Cat Litter Training (Toilet Training)

Kittens are in the main easy to litter train. Indeed many learn by watching their mother before you collect them to bring them home. These are a few simple steps that will make sure your kitten uses the littler tray in very little time.

Simple steps to train a cat to use its litter tray

• Demonstrate where the litter tray is by placing the kitten in it and let him or her have a scratch and sniff around.
• Keep putting your kitten in the tray on a regular basis, particularly when he or she wakes up or after a meal.
• Keep the tray clean at all times. Because cats are naturally very clean they will refuse to use their tray if you let it get dirty. Beware though: don’t use strong detergents or other chemicals as they deter cats.
• Place the tray in a quiet spot. Cats like their privacy and do not like being watched or disturbed when they do their business.
• Do not punish a kitten for having an accident outside the tray. If you witness them, say ‘NO’ firmly and then place them into the tray. Make sure you praise him or her while he or she is in there.

What If My Cat Won’t Use The Litter Tray

Lack of cleanliness is the main culprit when a cat or kitten won’t use a litter tray. Cats do not like using a dirty litter tray. Old litter must be cleared on a regular basis.
There are other reasons why a cat may not use a litter tray. They include:
• The litter tray might be too clean! The smell of strong perfume or detergent can discourage a cat from using it.
• Cats are very choosy about the litter you use. Your cat or kitten may simply dislike the type you have chosen, due to the smell or texture. Experiment with the various different types of litter, or return to the previous litter if you have changed it recently.
• Stressed cats may sometimes choose not to use a litter tray. Stress can be caused by noises, unusual smells, new pets, ne people or even new furniture.
• Neutered cats are less likely to spray, but some male cats often mark their territory by spraying.
• Cats, who are creatures of habit. may return to a place they have previously used as a toilet. If this is an inappropriate place it is useful to make the area less desirable to the cat by
o Removing any toilet scent and cleaning the area. Vinegar & water is a good mixture to take away any odours.
o Place tin foil or plastic sheet over the area, as cats don’t like the feel or sound of walking over these type of surfaces.

    CDPOM/ Celebrate Pets are a great bunch of people. They have been looking after our cat for just about every period away from home for the last five years, from single days to a couple of weeks. They are really great with him and no extra seems too large for them from watering the plants to putting the bins out. We always get a text from them so that we know visits have started and comprehensive reports on what he's been like when we're away. Cannot recommend highly enough, completely reliable and they love our cat. What more could you want?

    As a customer for over 7 years and a regular traveller, I have been delighted with the service provided in looking after my home and pets. Easy and simple booking and payment process, prompt responses, and never a problem to arrange care for my cats even at very short notice. I have complete confidence in leaving my home and pets in their hands. They keep me updated while I'm away and even put a pint of milk in the fridge if I'm away for more than a few days.

    We are so pleased we found CDPOM as our cat, Lucy, was so distressed in the cattery. We have been using their services for several years now and have always found them extremely reliable and we are always confident that Lucy is in safe hands. From their reports, she seems to enjoy their visits and always looks well and happy when we return home. In addition, they always ensure that the house is left secure and how we left it. We would highly recommend them.

    Louise and all the team at CDPOM have been amazing. I have used them for many years to look after my dog and the team obviously love the animals. They have helped me out at short notice and also kept Molly for longer when I've been delayed. Louise also house sits which give me peace of mind that someone is around when I'm away and less stressful on Molly. Thanks again and cant recommend highly enough.

    So reliable, I would highly recommend Louise and her Cat visiting service. Going away can be quite stressful with cats, as they don't like the disruption of being moved elsewhere, or having strangers in the house. After trying a few things, I realised home visits is really the best way. It was hard to find a reliable service at first, after a few issues in the past, so CDPOM was a godsend. Louise has been looking after my cats for over 10 years, and she has removed the stress out of travelling, as I know my cat will be in good hands with her. Thanks Louise!
