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 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.

  1. Make sure the box has enough space for your cat to comfortably stand up straight inside without having to crouch down.
  2. 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.
  3. Allow your cat to drink water during his regular routine of going to the bathroom. This will help reduce stress and anxiety about him using the box.
  4. You should avoid sudden movements and noises, especially if your cat is already used to being outside.
  5. 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.
  6. Your cat shouldn't be forced to use the box.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Last but not least, make sure you clean up after your cat each day.
