How To
How to teach a cat how to use the litterbox
They are great for reducing waste from your pet, but not all cats like them. 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.
To make sure you have the best chance of success when teaching your cat to use the litterbox, here are some things to keep in mind:
-
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.
-
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.
-
When you first introduce the box to your cat, try to avoid making sudden noises or movements, especially if he's already been accustomed to being outdoors.
-
Once he is comfortable with the idea, you can reward him with praise for using 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.
-
Your cat shouldn't be forced to use the box.
-
Be patient! Be patient! It may take several weeks for your cat to start using the box on a regular basis.
-
If you notice any changes in your cat's behavior, such as aggression towards humans or animals, contact your veterinarian immediately. This could indicate something serious like a urinary tract infection or kidney disease.
-
Don't forget to clean up after your cat, including the area surrounding the box.
