Potty Training Your Cat

Tips For Potty Training Your Cat

 The first thing you will need to do before potty training your cat, is to buy a litter box that is suitable for a kitten. A good litter box should be made of hard plastic, and should have a low enough lip on it that your small kitten can still get inside. If you are unable to find a litter box that has a low enough lip for you kitten, it is recommended that you place a phone book beside the litter box, for your kitten to use as a stool.



The second most important part of potty training your cat is that litter you choose. There are two basic types of cat litter – clumping and non-clumping. Both types are equally effective, and it is entirely up to you, which one you use. We preferred the clumping type of cat litter, as it was much easier to keep the litter box clean. But the choice is up to you which to use when potty training your cat.

If socialization is the problem with your cat, then one of the most valuable cat training tips is quite simple, and just involves giving your cat more attention. The main reason that a cat grows up to be timid or shy is because they were not given enough love growing up. You can socialize a cat by playing with them for at least a couple hours a day and by grooming them on a regular basis.

There are many other cat training tips that you can use to help your cat and make them healthy and happy. Just remember to never get frustrated with your pet, but rather have patience and work with them until you get the results that you are looking for. Cats make wonderful pets and can be trained quite easily as long as you are willing to put a bit of time and effort into the process.

Fill the litter box you have chosen for potty training your cat with about two inches of sand. Or, if the litter box is not high enough for two inches, a good rule of thumb is to fill the litter box about a third of the way full with cat litter.  Also be sure that you have a good, quality scoop to use for cleaning out the clumps of soiled litter and feces. These scoops are typically sold right next to the litter boxes in most stores.
