It is very hard to train your cat to go to the toilet in a litter box, because it is against their natural instinct. Below are some tips to help get your cat to use a litter box, instead of your garden!

• Make sure that you buy a little box which is easy to use and allows the cat or kitten easy access.
• If you have more than one cat, have more than one litter box, one for each cat is preferred.
• You can also provide multiple litter boxes around the house for one cat, so that it feels it has a choice in where to go.
• Provide a litter box which is quite deep and wide, as this will allow it to move about freely and also dig after they have done their business.
• Make sure you know what litter type the previous owner used, or the mother of the kitten, as this will allow you to keep your new cat happy.
• Remove dirty litter every time your cat goes to the loo, as it needs to be clean for next time. It takes time, but this is very important.
• If you find anything abnormal in the litter box, please go to the vet.
