  Training cats to defecate in the litter box indoors is very important. If a cat doesn’t know how to use the litter box, the owner needs to be patient in training. However, I suggest that the most important thing is to induce the cat to defecate in the litter box. Let me tell you some methods to induce cats to defecate.

  Actually, understanding "inducing cats to defecate" has two meanings. The first is to train the pet cat to develop the habit of defecating at a fixed spot. This requires owners to closely monitor the cat's behavior daily, especially at the time when the cat needs to defecate, and immediately bring it to the cat toilet while encouraging it to defecate.

  Additionally, for young kittens, sometimes it is necessary to stimulate them to defecate. And the stimulation work for kittens may need to continue until they are 3-4 weeks old. Newborn kittens’ gastrointestinal functions are not yet fully developed, and defecation problems may occur. To ensure the cat’s health, you must help stimulate its defecation. Normally, prepare some soft cloth, cotton balls, or cotton swabs, and of course wet wipes are also okay. Choose one and dip it in warm water, then gently wipe the cat’s defecation area to stimulate defecation.

  After cats no longer require stimulation to defecate and can walk independently, start training them to defecate in a fixed cat toilet. Note that this training requires daily persistence. When the cat defecates in the fixed toilet, praise and encourage it. If it is found defecating everywhere, stop and educate it timely. Rewards and punishments must be clear during training; only in this way can cats learn faster to defecate in a fixed place. (Source:PetsZone)
