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 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.
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:
-
It is important that the cat can stand straight up inside the box.
-
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.
-
If your cat is used to living outdoors, avoid sudden movements or noises when you introduce the box to him.
-
Once he's comfortable with the idea of the box, praise him for correctly using it. You may even consider giving him treats, but only after he has completed his business.
-
You shouldn't force your cat to use the litter box.
-
Be patient! It might take several weeks before your cat uses the box every day. Be patient.
-
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 an indication of serious problems such as a urinary tract infection, kidney disease, or other health issues.
-
Last but not least, make sure you clean up after your cat each day.
