that it’s always a clean space for them to do their business in.

Why is my cat peeing on the floor all of a sudden?
If your well-trained cat suddenly starts peeing in random places, a visit to the vet is the first thing to do. Your cat could have a urinary tract infection (UTI), which is very common. An infection will cause him pain, and he’ll refuse to use his litter box. If left untreated, a UTI can cause scarring.
Why do cats not drink water next to their food?
Cats are biologically programmed not to drink water which is near their food or near their toileting area – this is thought to be their instinctive avoidance of contaminating their water with potential sources of bacteria. Cats prefer to drink out of ceramic, glass or metal bowls – plastic bowls can taint the water.
Why won’t my cat let me go to the bathroom alone?
Privacy for cats is all about safety. We may think of our cats as predators, but given their small size they are also prey and they know it. When a cat is urinating or defecating he feels vulnerable. Cats seek out private places to do their business so that they don’t have to worry about someone sneaking up on them.
What smell does a cat hate?
As a general rule, cats are sensitive when it comes to smells, but there are a few scents they hate that might just surprise you. They can’t stand citrus and as much as you might love the smell of fresh herbs, cats hate rosemary and thyme. Banana and mustard are a big no-no too, as well as lavender and eucalyptus.
What smells deter cats from pooping?
Odour repellent Cats are incredibly sensitive to smell so strong scents such as lavender, peppermint or cinnamon are great for keeping them away. Choose one of these scents, mix with water and spray around the garden. While this is just a short-term option, it’s cost-effective and non-toxic.
Does vinegar stop cats from pooping?
Vinegar, with its strong and soury smell, is said to be effective in removing the smell of cat’s poop and preventing cats from coming back again. It’s really easy to use. Simply mix vinegar with warm water in a spray bottle. Then spray the plants or areas where cats often poop.
