How to train your cat to use the litter box? Tips for Properly Guiding Your Cat to the Litter Box

The whiny meow of a cute little kitten always tickles the heart. In order to make the kittens more pro-owner, some people take the kittens away from their moms too early, and the consequences of such a take away may result in the kittens not knowing how to use the litter and peeing and pooping everywhere. It causes a lot of trouble for everyone.

How about teaching a kitten to go potty?

Usually, most cats use the litter box by instinct and bury their feces. Cats are naturally cautious and used to hide their smell, and this skill is taught by their mothers. Like some stray cats, cats that left home too early and did not learn this skill from their mothers are likely to not be able to use the cat litter properly. If they can’t use the cat toilet, they will poop everywhere. At this point, it’s up to all the pooper scoopers to patiently teach the kitties to use the cat toilet.

1. Preparation for training

Litter box, cat litter, litter control board (optional)

2. Training methods

1. Place the cat toilet in a quieter location. Take care to keep it away from the dining place. A balcony with sealed windows and placing the litter box on the balcony is best.

2. The height should be appropriate, if the cat is too small to get on the litter box, put a mat in front of the litter box. The litter box should not be too big.

3. After the cat has pooped, use paper towels to collect the excrement into the cat litter box and put the kitten into the box, let it smell its own excrement and gently hold its paw to teach it to dig up the litter to cover the feces, and gently tell it that this is the toilet.

3. If the cat ever fixes to pee or poop on a floor that is not a cat toilet, choose a pet-specific disinfectant water and deodorizer to spray. If it is not cleaned up, the cat will think it is OK to go to the toilet in the location where it urinated or pooped before. And form a habit.

PS:

1,do not yell or scolding, drag the cat to the “crime scene” scolding is not useful.

2,older cats learn much faster than kittens

3,try to choose bentonite clay as the first part of the cat’s learning, which is the best kind of cat litter for the touch of the cat group.
