How To
How to teach your cat how to use the litter box
They are great for reducing waste from your pet, but not all cats like them. They are too small, or even wrong, for cats to feel comfortable in. In fact, they could end up spilling the waste all over the place and just leave it there.
To make sure you have the best chance of success when teaching your cat to use the litterbox, here are some things to keep in mind:
-
It is important that the cat can stand straight up inside the box.
-
Try to place it where your cat likes to go outside - if that doesn't happen naturally, try putting it near another room with a door leading outside.
-
Give your cat water as often as possible while he goes through his usual routine of toilet breaks. It will also help to keep him hydrated and less stressed about the box.
-
Introduce the box to your cat as soon as possible. Avoid sudden movements and loud noises, especially if you're already familiar with being outside.
-
Once he becomes comfortable with it, reward him by giving praise when he uses the box correctly. You might consider including treats in your reward, but these should be only given to him after he has done his business.
-
Do not force your cat or kitten to use the box.
-
Be patient! It might take several weeks before your cat uses the box every day. Be patient.
-
You should immediately contact your veterinarian if your cat is acting aggressively towards people or other animals. This could be a sign that your cat has a serious problem such as a kidney infection or a urinary tract condition.
-
Finally, remember to clean up after your cat daily, including the area around the box.
