How To
How to teach a Cat To Use The Litter Box
Although litter boxes can be great for reducing pet waste, they are not always a good choice for cats. They are often too small or just plain wrong for cats to be comfortable in. Cats may end up spreading the litter all over the floor and then leaving it.
Here are some suggestions to help ensure you have the best success with teaching your cat how to use the litterbox.
-
The box should have enough room for your cat to stand straight inside the box without having them crouch.
-
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.
-
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.
-
When you first introduce the box to your cat, try to avoid making sudden noises or movements, especially if he's already been accustomed to being outdoors.
-
Once he gets used to the idea, reward him with praise whenever he uses the box correctly. He might be tempted to receive treats as a reward. However, these should not be given until he has finished his business.
-
Do not force your cat to use the box. If he refuses, ignore him and let him go until he changes his mind.
-
Be patient! It can take several months before your cat is able to use the box consistently.
-
If you notice any changes in your cat's behavior, such as aggression towards humans or animals, contact your veterinarian immediately. This could be a sign that your cat has a serious problem such as a kidney infection or a urinary tract condition.
-
Keep your cat clean and tidy, especially around the litter box.
