Cats are very smart animals. Cats themselves love to clean and excrete in fixed places. Training cats to use the toilet The toilet is very easy. If the toilet at home is a squat toilet, you only need to remove the cat litter box and tie the cat to the squat toilet. The cat can be taught to excrete in the squat toilet in two or three days. Kittens that have just arrived at home at 3 or 4 months old only need to Pay attention to its excretion behavior and you can teach it almost immediately. If it is a toilet, the training time will be slightly longer. At first, you can gradually move the cat litter box towards the toilet, and then place it in the toilet, making sure to place it firmly. Gradually reduce the amount of cat litter every day, and finally remove the litter box. Patient induction is required. The entire training process takes about half a month.

2. The use of cat litter box

Generally speaking, cats have a natural tendency to bury their own feces, and most cats will instinctively find the litter box on their own. Poop in the sand basin (or sand, soil, furnace ashes, etc.) and bury the poop after defecation. There are also some cats that learned to use cat litter after watching their mothers "use the toilet" when they were young. Since newborn kittens cannot poop on their own and rely on the mother cat to lick the feces out with her tongue, kittens that leave their mothers very early may not be able to use cat litter. At this time, It’s up to cat parents and cat mothers to teach their kittens how to use the litter box.

Principles for placing cat litter boxes: When placing cat litter boxes, you should choose a quiet and private place with good ventilation that is not often visited by humans. Try to stay away from the cat’s nest and food utensils, because cats also I don’t want it to go to the toilet where it eats, or if there is exposureThe balcony of your home is an ideal location for a cat litter box.

If the cat excretes in a place where it should not excrete, the owner should use toilet paper to transfer the excrement into the litter box (if it is urine, absorb the urine into the toilet paper and put it into the litter box), and hold the cat to the litter box. In the basin, let it smell its own excrement and use your hands to grab the cat's paws and dig the litter to cover the excrement. Never reprimand a cat. Cats are rebellious animals and may develop a rebellious mentality. Instead, you should gently praise the cat when you teach it how to bury sand. If it does well, reward it appropriately. Remember.

If an accident occurs (the cat urinates and defecates), don’t give up easily, persist and have confidence. Don't punish the cat, don't force it. If it does well, encourage it and reward it (spiritually and materially).

Cats that are easy to train like to please their owners, are more courageous, and are more adaptable. If a cat is very independent and has its own way of doing things, and knows that you want it to use the toilet (all cats know this), but refuses to go, it will be difficult to train. Qiaoqiao is a maverick cat. If the cat is timid and cautious, he may resist using the toilet because he is afraid of falling.
