Why does my cat toilet in the house?

It is not uncommon for cats to inappropriately urinate and defaecate in the house and many cat owners will experience this at some stage in their pet’s life. Medical reasons for the inappropriate elimination are possible such as gastrointestinal upsets, urinary tract infections or endocrinological diseases such as Diabetes Mellitus. However, stress can certainly cause this to occur too. A full physical examination for your pet is critical at identifying the underlying cause and treating any medical issues that may be present. Ensure your cat always has access to a clean litter tray at all times and that if you have a multi cat household, there is an individual litter tray present for each cat, plus one extra.
