Cat problems come in many different forms, but most of them can be categorized as behavioral problems. Cat behavior problems are one of the most common reasons why cats are given up to shelters each year, but it doesn't have to be that way.
Cat problems usually are broken down into two categories, either aggression or litter box related problems. Almost all problems with cats fit into these two categories.
Aggression problems include, biting the owner, nipping at your toes, scratching, and hissing. Feline aggression problems are usually solved with play therapy. It is usually a simple matter of just retraining your cat to bite toys and not you.
Litter box problems involve everything form urine on carpets, to spraying, to not covering their feces. This is a broad category and there are specific solutions to each individual problem.
For spraying and marking problems, usually neutering or scent masking will work. For litter box problems the solution could simply be getting a larger litter box and avoiding automated cat litter boxes. Self-cleaning cat litter boxes are usually too small for large cats. Also the noise associated with these machines scares many cats away.
Cat problems are very common. Whenever dealing with these issues, it is important to find out why your cat is doing this rather than just trying to cover up the mistakes.
By educating yourself about cat behavior problems you can easily solve most behavior problems by yourself at home. In rare cases it would be good to seek veterinary help.
