Outdoor furniture can be a great way to add comfort and style to your outdoor spaces. Unfortunately, cats may think that it’s their own personal litter box and start peeing on it. This can be a frustrating problem for cat owners, but there are some steps you can take to stop your cat from peeing on outdoor furniture.
Confine Your Cat
The first step in stopping your cat from peeing on outdoor furniture is to confine them. Put them in an area that has no access to the outdoor furniture.
This can be done by using a fenced-in area or creating an indoor space with a door that closes securely.
Keep the Area Clean
Make sure the area around the outdoor furniture is clean and free of anything that might attract cats, such as food scraps or toys. Any odors that may be lingering in the area could also be attracting cats, so regularly clean the area with an enzymatic cleaner.
Provide Alternative Peeing Locations
Create alternative peeing locations for your cat away from the outdoor furniture. Place litter boxes in areas where your cat can access them easily and make sure they are cleaned regularly. You may also want to consider providing other surfaces such as grass or sand for them to use instead of the furniture.
Use Aversive Techniques
If all else fails, you may need to use more extreme measures such as using aversive techniques like spraying water or using loud noises when they approach the furniture. These techniques should only be used as a last resort and should only be done under the guidance of a professional.
