How to teach a cat to go to the toilet to the street
If you live in a private house, you can teach the cat to go to the toilet to the street.
To do this, you need to gradually move the tray closer to the entrance door.
Over time, the tray will be behind the door and the need for it will disappear. To do this, you will need to blame for the kitten, and as soon as he comes in the tray, you need to take it into place where he can go to the toilet outside the tray. In order for the baby to be clear what they want from him - put a little filler from the land tray.
Is it possible to teach a cat to go to the toilet
Buy a big tray
Your kitten will quickly grow up, and if one day the tray will be enough to him, the pet can go home to look for a toilet for a better way. At the same time, the height of the side should be such that the animal can get into it on its own.
Note that trays are closed and open
Both models have its pros and cons. On the one hand, the closed tray gives an animal sense of privacy. On the other hand, the walls hold odors and the cat may refuse to use not clean enough, in his opinion, tray. In addition, a large animal in such a tray is not very conveniently unfolded and digging traces of its livelihoods.

Open trays are also different types: with a grid, without a grid, with high and low sides. The tray with high edges is good for an adult animal that loves too vigorously rummage in the filler and scatter it in all directions. A small kitten at the breakdown stage will not be easy to climb such a tray.
But the low tray with the grid may be quite by the way. The filler in this model is poured under the removable part and does not come into contact with the paws. Perhaps your kitten will not immediately object to the grid immediately, and if it turns out that it is vital to rummage in the filler, the top part can be removed or temporarily.
However, with such trays you can do and without fillers. You just need to pour urine every time and rinse the pot.
There are also special overlays on the toilet, which are good to everyone, except one: they are not suitable for small kittens, pregnant cats and old or sick animals. But if you really like the idea of \u200b\u200bteaching an animal to the toilet and not mess with the filler, you can try such a lining when the kitten is growing.
Litterkwitterlee.blogspot.ru.
Many of these linings are systems of gradual teaching to the toilet: they use rings of various diameters that are cleaned as an attachment of the animal. In some of them (for example, in this), you can initially pour a filler. Which system is suitable for your pet depends on its preferences.
Finally, there are fully automatic feline toilets that take care of themselves and therefore very comfortable and hygienic. But there is such a miracle of technology quite expensive. It is likely that it scares or simply do not like your pet.

Take care of the spare tray
This happens infrequently, but nevertheless be prepared for the fact that some cats prefer to urinate in one tray, and to be practiced in a large one. If you live in a house or apartment with several floors, the cat should be available on each.
And of course, if you have a few, each should have its own tray.
Choose a suitable place
The feline toilet's place should be easily accessible, comfortable and rather quiet. It is better not to put the tray in the farthest corner of the house: in case of emergency need, the kitten may not have time to reach him.
And do not put the tray next to the bowls for feed and water. Cats are not shifted where they eat and drink.
What should be the filler
Choose a filler without dust, lumps and smell
Today, in almost every pet store you can buy mineral, wood, corn, silica gel and even paper fillers with a color indicator. In general, they all cope with their function, so the final choice depends on the personal preferences of the owner and the animal. But at the stage of teaching the pot you should pay attention to some important points.
It is recommended to use a filler from which there is no or almost no dust, as it can cause the kitten an unpleasant feeling when inhaled. It is also not recommended to start a teaching to the toilet with a commercial mineral filler, because your pet is almost certainly trying to taste it, and it can cause strong constipation.
Try to buy products widespread stamps. Perhaps your favorite will get used to a certain type of granules and refuses to use the toilet, if suddenly the store does not turn out to be the most filler.
The silica gel filler may also not please anything to you nor the kitten, since when he ordered it is quite loudly rustled. Small corn filler adhesions sometimes even to dry paws and spread throughout the house.
It is better not to buy a filling with the smell, since a strong fonder can scare the animal and it will start looking for an alternative place toilet.
Therefore, as a first filler, it is better to buy pressed wood sawdust, and later, if you want, try other options.
If your kitten is just starting to hit the toilet, it makes sense to leave a little wet filler or excrement in the tray as a reminder of where toilet in the house.
As soon as the animal gets accustomed, it will be necessary to clean everything, because the dirty pot can cause puddles and a heap in unsuitable places. It is enough 1-2 times a day with a scoop to clean the filler from the tray and pour a new plus to its place once a week to wash the capacitance with warm water with a soft detergent without a strong smell.
If you have a double tray, regularly remove feces from it. If possible, wash the grid after each use of the toilet. Well, follow the purity of the filler.
The nozzle on the toilet must at first clean and wash the same way as the usual tray. If you use a system of teaching to the toilet bowl with rings, there will be nothing to clean soon. The diameter of her rings gradually increases and eventually the animal will learn how to use the toilet without nozzle.
How to teach a kitten to the tray
Put the kitten in the tray
Give the baby to get used to the smell and look around. Let the kitten sit for a start to sit or lie in the tray for a few minutes. Nothing terrible, if immediately after that the pet does not use the toilet.
Squeeze the kitten in the tray every time after eating, sleep, games or if a lot of time has passed since the past departure. Also immediately transplant the animal in the tray, if it crouches with obvious intentions elsewhere. Try to play with a kitten next to the pot: after jumping and kwwyrkov, a pet probably wants to ease.
Be patient: some kittens understand why you need a tray, almost instantly, others need a little more attention and reminders.
Watch out for feeding time
Typically, kittens need to easily facilitate approximately 20 minutes after meals. If at the same time, you can predict and sit the time in the tray.
Show the kitten what to do
If your pet has never seen the tray, you will have to visually demonstrate to him what to do with this subject. Of course, you do not need to use a tray in front of a shocked cat - it's enough to show that you can dig. To do this, put the kitten in the tray and crush the filler with your finger.
In no case try to teach the kitten to dig, holding it behind the paws. From this he is only scared and the next time will bypass the tray.
Praise and do not punish
Schedule and affectionately talking with a kitten every time he shows interest in the tray or enjoys it correctly. Do not shout, do not poke the animal with a muzzle and do not beat him for misses: by this you only achieve the fact that the toilet will be associated with the punishment and the pet will cope in secret hard-to-reach corners.
If the kitten left a surprise in the wrong place, put the bunch in the tray. It will remind the baby to where to go to the toilet, and the smell will be associated with the pot.
Thoroughly flush the place of misses
So that the accident does not become a pattern, you will remove all traces of hooligan as soon as possible. Needless it is necessary, otherwise the kitten will consider this place with its constant toilet.
Put a bowl with food and water in the wrong place
If the kitten has chosen for a toilet, a place absolutely not intended for this, rearrange food and water there. Instincts do not allow cats to be practiced next to food and a waterproof, and your stubborn loves will be forced to abandon his dubious ventiy.
Question: How to teach the kitten to the tray, asks every person who at least once in his life started at home this fluffy creation.
The most relevant of all this question sounds for those who have encountered a problem for the first time.
As a rule, kittens are taken at that time when they have already formed the habit of walking into the tray.
However, if the homeless little kitten found on the street or simply brought to an apartment at an early age, he may not know what a tray is and how to use it.
At what age start?
The question of how many months to teach the kitten to the tray is studied quite a long time.
After the research conducted, it was found that each animal has a time period at the beginning of life when the acquired experience is absorbed very easily and for a long time. This period is called critical.
- The perfect period is to properly teach the kitten to KakAn in the tray - starting with the second and seventh week inclusive.
At this time, the cat begins to form a character, they best remember everything that happens to them, and acquire the necessary skills.
Therefore, to train the kitten to use the tray is the most favorable period.
Selection of place and tray
Where to install a feline tray?
Put a feline toilet better next to the human. The tray should be located in a place where it will not interfere with anyone, and where no one will interfere with even a monthly kitten. 
If, in the first days of his appearance, the kitten considers any corner with his tray, it is not worth angry at him.
In this situation, it is better to watch him and remember where he does it most often.
This means that your pet has selected the place suitable for its toilet itself, and you just need to put the tray there.
If the place chosen by the kitten does not fit your preferences, then after it is purified, you can put bowls, filling them with food, milk or water.
Thus, you will travel a kitten from walking to the toilet in this place, as cats are very clean on their nature and never go to the toilet where food is worth.
Closed type: pros and cons
The closed tray is a box that can have a door. There are also closed trays without doors.
In such trays, as a rule, there is a special part, where the filler falls asleep.
Externally, they can radically differ in form and sizes - to have a kind of house, furniture and so on.
The significant advantage of closed trays should include the absence of unpleasant odors.
Coal filters that are within such feline toilets allow you to eliminate all the occurrence of unpleasant flavors.
Thanks to the triangular or rectangular form, such a tray can be conveniently placed in any part of the house or apartment, including in any suitable corner.
In addition to functional advantages, closed trays also have a pleasant appearance, which will benefit any part of your home.
However, they have a greater value and are not always convenient for cats due to the presence of the door or a small review.
Some cats simply ignore such a type of toilet.
Open Type: Property
Open-type tray can be any waterproof boxes with a special filler. Such a container can be bought in any pet store or make it yourself.
The advantage of this type of tray for forgetful owners is its open upper part, which constantly reminds you that it must be cleaned.
However, the unpleasant odor from such a container will be spread much more efficient than that of closed.
Also, the open-type tray can be more convenient for the cat, as it allows you to see the surrounding environment and not worry about possible danger.
Choosing an outdoor tray need to remember the height of the side. They should be so that the cat will not spread the filler during the injection.
Fillers
A sufficiently large number of materials can be used as a filler for the tray.
Previously, the main means were a ribbon newspaper or sand. However, now the choice of fillers is quite wide. Among the most popular are the following. 
One of the most inexpensive wood filler is.
Its base are wood sawdust, which under high pressure are formed into granules.
This filler is environmentally friendly, allows you to get rid of unpleasant flavors. It is necessary to change it at least once a week.
Otherwise, swollen granules will get squeezed on the sawdust, and the pet will take them down all over the apartment.
Another type of modern fillers is a commercial, which contains clay.
Such a filler likes cats with its crumbly structure, but it should not be applied to kittens, as they can swallow it.
Special means
In order to accustom kittens to the toilet in the right place and teach them not to walk in unnecessary, there are special means.
The famous fact that cats do not like the smell of citrus fruits.
Puting a few crusts of orange or mandarin in the loved kitten, the result will not make himself wait a long time, and soon the kitten will bypass the scene with the sideline.
Try the crusts of orange or lemon. Unlike orange smell, lavender fragrance attracts animal catfish.
In this regard, a few drops of the tray left near the tray will contribute to the more rapid addition of the kitten to the goal in the toilet in the place you need.
There are also special sprays and aerosols that fulfill the above functions and significantly simplify the life of the owner of a small kitten.
You can purchase such drugs in any veterinary pharmacy.
Feline toilet size
When choosing a cat tray, it is important to determine the desired size. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account the size of the cat itself.
For example, very large in itself, so the tray for it should also have the appropriate size.
The main criterion is freedom, the cat should not feel shy, being in the tray. Especially if the closed tray, the cat should have the opportunity to turn around.
But I don't forget about yourself. The size of the apartment and the free space in it is also worth considering that the pet and his owner can be comfortable.

After reading this article it was possible to make sure that the kitten and even adult cat to the tray or the toilet in the apartment can be quickly and easily. The learning process in private homes is not different from the above.
Now you know how to teach a kitten to a tray in the apartment, and easily be able to apply these knowledge for your pet.
If the kitten was born in your house at your cat, who herself cares about him, raises and watches cleanliness, then the question is not relevant. Mom cat itself perfectly cope with the participation of the offspring. There are even cases when the cat itself does not have a very carefully observing rules, it greatly trains kittens.
I lived with my cat named Brungilda - the person is pretty panted, as they say, "with character." I knew perfectly well to walk in the tray. But it cost me a little relax, for example, do not immediately wash her toilet or just rinse, and not thoroughly rinse - and her lordship considered himself to be pressed at the tray, and next to him. After all, the tray is not purely clean.
But when she had a kitten (his appearance on the light and the first days - a separate epic, somehow I'll tell you), she won it so that past the tray, this creature did not miss the whole life. At the same time they went cats in a tray without filler, with a grid. So the belly was still, at least "knee" already in the tray, she did not occur to her that "deeds" can be made elsewhere.
If the kitten appeared in your infancy randomly or with his mother's cat happened misfortune, so you have to do a feline baby, then the teaching to the tray makes sense to start as soon as the kitten can independently leave the "nest" intended for him - a box, litter .
A kitten, bought or presented to tray from the first minutes of life in the apartment, regardless of age - at least a month (and before the kids will not even give the toddlers even the most rigid breeder), even three, at least six months.
How to teach monthly kittens to the tray?
If kittens turned month and forced to replace them with a cat's mother, then it's time to teach them to the tray.
Simplify training, it is possible, bound by the sphere of movement of kittens. Usually use the children's playpen or simply cut the part of the room. The square should be such that the "nest" for sleep, tray, bowls with food and water fit, and there was still a little meta to play.
Features of the physiology of kittens are such that they cope with the need almost immediately after eating. So proceed to teaching. Kitten feed. When he was flooded, immediately plant him in the tray, slightly roll off his paw filler if the tray with the filler (read about what filler is better for kittens) or just scraper the bottom of the tray. Then you can tease the tummy gently: usually the cat after meals loses kittens, at the same time stimulating digestion. Most often, "result" is observed literally in a few minutes. If the kitten did, the fact that the baby is expected from him, helping to bury and let go, pre-standing.
It is not worth raping the kitten in the tray longer than a few minutes. Does not want - let him run to play. And we observe. As soon as the quiet, sat down - grab and in the tray. If you did not have time, and the kitten did the puddle in the wrong place, it is impossible to scold.
We wash the napkin to the puddle, put the napkin into the tray, plant the baby and put the "bad smell" with his paw. Then stroit and let go. We leave the napkin with the smell in the tray, and the "scene crime" is thoroughly closed. Now you can relax for a couple of hours until the next feeding.
Usually enough for several days so that the kittens understand what is required of them. Although the troubles will happen even for quite a long time: the kitten in the game, as well as a child, may not be forgotten and do not have time to reach their toilet. But it will be only some cases. As soon as you saw that the kitten purposefully goes to the tray to make their affairs, you can relax: errors will happen more and less.
How to teach a kitten to the tray if he still walks everywhere in the toilet?
It happens like this: they took a kitten, without thinking good of their capabilities. As a result, the toddler spent the first days in the new house alone: \u200b\u200beverything at work, and in the evening the owners are simply no time, and there is no strength to practice. And when they spun - the kitten was already used to shit where it fell. Is it possible to help in such a situation?
Attempt number 1 - Limit space. It is important that the baby practically does not have another possibility: or in the tray, or in the nest. Cell helps here, no matter how severely sounded. You can mitigate the punishment mode, only at the moment when the owners have the opportunity to engage tightly. At the same time, it is important to adhere to the graph set out in the previous section, that is, to plant the time after meals. And releasing - when will make "cases."
While the small intruder languishes in captivity, carefully climb all the places chosen as toilet. So simply does not happen that the cat goes every time in a different place. Instinct tells her to choose some of the most convenient for this purpose of secluded corners. It is advisable not only to wash, but also make these places inaccessible: to put something on them, put. You can use special sprays for teaching.
Attempt number 2. - change the place of residence. If the first method did not help (and he, with a consistent and patient application, works almost always), it remains only to transfer someone kitten. In a new place, new rules are learned much easier. Optimally, if the house already has an adult cat or a cat, loyal to other animals. So learning will be even more efficient. Some wonderful way of old-timers can be perfectly explained by the newcomer of the rules of residence.
How to teach a kitten to a tray with filler
If the kitten came to you from a good breeder or just from a caring owner, it is already accustomed to walk in a tray with a certain filler
Your task - before buying to clarify exactly which tray was used in the "native" house of the baby: the size, the height of the side (maybe it was?) - and buy exactly the same. The only difference in color is insignificant - the colors of the cat differ badly.
Also find out the name of the filler, which was at the breeder. You need exactly the same. Subsequently, it will be possible to experiment with the filler and even remove at all. However, at the stage of teaching, it is better not to risk: Faced with another odor or type of filler, the kitten can be confused and not understand why this subject is here.
So for sure to explain the kitten's purpose of the tray, an experienced breeder will definitely give a slightly used filler. It has to scatter on the surface of the tray to make his smell quite native.
How to teach a kitten to a tray without filler
The filler often annoys the owners by constantly scattered, cats spread it on the paws across the apartment. In addition, the filler must be constantly buying, which may be expensive. That is why many people have a desire to teach the kitten to go to the tray without filler.
For this, special trays are sold, in which the lattice is attached at some distance from the bottom. So the paws of the kitten will remain dry.
The tray without filler is better to use if you have the ability to wash the tray quite often: optimally - after each use. Otherwise, the smells across the entire apartment will not be the most pleasant, and the kitten may refuse to use the re-unbearable tray.
As an option, some owners are poured between the bottom and grille, the wood filler that absorbs the urine and absorbs odors.
Another nuance of using a tray without filler - many cats are digging so hard that literally turn the lattice, engaging her claws. So choose a sufficiently heavy tray so as not to turn over and check the reliability of the lattice fastening.
And to teach the tray without filler is completely simple. The procedure is simple to disgrace. Just to start in the tray with a grid pour filler - a little less than the kitten is used. And gradually reduce the amount of filler, reducing it no.
However, there is a risk that the kitten will still refuse to go to the tray without filler. Then the output one is to return to the proven version. It is better to regularly sweep the filler around the tray than to remove the "puddles" and "heaps" throughout the apartment.
