Not all people agree to have only tiny kittens: some choose adult animals picked up from the street as pets.
However, there are many problems associated with such cats. First of all, future owners are concerned about the issues of the litter box and training to the scratching post, which, you must admit, is important.
Cat behavior experts were happy to answer questions that concern cat lovers.
This way, they say, you can train a cat you picked up on the street, who has never used a litter box or seen a scratching post before, to use both of these “accessories.”
What is good news is that the success of the operation does not depend on the age of the cat.
If we talk about the tray, it would be better if you initially allow your pet to visit several toilets at once, placed throughout the apartment, since previously the cat would relieve itself in different places.
When choosing a scratching post, give preference to materials that are close to natural, such as jute or sisal. The cat will probably also be interested in cardboard products. You can be sure: the probability that a cat from the street will ruin furniture or wallpaper is exactly the same as if any other pet appeared in the house.
Other difficulties such as throwing objects or eating flowers are solved in the same way - in all situations with unwanted behavior, you will need only 3 things: time, love and the desire to help the new four-legged family member.
