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're often too small (or just plain wrong) for them to get comfortable in, and they may end up smearing the mess around the floor and leaving it there.
These tips will help you make the most of teaching your cat to use a litter box.
-
The box should have enough room for your cat to stand straight inside the box without having them crouch.
-
Place it in a place where your cat is most likely to be outside. If that doesn't happen, you can try placing it in a room with an outside door.
-
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 is comfortable with the idea, you can reward him with praise for using the box correctly. You may even consider giving him treats, but only after he has completed 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.
-
If you notice any changes in your cat's behavior, such as aggression towards humans or animals, contact your veterinarian immediately. This could be an indication of serious problems such as a urinary tract infection, kidney disease, or other health issues.
-
Keep your cat clean and tidy, especially around the litter box.
