How to Train your Cat in the Litter Box !!

 One of the most common complaints that cat breeders suffer from is that their cats do not adhere to the location of the bathroom or litter box, but there are ways to train cats to adhere to the location of the bathroom or litter box. !!

There are two types of cats that do not adhere to their designated bathroom spot, whether in the sand or in the bathroom. 
The first type is when you bring an old cat who was not accustomed to the place of the bathroom before, and this is difficult to teach, but it can be dealt with and be patient with time.

"The second type is that the cat was surprised after he was accustomed to sand or pigeons, wandering around the house and leaving his droppings anywhere. This type is due to a psychological factor in cats such as":

1-desire to get attention 
2-Mating request (male cats)
3-Persecuted by bigger cats
4-An antisocial cat who is afraid to come out of hiding
5- The cat hates the sand being full of litter and it smells bad

How to get your cat back to spend its need in the litter box?

Cats instinctively recognize sand and begin to dig inside it and relieve themselves, and then try to hide the smell of their droppings by filling it with sand or dirt.

If you want your cat to get used to peeing in the sand, it will be easy, but you have to be patient for some time.

1- You have to draw her attention to the place of sand on her first day at home.

2- It is preferable to add two sandboxes for the cat to choose the right place, which is often out of sight and a quiet place.

3- At first she will spend her needs outside the box, do not rush, just put your cat on the sand and hold her hand and teach her to dig.

4- Put a little of the rest of the excrement in the sand, it will recognize its smell and will understand that this is the right place to eliminate the need. 

Time and time again, you will get used to the sandbox and save its place.

You should use a clean type of sand so that it

is not loaded with microbes that will harm your pets.

Cats refuse to defecate in dirty litter filled with foul-smelling litter. Change the litter every 1-2 days so as not to allow microbes to grow in the litter and contaminate the litter.

How your cat used to use the bathroom?

We recommend first training the cats on the sand, and then gradually training them on the toilet.

1- Move the sandbox in the bathroom near the place where you want him to relieve himself until he gets used to the new place and saves it.

2- Gradually raise the sandbox high up to the length of the pigeon and secure it so that it does not vibrate from its place when the cat jumps on it, and reduce the amount of sand each time.

3- Place the sandbox over the bathroom with a light layer of sand in it.

4- Replace the litter box with a cat toilet training kit, which can be found in pet supply stores or can be purchased online. 

You can make it yourself at home by installing a sturdy plastic tray or tarpaulin that will bear the weight of the cat

5- Remove a circular part from the center (from the training set or tarpaulin), reducing the sand periodically as you notice your pet's response.

6- Remove the parts so that they can expand to the size of the bathroom circle.

-  Reward the cat after every time he urinates in the right place after you have trained him.

8- Clean the bathroom well after the cat to be safe and clean for use.

Disadvantages of using cats bathroom:

1 -This method is different from the nature of the cats we talked about in digging and filling the litter.

2-Contamination of waste water with Toxoplasma microbe eggs, which can multiply in the water and be a source of infection for workers.

3-Source of infection for family members sharing the same bathroom.

4-When the bathroom is closed or someone else is inside, the cat will relieve himself  elsewhere
