If your cat makes a mess on the carpet, rub her nose in it.

Wrong – this will not only confuse your cat but also scare her off.

Possible causes are:

• Health Problems - Urinating is sometimes the only way for a cat to tell you that something is wrong with her. Listen to her!
• The litter box is too dirty. 
• Your cat doesn't like hooded or open litter boxes. 
• Your cat disapproves of the location of the litter tray (might be too busy, too loud, too dark, too light, you name it! Cats are vulnerable while going potty, keep that in mind).

Cats can have cow's milk

Wrong - Most cats and kittens are lactose intolerant. Feeding them milk will result in diarrhea which is especially dangerous to baby kittens that can dehydrate quickly and even die. Always use the commercial milk replacer. There is no valid reason for an adult cat to have to drink milk at all.

My female cat should have one litter before she is spayed

Wrong – Research has proven that it is better to have her spayed before 6 months of age to prevent an unwanted pregnancy.
