1. You need to choose a litter box that is suitable for cats. For example, young kittens should use a litter box with a lower outer edge to make it easier for them to crawl in and out. Adult cats don’t have to worry about this problem at all, and owners can choose whatever they want.

2. Cats are very hygienic animals, so never place the litter box near their food bowls and water bowls, otherwise they will simply ignore the litter box and look for other places to solve their internal problems.

3. After bringing the cats home, you must first let them stay in the litter box to adapt to the environment in the litter box and feel the texture of the cat litter. You can also use your fingers to turn the litter and show it to your cat to let them understand that urine and feces can be buried here. Especially for kittens, you have to put them in the litter box every time they wake up and after eating. Once you start using the litter box, you no longer have to worry about them going to other places to defecate. .

4. After putting the cat in the litter box, you'd better not stare at them all the time, otherwise they will feel scared. You can pretend to ignore their presence, or go to another room so that the cat can relax and defecate safely. In addition, you need to clean the cat's litter box every day, because cats don't want to step into a dirty place with nowhere to stay.

5. You need to note that you cannot punish the cat during the entire training process. Cats are very sensitive animals. They may only be punished once, and they will develop an infinite fear of the litter box. In the future, they will find places where they feel safe to defecate, such as your closet, under the bed, etc. In order for your cat to learn to use the litter box, you must have enough patience.
