It is fairly easy. All you do is slowly place your cat's paws in the litterbox. Move her paws so to act like she is digging in the litter. Do this for a while, and she will begin to use it.

Warning: Do not force your cat to come near the box! This will cause her to be scared of it, and will avoid the litterbox. Instead, do it nice and slow and gentle. If she struggles, which she will most likely do, gently but firmly hold onto her legs. Not too rough. If she tries to flee, let her go. Try it again a little later.

How do you train your cat to stop using the litter tray?

How odd. Most people want to train their cats to use the litter tray, not to train them to stop using it. If you don't want your cat to use the litter tray, that's easy; remove the tray. If the tray is not there, the cat cannot use it. Move the litter tray outdoors to get your cat used to going outside and then, eventually, remove the litter tray completely.

How do you train a cat to use a pee pad?

Same way you get them to use the toilet, first put the litter box where you want the pads, after about a week put little litter in box, after another week take all the litter out and put a pad in once the cat is used to this take the box away but put a small pile of litter on the pad. Then take the litter away. The thing is a box is probably better, using pads causes a much stronger cat urine smell.

Why is your cat not using litter box?

The litter box may not be clean enough for the cat or the cat feels uncomfortable in the litter box; a litter box should be cleaned every day or every second day, depending on how many cats you have. Maybe the cat does not know where the litter box is, if you move the litter box and don't show the cat its new location the cat won't know where the box is. The cat also mightn't be trained to use a litter box properly and might need a little help using it. Also, if a cat is very old, they mightn't realise they have to use the litter box or they do not have time to get to the litter box before they urinate etc. . The cat could also be sick.if your cat is just a kitten then the box might be too clean the kitten must smell where the toilet is.

Is it Ok to have a cat litter box in your room while being pregnant My cat litter box is in a storage room that is connected to my bedroom in an appartment I have no where else to put it?

It should be safe with a few precautions. Use the long handled plastic scoops to take the urine & feces out of the cat litter. Put this in another bag and take out to the garbage can. Use the self clumping type of cat litter. Don't use your hands and if you have to touch anything in the litter box, put some plastic gloves on first. Be sure to wash your hands after each time you clean up the litter box. Keep the litter box as clean as you can.
