A cat who has become accustomed to going to the toilet on the street or a taken street will also have to be accustomed to a plastic cuvette. In this article, speech is about getting rid of ways that will help the owner to accustom an adult cat to swallow.
Selecting a place for the toilet
Everyone knows that cats are delicate creatures. They prefer the secluded places and corners for the latrine. Therefore, in the house for the tray, it is necessary to adapt such a place, hidden from prying eyes. In the apartment, the most suitable place for a cat's tray is the toilet, bathroom, balcony, and balcony (if they are insulated). Do not forget that cats should not go to the tray any time of day.
Please note that it is not recommended to place a cat's toilet in the kitchen or hallway. This is unhygienic in relation to the cat and the whole apartment. Yes, and teach the pet to go to such a toilet will be very difficult, because this is a place where people often are. Another conditionally suitable place for placing a tray is a pantry, if, of course, it is convenient for you and your kosher.
Tray Selection
In the event that an adult cat did not know about the existence of a lacquer, then buy it the one that she certainly likes. He should be spacious, comfortable, then she will recognize and master it. How do I determine if the tray is convenient? First, it must be deep, so that the adult animal is placed. Well, if the depth is not less than 10 cm. Then the cat will be able to dig into it, preparing a place for a toilet and eliminating the results. A high edge of the tray will prevent the filler from pouring out the fill. In size: width and length - the tray should be spacious, so that the cat completely fits in it.
A good alternative to tray-cuvettes is the house-toilet. Its advantage is that it facilitates the care of the toilet itself. Usually etidomiki equipped with filters designed to purify the air of the native smell of feline secretions. Therefore, after the visit of the cat to this house, there is no smell in the apartment, even if the tray has not been removed. Filters quite effectively neutralize the smell and cats with great pleasure go to it for want. The lavatory houses are equipped with walls and a roof, they completely hide the pet and they do not feel discomfort from outsiders' eyes. Moreover, such a closed house can be located both in the bathroom and in the hallway.
How to train a cat to go to the toilet
The animals are well developed intuition, so they understand why they prepared the tray and what it is intended for. But I still have to train. By the way, there is a false opinion that it is easier for a cat to accustom to a tray, nezhelikota. But this is not true. The only difference between them is the fact that the kittens, as they are males, often mark the territory, including in the tray. Cats are more capricious, they need to please the place and quality of the tray, otherwise they will find a very different place, which will hardly suit you.
Some rules by which it is recommended to be guided during the period of the pet's accustoming to the tray.
Keep an eye on the animal. Usually cats cope after a short time after eating, although they can tolerate long enough. It is better to introduce the cat to the tray as soon as it appeared in the house. As already mentioned, the animals intuitively understand why a tray is needed on it once, some pets use it constantly.
If the animal did not recognize the toilet from the first glance in the tray, wait until the moment of need comes. The cat will look for a secluded place, wanting to go to the toilet. You should not hesitate at this moment, and take the animal to the tray, put it in the tray. Calm the cat, patting, and move away. For sure, the animal will begin to dig a groove in the filler, bridge and handle the need for a tray. In the reverse situation, when the cat tries to jump out of the tray and escape, patiently return it to the house or tray until it finally pushes the filler.
Another scenario is also possible. If you see that the cat has already chosen a place and is being paved, quickly place the tray there and plant the animal. It is important not to miss the moment when the animal is practically in the process of its business, so it does not remain to him how to continue it already in the wicket. And do not rush to change the filler, because the next time the pet will find time to find his toilet. If he again chose the former place, take it to the scotch. A familiar smell will make it clear why it was brought to the tray and will use it for its intended purpose.
If the animal still returns to its old place, place the tray there for a while. And then slowly move it to wherever you would like the tray to be. This process can be long, but it will give a good result. The animal will not notice the entire procedure of the tray movement.
Cats taken from the street, it is recommended for some time to pour the usual ground or sand in place of the filler. For them, the land is accustomed to the consistency and smell, which will make it clear what the tray or house is designed for. If your darling cheated in a secluded place, you should get a puddle with a napkin and put it in the tray. If a whole heap of feces is found, also move it to the tray.
The place that the cat chose for the toilet is well treated with acetic essence or ammonia. The strong smell of these compounds is subtracting from this place.
