How to teach a cat to go to the toilet: the way that works

There is nothing sweeter, softer, and warmer than a striped striped pet, and many are not able to give up the happiness that domestic cats give us. However, often an apartment in which a furry predator lives can be predetermined by smell, and in especially neglected cases, this method can also identify its owner. We will tell you how to teach a cat to go to the toilet, and you will forget about the problem of cat litter forever.

Teaching methods

Preparatory stage

So, you decided to buy a four-legged friend, went around the familiar cat owner or visited the pet shop, and here's the kitten in your home.

How to start learning?

Note! First of all, you should accustom the cat to the tray, do not immediately try to seat it on the toilet - it will not work.

• First you need to choose a roomy and convenient tray.
• Do not look at the miniature size of your Murzik, it will quickly grow, and if the tray is small, it will be uncomfortable in it.
• Another problem is also possible: the animal will place the paws in the tray, and the priest will be above the rim or not at all outside the tank (who in this case will work with a rag - you don’t need to be reminded).

• Now an important point: you should immediately install the tray in the toilet, preferably closer to the toilet. The door to the bathroom should always be open, you can also leave a burning light there.
• At first your pupil will walk on the floor in any place that he likes.
• When you notice a puddle or a pile, do not rush to throw it out: take a small amount of filler or tear a little newspaper, soak it in a puddle, and add it to the tray, mixing it with the bulk of the filler. So you designate a toilet like a kitten's smell.

Note! You should not dunk a cat in a poop, shout at it or beat it, it will not give anything. An animal does not understand such hints, at best it will come to the conclusion that it is bad to dip your nose into your own feces, but it knows it without you.

• After the smell settled in the tray, you should often bring the cat there, but do it gently and unobtrusively.
• It is especially good if you notice anxiety on the part of the pet, see how he is looking for something, sniffing around, often sits down and sits on the floor: take it and carry it to the toilet, sit in the tray, scrape the filler with your hands and his foot.

• Gradually, the baby will become accustomed to the tank with a filler, will begin to recognize it by smell and will get used to walking to a specially designated place. At this preparation is considered complete.

Note! Remember once and for all: in front of you is not just a child, but also a beast that does not understand the human language, hints, is not able to build logical chains and draw conclusions. The animal is guided exclusively by innate and acquired instincts, the formation of which takes time and patience.

Toilet schooling

When the baby is used to the tray and has grown a bit (up to 3 - 4 months), you can proceed to the next stage of training. We will use the method developed by professional veterinarians and zoologists who know better than others how to teach a kitten to go to the toilet.

This method is based on a gradual and gradual schooling, requires patience and exact following the procedure, which requires instruction.

So, the process is divided into many stages:

1. Gradually, within 10 - 14 days, raise the tray to the level of the toilet seat toilet seat.. At first we enclose newspapers or books, then cardboard boxes can be used, the main thing is that the capacity is stable and the design does not crumble;

1. If at some height the cat began to resist and is capricious, you can go back a step.. The main thing is not to insist and not be stubborn, it can discourage the animal from going to the toilet room;

1. The tray is at the same height as the toilet.. It is necessary to give two or three days to fix the result. Let the cat get comfortable and get used to the height and surrounding objects;

1. Now you can arrange the capacity of one half on the stand, and the other - on the toilet seat. It is important to fix the tray as steadily as possible so that the pupil is not afraid of falling and feels calm and confident. This situation remains for another 2 - 3 days;

1. Now rearrange the tray on the toilet seat. You can fix it with double-sided tape or come up with anchorage, but it should not fall under any circumstances. We leave the toilet in this place for several days, simultaneously reducing the height of the stand, so that the animal is accustomed to jumping on the rim;

1. Now the crucial moment: remove the tray from the toilet bowl, lift the lid, take a piece of flexible plastic (buy at a hardware store) and fasten it on the toilet seat. Pour a filler in the middle of the strip. The cat will try to sit on a strip, but it will sag, and he will be forced to sit on the rim;

1. After two or three days we make a small hole in the middle of the strip, around which we fill the filler.. So our pet will get used to the water and will no longer be afraid of the open toilet bowl in the toilet.

1. After another two days, increase the hole and reduce the amount of filler.. The plastic will gradually disappear, and imperceptibly your pupil will be on a practically empty toilet seat;

1. Finally, the hole in the plastic takes up almost all of its area, there is no filler, the cat walks down the toilet calmly and confidently. You can remove the plastic imitation - training successfully completed.

Note! You shouldn’t trust network stories from the “teach a cat to go to the toilet” series, since animals can have very different character and habits, and the method we described was developed by experts as the most common and universal.

To facilitate the process, a special simulator for toilet training can be purchased at the pet store.

This is a special tray that is easily and securely mounted on the toilet bowl, and also has a label for the gradual enlargement of the holes. The price of the product is low, and convenience and time saving are quite substantial.
