| Training Persians To Use The
Litter Box |
Persian
cats naturally look for
a place that they can dig and bury
their waste. Of course, you want the place they find to be the litter
box! That said, there are several tips to follow when training cats to
use the litter box and ensure that it is the only place they'll want to
go.
Make sure
you place the litter
box in a separate room from their eating
or sleeping area. All domestic cats are clean animals and
typically associate their litter box with a dirty area. If the litter
box is near the eating or sleeping area, they may naturally want to
find a bathroom place that is farther away.
Make
sure you keep the box in a place that is out of the way. Bathrooms and
closets are often private spots that cats will naturally want to use.
If
you are training a kitten, make sure the litter box is accessible to
them. If it's too high off the ground then forget about it! Getting a
special box that is close to the ground can speed up the house training
process for kittens.
Also,
if you catch a kitten in the act of house soiling, simply tell them
"no" and put them in the litter box. Do not punish them, as this will
not have a positive effect. Often times, punishment mixed with putting
them in the litter box causes cats to not want to use it!
Cat's
and kittens like to have a routine. Change in the ordinary can cause
stress. Therefore, make sure you keep the type of kitty litter
consistent. Also, you will want to use the same type of litter when
they are full grown cats. Changing the type of litter on them later may
cause your cat to stop using the litter box.
Of
course, keeping your cat's bathroom area clean is a must. You should
clean it at least once a day for each cat that you have. For example if
you have two cats, you should consider having a litter box for each cat
and cleaning each box once a day. If this is not practical, then you
should be cleaning the cat's shared litter box twice a day.
Cats
naturally want to bury their urine and excrement. Making it easier for
them to find a good place to do this, makes it easier to house train
your cat. Keep their bathroom area private and separate from other
feline activities. Make sure it is accessible, clean, and contains the
same type of kitty litter. If you keep these things in mind when
training cats to use the litter box, you will have far greater success. |
| Top Reasons For A Persian To Stop
Using The Litter Box |
One
of the most common reasons for a cat to stop using the litter box might
be due to a urinary tract infection. Signs of this might be frequent
urination, straining to urinate, or blood in the urine. If your cat is
showing these signs you should seek veterinarian assistance.
If
your cat has a really sudden behavior change and stops using the litter
also seek veterinary help because this might be due to a hormonal
problem.
If
your cat is older, your litter box might have sides that are too high
for your cat to jump in and out of the litter box comfortably. If you
have large heavy cat your litter box might be too small for it. There
can be many simple reasons why your cat has stopped using the litter
box, you just have to try and do some problem solving.
Some
other simple reasons why your cat might have stopped using the litter
box is because it was placed near a loud washing machine, or maybe the
door to the room where the litter box is was accidentally closed. |
| Litter Box Rules |
Keep the box in a quiet and safe place but don't hide it! Your cat
should able to find the litter box easily.
When
you notice your cat using it's litter box give it some kind of reward
afterwards. Keep rewarding the cat until you're sure it uses the litter
box regularly.
Another
effective house cat training method is to keep the litter box
relatively clean. Do not over do it! Scoop the box daily and wash it
weekly.
If
your catch your cat accidentally soiling your house do not punish your
pet. The punishing method will not work with cats. It will only make
them afraid of you. Try to find out why your cat didn't make use of the
litter box and try to figure out a solution. House cat training is not
always easy.
Try
not to change the brand of the litter. Cats do not like changes and may
respond by soiling the house.
Try
not to use scented litter as many cats hate that. They prefer their own
odors inside and around the litter box. |
