Cat Toilet
Training
Initially, cat toilet trainers should know that cats learn
one trick at a time. Changes are made after a first trick is
mastered. A cats' motto: "Slowly but surely." The capacity of
cats to learn differ and so are expectations, control them to
avoid disappointment.
Consider the kind of cat to be potty trained. There are
pampered, indoor, and spoiled cats. These types are the ones
can be toilet trained. It is vital to maintain a house that
does not smell like there is a cat living in it.
Follow these steps on how to effectively toilet train cats:
1. Start by placing the cat's litter box near the bathroom
door. He should know the new location and uses the litter box
as usual.
2. After about a week, put something underneath the potty
trainer to elevate it. It could be a bunch of old newspapers,
cardboard boxes, or floor mats.
3. Raise the litter box an inch higher every other day until it
reaches the level of the toilet seat.
4. At the start of the training, the cat just steps onto the
litter box as usual until it slowly jumps up and down from
it.
5. Lift the toilet lid up in order for the cat to learn how to
tromp with only the seat to step on.
6. Next, move the potty trainer above the toilet seat. Leave it
this way for a week or two.
7. The most exciting part: remove the litter box from the
toilet bowl but put down the metal bowl inside. Put a few
litters for cat's recognition of purpose.
8. Once the cat is used to using the toilet bowl, tutor him on
how to squat the right way and that is holding the legs for the
correct posture as often as possible until mastered. If the cat
has his all fours on the toilet seat, begin by holding the two
legs in front.
9. As soon as he knows how to squat properly, lift the hinds
out. Assist the cat as he learns how to balance in that
position.
10. Start removing the litter from the metal bowl. Now put
water at the bottom and increase the contents everyday.
11. Once the feline is already comfortable with the water in
the metal bowl, take it all off the toilet bowl.
Cat toilet training is a slow process. Time and effort are
invested to obtain a kitty litter free house. Not only does an
owner get rid of the ghastly chore of cleaning the litter but
get more time to enjoy the cat’s company.
