Monday evening my little boy accidentally closed the door to where we keep our cat litter boxes in the basement. This week I started a new job, my kids have been back to school, and it’s been so hectic that I didn’t even notice until this morning. We were so busy and late getting home on Tuesday that I thought I could skip a scoop this one day.
So our 3 cats have been blocked from using their litter boxes for 2 nights and 1 whole day. I feel so awful for them and guilty that I didn’t check it yesterday. They rushed into the boxes as soon as I opened the door this morning. They have never had any accidents before and now I am worried that this may trigger them to not using their boxes anymore.
Before I left for work this morning I noticed 2 poop accidents on our kitchen rug. I did a quick check through the house and didn’t notice anymore accident spots, but I didn’t have time to be thorough. I am hoping it’s all contained to that rug and not our bedrooms.
Any advice on this situation? Will I need to retrain them? Will the old pee/poop spots make them get the urge to go in those spots again?
