Posted on 21 January 2010

As a fellow cat owner, are you getting frustrated with a cat that simply refuses to use the litter tray consistently?

Do not worry, you are not the only cat owner to feel this way!

However, the good news is that there are a number of ways to solve cat litter training problems. To start off with, lets look at 7 domestic tricks to get your cat back to the litter tray without you having to coax them yourself.

Before we look at these tricks, it is important to realize that your cats litter box training problems almost always stem from behaviour issues on a wide scale, so please keep that in mind as you read to the end of this article.

These tips focus on creating a distraction free environment so your cat can poop in peace, without fear or some kind of temptation to go elsewhere…

Tip #1 – Close curtains or blinds to block the view outdoors Tip #2 – Deter stray cats from visiting the yard by removing bird feeders and installing automatic motion sensors which make noise or squirt water when outside animals approach Tip #3 For cats showing spraying or marking behaviors outside of the litter box, the areas being marked should be made as unattractive as possible Tip #4 – Aluminum foil, carpet runners placed upside down or double sided tape can be placed on the areas to discourage the cat Tip #5 – Citrus scents may discourage the cat from using the area to eliminate Tip #6 – Removing items being used for marking, such as clothing or rugs, can be helpful where appropriate (However, cat owners should realize that their cats may simply select different areas to eliminate if the underlying motivation for not using the litter box is not corrected.) Tip #7 – When cleaning soiled areas, pet owners should clean the area first with enzymatic cleansers to remove the smell of cat urine. Ammonia should never be used to clean these areas as cat urine contains ammonia
