How do you potty train an adult cat?

Potty training my cats were very simple. All I did was get a litter box put in my bathroom and filled it with litter and then just put the cat in the litter box and they just knew what to do and now they where to go to do their business. It also a good idea if you have multiple cats to have more than one litter box if they are inside cats. another problem is if you have a door on your litter box I'd recommend taking that off for a couple days to get them used to the litter box first. Now if you have outside cats you don't have to worry about any of this. Another thing is it might be to dark for them so maybe leave the light on.


Do you have to get 2 litter boxes for 2 cats?

They can, but most cats prefer to do their business in clean litter boxes and often do not like to share such a private space. It is not impossible to get two cats to share just one litter box, depending on the cat's personality and how often the litter gets cleaned out. However, it is often recommended that a multi-cat household has one litter box per cat, plus one extra just in case. This ensures each cat has enough privacy and space, and minimises the risk of one cat refusing to use the litter box and toileting elsewhere.

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.
