How to teach a cat to use the litter box
Litter boxes are great at reducing your pet's waste, but they don't always work out well 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 tips to help you ensure your cat uses the litterbox with the greatest success.
-
Make sure the box has enough space for your cat to comfortably stand up straight inside without having to crouch down.
-
It is best to place it outside where your cat will go.
-
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 is comfortable with the idea, you can reward him with praise for using 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 or kitten to use the box.
-
Be patient! It can take several weeks before your cat starts using the box regularly, so don't worry if it takes longer than expected.
-
You should contact your veterinarian immediately if you observe any changes in your cat’s behavior such as aggression towards other people or 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.
