How to teach your cat to use the litterbox
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.
These are some of the things you should remember to ensure that your cat learns how to use the litter box.

Your cat should be able to stand straight in the box, without having to lean down.
-
It's best to place it where your cat would go outside.

If possible, give your cat access to water while he's going through his normal routine of bathroom breaks since keeping him hydrated will also help him feel less stressed about using the box.
-
Introduce the box to your cat as soon as possible. Avoid sudden movements and loud noises, especially if you're already familiar with being outside.
-
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.
-
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 might take several weeks before your cat uses the box every day. Be patient.

Your veterinarian should be contacted immediately if you notice any behavior changes in your cat, including aggression towards other animals or humans. This could be a sign of a serious condition such as a kidney disease or infection in the urinary tract.
