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 can be too small for cats, or simply wrong for them. This could lead to them smearing litter on the floor and leaving it there.
These are some of the things you should remember to ensure that your cat learns how to use the litter box.
-
You should ensure that your cat can stand straight up in the box without having to bend down.
-
Try to place it where your cat likes to go outside - if that doesn't happen naturally, try putting it near another room with a door leading outside.
-
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.
-
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 or kitten to use the box.
-
Be patient! It might take several weeks before your cat uses the box every day. Be patient.
-
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.
-
Don't forget to clean up after your cat, including the area surrounding the box.
