Applying Cat Toilet Training

By Ram Collins


If you have a history of owning a pet cat, surely you know how it feels when you have to clean cat litters everywhere they go in your house. No one would ever want to do this kind of irksome activity. However if you were told about the strategies to never cleaning cat litters again, you would definitely be overjoyed the moment you know it.

When you want to shirk all those pestering cleaning of cat litters, cat toilet training is the perfect option to select. Through this training, you would be able to direct your cat from using the actual toilet instead of defecating or leaking in any portions of the house. By just flushing the litters, you have already saved a lot of energy compared to all those irrelevant cleanings. However to complete this goal, it takes some time, patience and motivation so you have to ascertain yourself that you can do it.

Step One: Changing the Litter Box's Location

To start the training, you must transfer the litter box from its original location to the bathroom where the cat's training will be performed. Make sure that the box is just beside the toilet and let your cat use it for a number of days. After a few days, gradually raise the litter box approximately two inches per day using your other items like magazines or books. Once the height of the box is congruent to the toilet seat's height, it is now time to shift your cat to the actual toilet. But first, you can put an aluminum pan above the bowl and allow the cat's litter to fill it up to a half inch. However, always verify that it can endure the weight of the cat.

Second Step: Moving your Cat to the Actual Toilet Seat

If the cat is already acquainted to the pan it is using, initiate on putting holes beneath the aluminum pan so that your cat will try to leave its paws on the seat. Once this is achieved, toilet training will be underway.

You can poke two holes on the tray in order for the cat to let its front paws stick to the toilet seat and poke more holes to let the back paws be used later as well. While on the process of poking holes, you can also reduce the content of litters in the pan until the cat has fully adjusted to go to the toilet minus the pan. When the time comes that your cat is able to stand on the toilet bowl, the pan can now be removed and the toilet training is finally complete.

This entire process of toilet training your cat will usually take two or three months to complete. If there come a point when your kitty begins using a corner of the room for her "duty" instead, you are probably trying to move her through the process too quickly. Simply back up a step or two and wait a week or so before trying again.

The moment your cat toilet training is completed, you will never be annoyed with all those superfluous cleanings of litter boxes again so it is best to maintain it.
