Why a kitten doesn't want to use the litter box: the main mistakes of owners
Despite the fact that there is a lot of information on how to properly train a cat to use a litter box, some pets continue to ignore the toilet intended for them.
The reason is the mistakes made by the owners. But first things first.
The first thing that needs to be reminded to anyone who wants to get a kitten is that you should not separate the baby from its mother too early.
It is not worth taking a cat to a new home before it is 3-3.5 months old. By this time, the animal will master the litter box with a bang, and all the necessary vaccinations should already have been done by a responsible breeder.
In addition, do not be lazy and come to the previous owner’s home with a request to show him the litter box and filler that your pet is accustomed to.
It often happens that a kitten refuses to use the litter box because of unfamiliar granules that may smell unpleasant to it, prick, etc.
You can change the filler only when the cat can confidently use the tray.
Sometimes the refusal to use the litter box is due to the fact that the kitten has too much space at its disposal. Help the animal adapt to the new place by first placing it in a small room where there will be everything necessary: bowls, a litter box, a carrier.
