🎯 Enfoque de Entrenamiento

Provide Enough Boxes

One per cat, plus one extra. Cats are territorial and don't like sharing. In a multi-cat home, box competition causes problems.

Location Matters

Quiet, accessible, not near food. Cats feel vulnerable when eliminating. A box in a scary location (loud basement, next to dog crate) won't get used.

Keep It Clean

Scoop daily. Full litter change weekly. Cats are fastidious — a dirty box is like a gas station restroom. They'll find somewhere cleaner (your bed).

Use Unscented Litter

Cats have sensitive noses. Strong floral scents designed to please you may repel them. Unscented, fine-grained litter is most accepted.

Preguntas Frecuentes

Why is my cat peeing outside the box?
Common causes: medical issues (UTI — see vet first!), dirty box, wrong location, wrong litter type, stress from multi-cat conflict, box too small, or change in household. Solve by process of elimination, starting with a vet visit.
Covered box or uncovered?
Most cats prefer uncovered! Covers trap odor inside (pleasant for you, disgusting for them) and can make cats feel trapped. If you must cover, clean even more frequently and ensure the box is large enough.
How deep should the litter be?
2-3 inches. Deep enough for satisfying digging and burying. Too shallow and waste isn't covered. Too deep and you're wasting litter.
My kitten won't use the box. Help!
Confine to a small room with the box. After eating and playing, place them gently in the box. If they have accidents, place the waste in the box to show them where it goes. Most kittens catch on quickly. See vet if issues persist.
