My Cat is Digging Up the Yard

broken image

Did you know that cats like to dig? They love to dig in areas where they can really sink in their paws and stretch out their claws. It’s a natural instinct for cats. They also like to use the yard as their open litter box and may dig a hole to cover up their potty. This can be devastating if they choose your garden as their potty box. You can help deter your cat from this bad habit by placing a litter box outdoors away from the areas where he’s digging. Or place it next to the areas where he’s digging to encourage him to use the litter box instead. You can also use motion detector sprinklers that will turn on when the cat approaches. This will keep him away. Some owners have used a citrus scented spray or placed orange and lemon pills in the area to deter cats. Talk to your vet clinic Marietta, GA for more tips.
