How To
How to teach your cat to use the litterbox
While litter boxes can help reduce your pet's waste, they may not work 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.
-
Make sure the box has enough space for your cat to comfortably stand up straight inside without having to crouch down.
-
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.
-
Give your cat water as often as possible while he goes through his usual routine of toilet breaks. It will also help to keep him hydrated and less stressed about the box.
-
If your cat is used to living outdoors, avoid sudden movements or noises when you introduce the box to him.
-
Once he's comfortable with the idea of the box, praise him for correctly using it. You may even consider giving him treats, but only after he has completed his business.
-
Do not force your cat or kitten 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.
-
Your veterinarian should be contacted immediately if you notice any behavior changes in your cat, including aggression towards other animals or humans. This could indicate a more serious condition, such as a bacterial infection of the kidneys.
-
Don't forget to clean up after your cat, including the area surrounding the box.
