The purpose of this article is to teach an owner how to stop a cat urinating on the carpet and other inappropriate places. As such, this article contains 5 practical tips on how to stop a cat urinating on the carpet and other inappropriate places.

1. If untrained, give cat water, check regularly to see if they have a full stomach, and then carry them to the kitty litter tray and sit there until they go. You may have to repeat this step if you have a young kitten.

If you buy your cat from a pet store, you shouldn't have a problem with your cat urinating on the carpet as they should already be trained on using cat litter. However, if you have received your cat from another source you may need to engage in some training to stop your cat urinating on the carpet and other inappropriate places.

2. Place an open tub of Vicks VapoRub in areas that you don't want the cat to urinate.

The active ingredient in Vicks VapoRub irritates cats so they will not urinate in an area where this tub is. To stop your cat urinating on the carpet and other inappropriate places place your tubs around. Unfortunately, you may have to put up with the smell of Vicks. But it is better than the smell of cat urine.

3. If peeing in cold places, take your cat to the Vet as they may have an infection.

If your cat has been toilet trained and has stopped using the cat litter tray, you should see a specialist just in case there is something wrong.

4. If you are in a period of moving or renovation, have the moving or tradesmen spend a bit of time getting to know the cat-.

Cats urinate in inappropriate places when stressed. So if you have moved house, you need to spend some time with your cat to make sure everything is okay. If you are getting renovations done, you should have the tradesmen spend some time with the cat. The extra hour you have to pay the tradesman should be worth much more than spending hours trying to clean up the smell of cat urine. This should stop your cat urinating on the carpet and other inappropriate places.

5. Check the litter tray

There should be about 3 cm of even clean cat litter. Any feces clumps should be removed as soon as noticed, and the litter should be changed weekly to ensure your cat is happy to use the kitty litter tray.

As has been mentioned, a cat is a great pet for people of all ages, but they are not with out their problems. This article has shown you 5 great tips to stop your cat urinating on the carpet and other inappropriate places.
