Raising American Shorthair cats requires training them from a young age to develop good living habits, so that they form the good habit of defecating and urinating at fixed spots. So how should you train them to cultivate this habit?

　　Owners need to observe carefully to understand the physical signs of the American Shorthair cat before it defecates or urinates. When you find the cat circling around anxiously, it means it wants to relieve itself. At this time, the owner should place the cat on the litter placed in a fixed spot to let it defecate.

　　In daily life, owners should prepare a fixed toilet for the American Shorthair cat and lay 3-4 centimeters of cat litter in it. You can add the cat’s urine scent to the litter; when the cat smells its own urine, it helps train the cat to defecate at the fixed spot very effectively.

　　Owners should also replace the cat litter frequently and promptly. Once you notice the litter in the cat’s toilet forming a small mound, it’s time to change the litter. Of course, when cleaning the cat litter for the American Shorthair cat, be sure not to leave any litter with urine scent to remind the cat to relieve itself there.

　　Training an American Shorthair cat to defecate at a fixed spot requires persistence for a period of time. During the training process, owners must patiently instruct and guide the cat to defecate at the fixed spot. Never give up during training; once you do, it will be difficult to train the cat to defecate at the fixed spot.
