Cats are very intelligent and, above all, very clean animals that will relieve themselves in a quiet area that is also clean. For this reason, they usually learn by themselves to use their sandbox, but in which cases they may need a little help, especially if they are very young.
Read on to know how to teach the cat to use the litter tray.
The first thing to keep in mind is that the sandbox must be clean, since otherwise it will not do its necessities there no matter how much we insist. Therefore, if you have another cat I recommend that buy a second tray, which will be that of the kitten, and that you put it in a separate room.
You can fill it with any cat litter. In pet stores you will find several types: bentonite, silica, ... and at different prices. From my own experience, I can tell you that the cheapest are those that, at the end of the month, turn out to be the most expensive, since they do not absorb as much or as well, making the tray very dirty and having to clean it much more often; On the contrary, if you use a face, you have to remove the feces and urine every day of course, but when you go to clean the tray - which is done once a week - you can reuse the clean sand.
Returning to the topic at hand, for a cat to quickly learn where it should go to relieve itself we have to take him to his sandbox every time he eats. We may have to wait a few minutes, or even have to leave the room because of being uncomfortable, but in the end you will learn. Then we just have to give him a cat treat for his good behavior.
If you see that it costs you, you can use a urination attractant for sale in pet stores. Once you have it, spray on the sand and the furry will end up understanding that this is where he should relieve himself.
