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 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.
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:
-
Make sure the box has enough space for your cat to comfortably stand up straight inside without having to crouch down.
-
It's best to place it where your cat would go 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.
-
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 also consider offering treats to your client, but only after you've completed your business.
-
Don't force your cat into using the box; if he refuses to do so, ignore him and leave him alone until he decides to change his mind.
-
Be patient! You may need to wait several weeks before your cat begins using the box. Don't be discouraged if it takes longer than you 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 of a serious condition such as a kidney disease or infection in the urinary tract.
-
Remember to clean up after your cat every day, including around the box.
