How To
How to teach a cat how 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 too small, or even wrong, for cats to feel comfortable in. In fact, they could end up spilling the waste all over the place and just leave it there.
Here are some suggestions to help ensure you have the best success with teaching your cat how to use the litterbox.
-
You should ensure that your cat can stand straight up in the box without having to bend down.
-
It is best to place it outside where your cat will go.
-
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.
-
Avoid making loud or sudden movements when you first introduce the cat to the box, especially if your cat has been outside for a while.
-
Once he has gotten used to it, praise him when he uses it 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 weeks before your cat starts using the box regularly, so don't worry if it takes longer than expected.
-
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.
