Hello fellow feline friends
I noticed a couple days ago a couple tiny black ants behind the side of my kitty cat's litter box and used a solution of vinegar and water to spray and get rid of them. The ant situation has continued on and I continue spraying. Today, my kitty cat who has been loyal to and very good about his kitty litter box pooped outside the box in my living room corner near his cat scratching post shortly after I did another vinegar spray.
He has never done this before, and so I am sure the vinegar scent is repelling my kitty boy and do not want him to think that he can't go to his litter box and can go poop in the living room.
Any suggestions to naturally get rid of ants while not repelling the scent to my kitty cat to use his box? I've been reading up on ant traps that have borax and, luckily, this is behind the radiatior where I can probably tape the ant trap and away from my kitty cat, but I do not want to take any chances to put my Ricky kitty in harm's way.
Please help as I do not want it to be an ongoing situation that Ricky poops outside the box! Thanks so much!
Have a good day and Happy Holidays!
Keep smilin',
