Potty Training Your Cat

Filed under: Cats, Living with Cats — shae @ 3:10 pm

If you have an inside cat or it doesn’t have access to the outside at all times, I suggest you potty train them with a litter box.  They must be taught where to find there litter box and it needs to be kept clean.  They may not use their litter box if it’s not cleaned out regularly.  The location of the litter box is important as well.  Most importantly, your cat needs to feel comfortable with the location. cat-train-77.jpg
Once you have decided where to place the litter box, pick your cat up and place it in the clean litter box a few times so they know where to find it.  You should not place it by their food and water as they do not like to eat right by where they soil.   Make sure you have the right amount of litter in there for your cat so they feel okay using it.  2-4 inches of litter is average when potty training your cat.  You should keep it at this level even after you clean it.  Cats can be very picky.  They are constantly cleaning themselves as they are very clean animals.

However, they can’t clean their own litter boxes so they need some help from you!

Kenni Rae’s Page

This is Kenni’s Cat Page….

Kenni was born in my closet just about 11 years ago… She is a domestic short haired tortoise shell cat. She was by far the most beautiful of all the other kittens of the litter. Her hair is short and soft like a chinchilla. She has vibrant green eyes that really stand out on sunny days.

She likes to come and go as she pleases….what cat doesn’t.

Always a peaceful little girl…but she still has her feisty moments.

Her favorite place to hang out is the basement if she’s not outside…
Kenni is a very sweet cat. It takes a while for her to warm up to new people, especially other cats but when she finally does, she’ll be your little sidekick. She’s still very playful at 11 yrs. She has little mini soccer balls that she loves to boot around. Keeping those out around the house keeps her pretty active. I go on walks around the neighborhood and she loves to come along…she follows right by my feet. She’s great about doing her business outside, that’s what she prefers. I love to nap with her because she will cuddle right up to you and sleep as long as you do. I’m so happy to have her as my little companion.

This is Milly’s Cat Page….

Milly was born as a barn cat some time near January 2000… She is a short haired little girl cat. We like to think she has the markings of a snow leopard. She will be 9 years old this coming January - 2009.

We got lucky with Milly being such a good cat. As you can see in the picture above, she loves the dogs. She prefers to do her business outside. She is a dependable cat always there waiting for you when you get home. One of the best things about Milly is that she is a short haired cat and she really doesn’t shed much compared to her older sister Kenny.
