Cat Tips - Litter Training |
Rest assured, litter box training should be easy for you and your kitten. Most kittens naturally feel the urge to dig in litter as early as 4 weeks. If you interfere with your kitten while he's in the litter box, he may develop an aversion to using it. Be patient. Instinct will guide your kitten or cat to developing good litter box habits.
Most kittens will act instinctively in the litter box; however there are some things you can do to encourage good litter box habits:
- Place the litter box in quiet location that your cat can access at all times - Always keep the litter box clean, scoop daily - Change the litter often at least once a week - Avoid cleaning the litter box with strong cleaners since the odors may repel him - Place your kitten in the litter box upon wakening and after meals. - Praise him lavishly to reinforce the fact that he's been good - Avoid using scented litters cat's don't like strong smells and may me repelled by the smell - Don't move his litter box unless absolutely necessary - Give each cat his own litter boxLabels: Cat Tips |
