When you get a feline one thing that you want to make sure you do is potty train your car. You don't want your house to smell like cat waste, so having a set place for your cat to use the toilet keeps your home smelling like home. Cats are naturally clean animals and want to keep their areas clean. You can find many Cat Training Tips that tell you how train your cat to go to the bathroom in the same place.
One of those Cat Training Tips is to immediately show your cat where you keep the litter box. When you get home, you should put your kitty right into the litter box. Your kitty might not use the little box that moment, but he or she will know where it is. If your cat does not use the litter box right away, you should pay attention the them so that you can put them into the litter box when they show signs of having to go to the bathroom. That way your cat uses that litter box for the first time and associates it with elimination.
Other Cat Training Tips say to not punish your cat if they have an accident. You cat does not understand why you are punishing them. Putting one of their feces into the litter box will associate that smell with the litter box, prompting them to use the box. You should make sure that you scoop your litter box at least every other day, more often if you have multiple cats. You should also make sure that you have at least 2 inches of cat litter in the box, because cats like to scratch in the litter to cover their waste.
There are some cats who are trained to use the toilet to go to the bathroom. The Cat Training Tips suggest that you get someone who has some experience in training cats to train your cat to do that, as it can be tricky. Other people train their feline to use a cat door so that they can go outside to use the bathroom. If you choose to do this, pay attention to your cat and watch for those signs that they are about to go to the bathroom, and show them the cat door and urge them to use it.
Probably the dream of every cat owner is that of having a pet which knows how to use the toilet, in order to be read of the trouble of cleaning after it each time it goes to the litter box or even worse, in the house.
