How do I know that the cat needs to urinate and defecate?

Signs that cats need to urinate or defecate are known to cat breeders. You should know that cats need to urinate and defecate when they wake up or after meals. Signs that a cat needs to relieve itself are as follows:

1- The fast, tense and sudden movement, which is movements that he may not normally do. If you notice that the cat is making tense movements as if it is looking for something, you should pay attention because it may be looking for a place to relieve itself.

2- Directing the cat to the corners of the house and starting to sniff these corners with interest. Cats rely heavily on their sense of smell, and when they do so, they often search for traces of urine or feces on the sides of the house. If the cat does this, then you should know that he may be looking for a place for droppings.

3- The third sign is the most famous. It is for the cat to dig randomly anywhere. For example, to dig into a carpet, on a salon chair, or on bed pillows.

If these signs appear on the cat, you must take it to the litter box or litter box, as we will explain in the last part of the article.

How to train cats to litter box or litter box

1- You must first put the cat next to the litter box (the litter box) and leave it next to it. Curiosity will prompt the cat to enter this place and start sniffing and exploring the box.

If the cat does not do this, gently lift the cat and put it in the litter box and leave it. In this way, he will know that this place is a possible place to defecate later

2 - When the cat enters the litter box, you can dig with your fingers quietly in the sandbox in front of the cats, in this way the cat will realize that it can dig and use this place.

The cat may do the same as you, and his curiosity may prompt him to dig automatically. In any case, this is an important step for training, because the cat will understand that this place is somehow special for him.

3 - Cats need to relieve themselves after waking up from sleep or after eating a lot. Therefore, on the first days of your acquisition of cats, you must take them after meals and after waking up, and put them in the place of the litter box and leave them. This way you will understand that this is where the waste is.

4 - In the event that the cat does not respond and eliminates its need in the wrong places. Clean it well so that there is no trace of the smell left, you can in this article

5 - If the cat continues to fail to respond to you. Take a portion of the cat litter, put it in the litter box, and leave it. This way your cat will understand that this is where the litter is and will get used to it

6 - Under no circumstances do you hit or scold the cat. Because this may lead him to continue neglecting the litter box. Instead, watch the cat, notice when it needs to urinate or defecate, and gently take it to the litter box

7 - Always make sure that the litter box meets the basic conditions that your cat does not hate

Important tips on how to train cats to litter box or teach kittens to litter box :

  • Clean the litter box weekly . Cats are very clean animals and may neglect the litter box if it is not clean.
  • Do not deliberately monitor cats when they defecate. Cats are shy animals and love privacy, so you should always avoid invading their privacy while defecating
  • Do not prevent cats from smelling their own waste. Cats depend on smell for their lives, just as you do not have to prevent cats from burying their waste because they are clean animals by nature and always love cleanliness and order.
