How To
How to teach a cat how to use the litterbox
While litter boxes can help reduce your pet's waste, they may not work well 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.
-
It is important that the cat can stand straight up inside the box.
-
It's best to place it where your cat would go outside.
-
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.
-
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 gets used to the idea, reward him with praise whenever he uses the box correctly. You might consider including treats in your reward, but these should be only given to him after he has 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 can take several months before your cat is able to use the box consistently.
-
You should immediately contact your veterinarian if your cat is acting aggressively towards people or other animals. This could indicate a more serious condition, such as a bacterial infection of the kidneys.
-
Last but not least, make sure you clean up after your cat each day.
