How To
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 may find it difficult for cats to use, as they might end up getting too comfortable or wrong.
These are some of the things you should remember to ensure that your cat learns how to use the litter box.
-
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.
-
Allow your cat to drink water during his regular routine of going to the bathroom. This will help reduce stress and anxiety about him using the box.
-
If your cat is used to living outdoors, avoid sudden movements or noises when you introduce the box to him.
-
Once he has gotten used to it, praise him when he uses it correctly. You might consider including treats in your reward, but these should be only given to him after he has done 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.
-
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.
