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 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.
Here are some suggestions to help ensure you have the best success with teaching your cat how to use the litterbox.
-
The box should have enough room for your cat to stand straight inside the box without having them crouch.
-
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.
-
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.
-
You should avoid sudden movements and noises, especially if your cat is already used to being outside.
-
Once he has gotten used to it, praise him when he uses it correctly. You may even consider giving him treats, but only after he has completed 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 be an indication of serious problems such as a urinary tract infection, kidney disease, or other health issues.
-
Don't forget to clean up after your cat, including the area surrounding the box.
