How To
How to teach a cat to use the litter box
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.
-
Your cat should be able to stand straight in the box, without having to lean 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.
-
You can give your cat water when he needs it. He will be less stressed about using the litter box if he is well hydrated.
-
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.
-
Your cat shouldn't be forced to use the box.
-
Be patient! It can take several months before your cat is able to use the box consistently.
-
Your veterinarian should be contacted immediately if you notice any behavior changes in your cat, including aggression towards other animals or humans. 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.
