-
Make sure the box has enough space for your cat to comfortably stand up straight inside without having to crouch down.
-
You should place it so your cat can go outside.
-
If possible, give your cat access to water while he's going through his normal routine of bathroom breaks since keeping him hydrated will also help him feel less stressed about using 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 gets used to the idea, reward him with praise whenever he uses the box correctly. You may even consider giving him treats, but only after he has completed his business.
-
You shouldn't force your cat to use the litter box.
-
Be patient! You may need to wait several weeks before your cat begins using the box. Don't be discouraged if it takes longer than you expected.
-
You should immediately contact your veterinarian if your cat is acting aggressively towards people or other animals. This could indicate a more serious condition, such as a bacterial infection of the kidneys.
-
Finally, remember to clean up after your cat daily, including the area around the box.
