  First, you need to prepare a fixed litter box for the cat and place it in a fixed spot at home. The litter box can be handmade or purchased on the market, and then spread a layer of cat litter inside the box.

  Second, in daily life, the caregiver should let the cat become familiar with this litter box first. You can start by catching the cat and placing it in the litter box, then gently pat its head and buttocks while telling it that this will be its future toilet place. Although the cat may not understand what you mean at first, through training and understanding, it will gradually comprehend.

  Third, grasp the cat’s timing and routine for urination and defecation. Before the cat forms good habits, closely observe its behavior. When you notice signs that the cat needs to go, promptly guide or take the cat to the fixed litter box to relieve itself.

  Fourth, the dirt in the litter box should be cleaned in a timely manner, but keep some of the cat’s fecal and urine scent in the box. This can attract the cat to go there again, which helps the cat develop the habit of using the fixed litter box.

  Training a cat to use the litter box takes time. It may take one week, two weeks, or even longer. The most important thing during training is that the caregiver has enough patience and determination. Only in this way can the work of training the pet cat to use the litter box be successful.
