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!

The Oriental Breed loves to please their owner so they will do anything to make you happy as long as you do the same for them.  If they don’t recieve the attention and affection that they live for; it shows through their actions.  They become sad and a bit mopey.  They are very in touch with their emotions.

Sphynx Cat

The Sphynx breed is a very active animal and craves lots of attention and affection.  They are very playful and active cats.  They are high maintenance in a few ways.  They need a weekly grooming routine due to their unusual characteristics.  They also tend to get cold pretty easily during the colder seasons so you have to keep them warm whether it be a sweater or some kind of heated pad.

The Sphynx gets along well with other pets and they do not shy away from people they don’t know.  They are very social and they like to be the center of attention.  The Sphynx Cat is very intelligent and easy to train.  The Sphynx breed have a life expectancy of up to 15 yrs.
