I have two cats. One uses litter box for urination and defacation. The other one just uses the box for urnination.
If he is going #2 outside the box, trying putting it in the box uncovered. See if he will get the idea. Or try 2 litter boxes with different kinds of litter. Scoopable litter seems to be good for most cats.
Good luck. :)
SOURCE: How much cat litter should I add to the cat tray?
It is recommended toass at least 3" of kitty litter to the tray, however if you do see that you canis digging to the bottom of the tray add another 1"
SOURCE: Do some cat crates have litter boxes?
I have never seen a carrier crate with a litter box. I am trying to picture how it might be doneand the only way I can really think of is for the carrier to have a mesh bottomfor the ********* to fall through. Butit doesn't sound very comfortable to the cat and I can imagine he could get aclaw stuck in the wire.
SOURCE: How can I train my cat to use the litter box?
Cats learn quickly how to use litter boxes. Keep an eye on your cat at first and after waking up or eating, place your cat in the litter box. If you see your cat squatting, this would also be a good time to place him/her in their litter box. If they happen to have an accident outside the litter box I suggest wiping it up with a paper towel and placing it in the box. Then take your cats paws and place them in the box - this way they will associate what they have just done with the place where they should be doing it. When they successfully use the box for the first few times, make sure to praise them.
SOURCE: Is it better to get a covered or uncovered litter box for my cat?
I prefer uncovered litter boxes. Some cats may become claustrophobic in a covered litter box, giving them a sense of being trapped. Although covered litter boxes may seem like an appealing method of reducing odors throughout your home, consider how your cat will feel. A cats sense of smell is much stronger and more sensitive than ours. Lastly, covered litter boxes can trap a lot of dust. This may seem advantageous; however it is quite the opposite. The dust can be very difficult on your cats lungs and become very unhealthy.
I would recommend you check out the LitterMaid litter box. It has two sensors on either side of the box that detect when a cat uses it. After 10 minutes, a rake automatically comes and scoops clumps of solid and liquid waste into a disposable container at the end of the litter box. Keep in mind that this does not eliminate you cleaning the box.
For the most part, learning to use a litter box is
instinctive for cats; however sometimes they may need a little extra coaching
along the way. The following are some
tips to help you train your cat to using a litter box successfully.
•
Place your cat in the litter box after every
nap, meal, play session or any other time your cat appears inclined to relieve
itself
•
While litter box training try leaving a small
amount of waste in the litter box so the scent can act as a reminder to your
cat as to what the box is for
•
Find a good location - away from high traffic
areas; preferably somewhere your cat can access at any time of day/night
•
Do not place the litter box near your cats food
or water
•
Never punish your cat for having an accident
outside the litter box. Instead I
recommend firmly saying NO and then placing your cat in their litter box and
praising them. This way they will begin
to associate positive reinforcement with the litter box as opposed to negative
associations.
• If you have multiple cats, you should have multiple litter boxes. Like us, cats want their privacy too
It all comes down
to your cat to make the final choice. Once you find a brand that your cat
likes, stick with it. It may take some time searching for the right exact brand
that suit your cat but it is totally worth it.
