Cat Care : House Train a Cat

[setsailful]

Can you make a video about how to teach your cat to do catlike things...like walking.......?? o.o

ahh my cat is lazy -.-

[ThaMadDog56]

this didnt work at all for me, my cat just keeps crapping on my bed

[MusicLoverSMCRS]

my mom said measure your cats tail with a stick break the stick on the tip of the cats tail and stick it on the litter box

and tell the cat that is your toilet

p.s i dunno if it works on you guys but it works with me

[spartakittyrules101]

That's where you should go potty yeah! Lol

[MyByakuran]

thanks for the advice. i did it all wrong....no wonder my kitten hates me

[neferibi]

Well, her advise is fine for rescued feral kittens who never came along a litter box ...

What I personally miss is the use of really kitten safe kitty litter based on corn, wheat or wood.

The smaller the grains of clay litter the more dust will develop and that could irritate the respiratory system.

Just my point of view.

[amethset]

Wait wait ur supposed to TAKE CARE of the cat?!?!? Oops too late

[MrMMABoy]

i just made a litterbox for my kitten to use the first 4-6 days and then i bought him a adult size litterbox and he uses it with no problem

[mrmeanfingers]

poo!!!i like poo

[adamariff1]

@mrmeanfingers lol

[dietfreeman42718]

I hear it's good to take the cat or kitten's paw and spred them out so they can get a good fill of the litter as well, is this true?

[Oganachobi]

Am I the only one that finds it slightly strange that she kept some of their poo?

[Navineous1]

@Oganachobi I know right? Creepy cat lady? :/

[mad1and1so1bad]

@Navineous1 no ... that's great... she did that .. so she doesn't have to wait for them to poop on the ground then putting in the litter box so they know .. she just saved some time lol :p

[GEKWINS]

@Navineous1  Or is it creepy your watching it?

[ofek3]

cats are born potty trained

dogs are another story

[NikaLove87]

I need serious advice, I recused a stray kitten (8weeks old). I set up her litter box in the bathroom & showed her how to use it (put her in the litter box & moved her paws to show how to cover her dumps) But she doesn't use the litter box!! Insead she does her buisness under my bed (FYI i have Carpet :( ...Its bin about a week that i've had her & every time she needs to use the bathroom she goes under my bed ... Help!

[npside1]

@NikaLove87 Put the poop from under the bed into the box, like the lady said. Make sure you scoop it up, put it in the box, then show it to her gently.

[AKQJ40]

tHE 3 CATS i'VE HAD, FOUND THAT BOX EASILY ON THEIR OWN. I THINK THEY INSTINCTIVELY KNEW WHERE AND "HOW" TO ELIMINATE. HOWEVER IF IT GETS DIRTY..ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE! NO WAY WILL THEY USE ONE THAT WAS USED! DID ANYONE ELSE HAVE THAT PROBLEM?

[taniaarthur]

I have never ever needed to train a cat to use the litter box, I just put it there and they go.

[thepaperterror]

@taniaarthur me too, i never actually owned a cat, but there were three strays who were just as good as ours and they always knew exactly where to take a dump

[armyofjuanymail]

Friskies don't make poop smell bad.

[kafonte37]

i just took in a kitten dat was abandoned by my neighbors when they moved out and he does good with the Lbox my question is how to stop him from chewing on my cords and pretty much anything he can get a hold of

[smokingajayble]

well on the weekend ( or whenever u hav a full day to dedicate to this) watch the cat carefully and every time it goes for the cords let it chew for a second then give it a beating. one of the most effedctive beating methods is to submerge it in water for 30 or so seconds 3 times in a row, u can also use simpler methods such as smaking but it wont be as effective. now after that day it should listen but if it ever forgets follow up with a beating asap and soon enough it ll catch on

[AcidEntertainment]

u know you are an idiot, of course.

[zynation]

@smokingajayble

that's just cruel. what are you trying to do, kill them?

[AcidEntertainment]

PS, I have put the cat crap in the box, but haven't taken the cat to physically show it that. I will try that today since I'm sure he'll crap on the floor again! This cat is a Siamese throwback (looks exactly like a bluepoint), is this breed related? I'm so confused...

[AcidEntertainment]

HELP! SOS! =) I took in a kitten approx. a month ago & he refuses to use his litter box regularly. I'm up in arms at this point. I have other pets & this is causing one of them to "match' the presents the kitten leaves, if you know what I mean. I've used several boxes, litter types, and have moved it around (although I'm limited due to the other pets, 2 dogs and another cat). I 'm at my wits end and want this to work. Any advice from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Great idea for a video.

[smokingajayble]

acid entertainment, as i told kafonte u can look for alternatives but beatings are going to be hands down the most effective training method for this and any senario. SO every time your cat dosent use the litter box follow up immediately with a moderate beating, and step up to severe if this isnt working. also a good thing to throw into the beat down routine is shoving the cats face in its feces, but this is just a additional punishment and wont replace the main beat down

[zynation]

@smokingajayble

you might be joking, but I honestly think you should visit a psychiatrist soon. Very soon.

[Seveleniumus]

She's going places while collecting cat poop, which she carries in her pocket, that's sick, lol...

[ArtiEnergy]

my cats the first day they were born the went to the bathroom their selves

[DJDhananjayK]

Realyl?

[DJDhananjayK]

Really?

[ArtiEnergy]

ya i swear !

[AcidEntertainment]

lucky you...my new addition is giving me a run for my money! lol

[missemsnitchesss]

most do. well not the day they're born cuz they can't see yet but you really don't need to train them.

[SDSUjacks101]

my cats poop and pee stink. we then put it in our pourch. i would like to have it in the bathroom to begin the pottie training in the toilet but it smells to bad. i use meow mix food, is there a food that doesn't make his poop smell as bad?

[strawberryvines]

ive had my abandoned kitty 4 about 3 days n she hasnt pooped yet but she finally peed. ive been on the internet trynna learn everthing i can but i just never had a pet b4 besides a fish...so should i be worried bout the poop n she dont really sleep unless i hold her n rub her head..should i be worried bout that also?? plz help!! im just overwhelmed cuz im pregnant also ugh

[willowc098]

All we did was set it up in the bathroom,and when we caught them going in the house, we took them to the box and gently took a paw and scratched at the litter with it.The female caught on instantly.Never made a mess again, the male...well..they say that boys are harder to train..lol..but it only took him a couple of days

[stainedglasspixie]

I actually had an easier time with my boy cat. The girl was much more finicky.
