How To
How to teach a Cat To Use The Litter Box
The litter boxes are great for keeping your pet's waste under control, but they can't be used well by cats. They may find it difficult for cats to use, as they might end up getting too comfortable or wrong.
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:
-
The box should have enough room for your cat to stand straight inside the box without having them crouch.
-
You should place it so your cat can go outside.
-
Your cat should have access to water at all times, even if it's not possible. It will make him less anxious about using the box.
-
Avoid making loud or sudden movements when you first introduce the cat to the box, especially if your cat has been outside for a while.
-
Once he has gotten used to it, praise him when he uses it correctly. You might even want to include treats in his rewards, though these should only be given after he's done his business.
-
Your cat shouldn't be forced to use the 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.
-
Contact your veterinarian immediately if your cat behaves aggressively towards animals or people. This could be a sign that your cat has a serious problem such as a kidney infection or a urinary tract condition.
-
Last but not least, make sure you clean up after your cat each day.
