Five Signs When Cats are Mentally Depressed

  The next step is to catch the and gently pat its head and bottom in the specially prepared toilet while telling it this is its toilet and it will go potty there from now on. Also, gently move its paws around inside the litter box mimicking the usual toilet behavior they perform after using the toilet. This is a very good way to let them know this is their bathroom.

  Additionally, here is a family secret remedy passed down from our elders, said to be very effective. This method is to hold the cat in the litter box, pull its tail downward three times, while saying: "This is the place where you will go potty from now on. Be good and remember to use this place, okay?"

  Usually, you should pay attention to the cat’s movements. Generally, when a cat wants to defecate, it becomes restless and sniffs around everywhere. A clear sign is that it likes to sniff around corners or along walls. Some may even make soft meowing sounds. At this time, it is very likely that they need to go. You should quickly catch the little one and place it into the litter box. If the cat is in a hurry, it might go inside the box. Once this happens, it usually means great success!

  Also, note that after the first time your cat defecates in the litter box, don’t immediately clean up their waste. Leave it there for a while so there is some odor remaining inside. That way, when the cat smells it later, it will know this is its toilet.
