　　During the process of raising pet cats, in order to help them live better with their owners, it is necessary to train them properly when they are kittens. For example, to adapt to the litter box and excrete in a fixed spot.

　　1. Precautions

　　For cats, they have independent personalities and consciousness. Most of the time they do not like to be manipulated by humans or forced to do things. Therefore, before training cats to excrete at a fixed spot, it is essential to learn scientific methods, combining kindness and strictness to make the cat accept and complete the training.

　　2. Training Methods

　　Before training cats to excrete at a fixed point, owners should find a spot in the house to serve as the long-term excretion place for the cat. Then you can use an old washbasin, plastic basin, place some sand, sawdust, ashes in the basin, or purchase a professional pet cat litter box, then place it in the fixed spot. At this point, you can start training the cat.

　　In daily life, the owner can take the cat to the designated place frequently to help it quickly become familiar with the environment. At the same time, the cat’s feces can be hidden in the litter to make the place smell like cat waste, which attracts the cat to excrete there. During training, once there are signs that the cat needs to urinate or defecate, the owner must promptly guide the cat to its fixed toilet spot and then let it excrete.

　　During the training process, the owner should always keep the litter box or toilet clean to speed up the training. While the cat is excreting, all human disturbances are prohibited, and people should avoid randomly entering or leaving the cat’s toilet. When training cats to excrete at a fixed spot, owners should give the cat more tolerance and understanding. When the cat makes mistakes unintentionally or goes in the wrong place, the owner should be forgiving and give timely correction and training to strengthen the cat’s training, helping the pet cat quickly form a conditioned reflex to excrete only at the fixed spot in the future.
