How To
How to teach a cat to use the litter box
Although litter boxes can be great for reducing pet waste, they are not always a good choice 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.
-
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.
-
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 becomes comfortable with it, reward him by giving praise when he uses 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.
-
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! 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 indicate a more serious condition, such as a bacterial infection of the kidneys.
-
Don't forget to clean up after your cat, including the area surrounding the box.
