Cats are among the cleaner animals, and many cats naturally use the litter box to relieve themselves. However, some Persian cats are too young to use it or have been stray for a long time and are not used to the litter box. At this time, the owner needs to teach them to use the litter box. It is best to start training pet cats to use the litter box from their kitten stage.

　　First, prepare a fixed litter box for the Persian cat and place it in a fixed location in the home. The litter box can be handmade or purchased in the market, then just spread a layer of cat litter in the box.

　　Second, the owner should let the Persian cat become familiar with the litter box. First, catch the Persian cat and place it in the litter box, then gently pat its head and buttocks while telling it this will be its bathroom place in the future. Although the Persian cat may not understand your meaning at first, with training and comprehension, it will gradually understand.

　　Third, grasp the Persian cat’s urination and defecation times and patterns. Before the Persian cat develops a good habit, closely observe its behavior. When signs of urination or defecation appear, promptly guide or catch the Persian cat to the fixed litter box to relieve itself.

　　Fourth, dirty litter must be cleaned promptly, but also leave some scent of the Persian cat’s excrement and urine in the litter box. This can attract the Persian cat to use it again, which is more conducive to developing the habit of urinating and defecating in the fixed litter box.

　　Training a Persian cat to use the litter box takes time. This period truly tests the owner's patience and determination. Only in this way can the training be successful. Owners should have confidence in their cats; in fact, cats are very smart. (Source：PetsZone)
