How to toilet train a cat

Attached are step-by-step instructions on how to do this.

• Getting to know the restroom 

To begin with, in order to accustom a cat to the toilet, you must teach it not to be afraid of it and all the noises associated with it. Leave the door to the toilet open so that the pet can freely enter the room. Let him get used to the sound of the water. To do this, being near and calming, flush the water. The cat must learn not to be afraid of noise, otherwise you will never achieve your goal. Talk to her, cheer her up. The main goal now is to show that nothing threatens her in the toilet room and that all noises are safe.

• We transfer the tray to the toilet

If the tray was not installed in the toilet, it’s time to move it there and put it near the toilet. Next, we make sure that the pet does all its business where it is necessary.

• We increase the height

Once your pet is using the litter box consistently, gradually begin to raise the height of the litter box and hold each level for at least 3-4 days. The ultimate goal: to teach the cat to the toilet, you need to raise the tray to its level. Turn on your imagination and think about what you can use as a stand. It must be strong and stable so that the tray does not stagger and nothing bothers the cat. The initial maximum height for the tray is 20 cm from the floor.

• Watching the reaction

If you raised the tray and the pet stopped walking in it, lower it lower or return it to its previous level. After the cat begins to confidently use it, try lifting it higher again.

• Tray – on the toilet lid

When the tray is raised to the level of the toilet, make it a rule to lower the lid and place the tray on it. This is an important stage at which it is desirable to stay longer. Let the pet learn to calmly jump in and use the tray.

• Facilitating Access

To make it easier to accustom the cat to the toilet, put a “step” (a bench or a box) next to it: it will be easier for her to jump.

• Gradually remove the filler

The next task is to abandon the filler. Remove it gradually, it will no longer be useful.

• Opening the lid

If your pet is already perfectly comfortable using the tray on the toilet lid, it’s time to remove the tray and lift the lid! Now you have to make sure that she is always raised, otherwise the pet can do all his business right on her.

• Little tricks

If you teach a cat to the toilet and in the process of work she still “made a bunch” in the wrong place and was caught committing a crime, put the “deed” in the toilet and lock the pet in the toilet for a few minutes. If desired, use assistants to train the cat to the toilet. Pet stores sell special pads for this purpose.

• Сonclusion

Well, now brag to the guests about your smart pet, not forgetting to mention your own talents in education!
