As we all know, cats are relatively clean animals, and we often see them bury their excrement with their claws when they go to the toilet.
This is because before cats were domesticated by humans, they must always be on guard against natural enemies to ensure their safety. Burying feces to hide their own information is one of the ways. This kind of skill related to their own life has been passed down to today’s cats from generation to generation, and it is still in the genes of cats as a way of survival, which explains why cats actively bury their own poop in cat litter.
1. Requirements for cats:
1. More than six months old, have been able to use the cat litter box and keep it at home (I think it is OK to go out occasionally, but not often).
2. If there is only one cat, it may be easier to train. If there is more than one, it is best to focus on the leading cat, hoping that other cats will learn from it.
3. It is best to feed regularly, twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. (This is because many cats will want to go to the toilet after eating, so it is easier for you to record which one went to the toilet, NN or BB, and can be cleaned up in time. Six-month-old cats, if they have a good appetite and good health Healthy, feeding twice a day can also prevent cats from overweight. If you don’t want to put away the food bowl, add food twice a day at regular intervals. Each time is basically the cat’s ration, not too much, and keep it there. ).
2. Steps to train cats to defecate on the toilet
1. The first step in training is to move the
litter box to the side of the toilet. Don't forget to tell it where the litter box has been moved. Wait a moment. Next, put something under the litter box (such as a bundle of old newspapers, a thick phone directory, a cardboard box, etc.), and raise the litter box by about three centimeters. It is best not to use magazines, because the paper of the magazines is relatively slippery, which will cause the cat litter box to be unstable, and the cat will feel insecure when it is convenient. If desired, you can use tape to secure the litter box to the elevated items below. Wait a moment. Find another box or phone directory and raise the litter box a little higher. Wait a moment. Continue this step until the bottom of the litter box is level with the top of the toilet.

After you are familiar with the environment, you can use the trainer to train. First, use the trainer without a hole in the middle.

It will take at least 6-10 days for the cat to jump on the toilet.
3. Change the training plate according to the cat's adaptation
