How To
How to teach a cat to use the litter box
While litter boxes can help reduce your pet's waste, they may not work well for cats. 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.
Here are some tips to help you ensure your cat uses the litterbox with the greatest success.
-
The box should have enough room for your cat to stand straight inside the box without having them crouch.
-
Place it in a place where your cat is most likely to be outside. If that doesn't happen, you can try placing it in a room with an outside door.
-
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.
-
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's comfortable with the idea of the box, praise him for correctly using it. You might even want to include treats in his rewards, though these should only be given after he's done his business.
-
Your cat shouldn't be forced to use the box.
-
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.
-
Contact your veterinarian immediately if your cat behaves aggressively towards animals or people. This could indicate a more serious condition, such as a bacterial infection of the kidneys.
-
Remember to clean up after your cat every day, including around the box.
