Cats are very clean animals. Well-trained pets know how to live properly. Trained cats will not urinate or defecate randomly; they will eliminate in a fixed place. However, sometimes cats dislike using the litter box. So why do cats dislike urinating and defecating in the litter box?

　　There can be several reasons why cats reject the litter box. First, the cat may not be accustomed to using the litter box, or the owner has not trained the cat on how to use it, leaving the pet unsure where to eliminate; secondly, it could be because the litter box has odors or is too dirty, causing the cat to avoid approaching or eliminating in it.

　　To make a pet cat accept the litter box and use it smoothly, training and guidance are essential and should start from when the cat is young. Guide the cat to the litter box daily or whenever you notice elimination tendencies, then encourage it to urinate or defecate there. Over time, the pet cat will develop the habit of using the litter box.

　　Besides training, an important task for owners is ensuring the litter box's cleanliness, which is the foundation for the cat to keep using the box. Do not wait until strong odors emerge before cleaning; instead, simple cleaning after each elimination is recommended. Timely cleaning ensures better hygiene of the litter box, allowing the pet cat to consistently urinate and defecate there.
