Teaching Your Kitten to Use a Litter Box

Cats are great at using litter boxes. They don’t need to go out every few hours. They simply go to the litter box, take care of business, and off they go. They’re so independent. But did you know that cats have to be taught to use the litter box at a young age? Here are a few tips how. First, it’s important to give your kitten as much time with the mother cat as possible. The early bonding period is when the mother teaches kittens how to behave, socialize, eat, and even how to use the litter box. If there’s no mother then you will need to teach the lessons. In regards to the litter box, take the kitten to the litter box every couple of hours. Set her inside the box and when she pees or poops take her out and give her a treat for a reward. Be consistent to help enforce the newly learned skill. For help, give your authorize animal hospital Des Moines IA a call.
