Why a Cat Is Naturally Clean

In the wild, cats know that the smell of their urine and droppings can help large predators find them. Covering his needs is therefore a gesture of survival that your cat naturally understands, provided that he has been "explained" how to do it! In principle, it is the mother who sets the example for her young. However, we know of many cases of non-weaned cats who have understood how to use their litter all alone: could this behavior be partly innate? Anyway, if your kitten can't do it in his litter box, he should be able to learn quickly!

Let’s discuss How to Get Cat to Use Litter Box in New House

Choosing a Good Litter Box for Your Kitten

The kittens are very small and have not yet acquired 100% of their mobility; also, it is important to choose a bin in which it can easily enter and exit. Some large trays such as the Figaro litter box have a low entrance which is very suitable for kittens, and which can be used until adulthood.

The Figaro Litter Box Is Ideal For Kittens and Adult Cats

Place the bin in a quiet part of the house, away from its bowl of water and food: cats are sensitive to odors and do not like to eat in their toilets! Don't hesitate to put some newspaper or a litter mat in front of the bin to keep the room cleaner.
Get your kitten used to a closed toilet house from an early age to limit bad odors and litter projections in the room. The Oscar toilet house is designed for the kitten.

Train Your Kitten to Use Litter Box

Some accidents can happen, but with a little patience, progress will be felt very quickly. Get in the habit of placing your kitten in litter box as soon as it wakes up, after meals or a play session, or as soon as it begins to sniff or scratch in a corner. These are the right times for him to do his business! After each success, do not forget to reward it with hugs, encouragement, or a treat.

A Clean and Well Maintained Cat Litter

Dirty litter (urine and droppings) should be collected and discarded daily. A shovel suitable for small holes will facilitate your work, especially if you choose a clumping plant litter. The Isis starter kit contains a special kitten litter box and other accessories for small cats. Let's go for the litter box training!
