Providing great scratching posts in the right spots, doing what you can
to help your cat with stress, and making sure all the cats in your home have plenty of
access to the resources of
litter boxes, food, water, beds, scratching posts, and playtime with you can all help solve this problem.
If your cat is very shy you may want
to keep them confined
to their own room, limiting their
access to the entire house, unless you can
provide supervision and ensure they can
access their
litter box, food and water.
