I must've missed the part where you guys actually explain how to train a cat to use a little box.
Charlie Baltimore Ohhhhh I was thinking that I'm the only one
it said gently put the cat in the litter box,so it gets used to it
@@lishawu393 so if you place her on your bed she starts going there?
We need to know how to train them to use it
ugh same!
There was plenty of tips, also maybe come to terms with the fact you got a shity stupid cat. But either way it takes time and patience and effort. Some cats know and some don’t but the ones that don’t aren’t helpless in the sense it can’t be fixed. Do all the tips and stay in it. There’s no simple answer lol
This video is like asking my mom a yes or no question and getting a 3 minute story instead.
"You should use whatever litter she was using before you brought her home."
Lol. So if In taking in an outdoor cat, should I start with dirt and grass?
prolly use an unscented litter
Better throw in a car tire
BAHAHAHAHA

Lol
To train your cat to do their business in the litter box (for kitties):
1. When training a cat to go into a litter box, use the paper that you used for stimulation or the paper that you use to stimulate her to go pee so she can be familiar with her pee scent. Let the kitten smell it.
2. If she/he is having a hard time with the litter box, (like mine), stimulate her in the litter box so she knows where to do her business.
3. Give her praise when she goes to the bathroom!!
4. If she's still having a hard time keep trying this method. If she really is having a hard time put her face by her pee scent so she could smell it again, although I don't recommend this cause my cat would get freaked out.
Stimulation for what? My cat does poop everywhere. We are having a hard time training her
Thank you.. you are better than the video.
Some additional tips.
Get some cat treats and try to get their attention with them near the litter box. Reach over the box with the treat in your hand and try to get them to step into it. If they step into it, give them the treat while praising them accordingly, especially by petting/scratching/stroking them (all cats have different preferences in this regard).
The idea here is that after their praise, they may get curious about the box and begin scratching at the litter if they feel the need to use it (ideally).
Aww I’m getting a cat but I’m not ready yet I have a mean dog and it’s going to be in a room with outlets and we got the litter that we used to get for our other cat that ran away
Thank you for making this video. Hope my adopted kitty will learn quickly.
Wow, thank you for the advice. All I had to do was have 3 litter boxes for my three young cats, and now they all potty in their own box with zero accidents ! ! I clean their boxes everyday that only takes 4 minutes total ( timed myself ) and now we all are happy campers. The key again was a litter box for each cat and clean them each day.
*I Love cats and i'm getting one soon. This is really help full because my mom is thinking a lot about the problem of them not going in the litter box so..... Thanks Petco*
this video is 7 years old and now here i am finally getting a pet cat in 3 days. i am quite exciteed and i am searching for everthing my cat would need including a nice name
Congratulations on your new kitty -- how exciting! 😺
Wee rescued my kitten a few months ago not from a shelter it was from under my porch and she was born there and raised there but her mother left her so we rescued her and she new how to use the litter box right away and she LOVES baths
a kitten that has been outdoors goes in dirt or sand. i rescued a once feral 50 day old kitten and he used the litterbox for 1st time instantly.
Uhh I wish my cat was like that. Your cat is a complete opposite of a lot of cats. Lol
Eh hem. RUN ON SENTENCES
I love cats
We do too! :)

My cats a street cat I picked up behind my dads work and we brought him home and we got him treated for worms and fleas and now he is a happy, healthy 8 month old orange tabby and his name is Hurcules!!
We're happy to hear that Hurcules is doing much better! 🐾
Petco
Awww thx!!
2:28 under most circumstances, do not clean it with soap otherwise it will smell differently to what it did before so your cat might get uncomfortable as it may seem like a new litterbox to them
You can use unscented soap. But you should scrub the litter with some kind of disinfectant every month or so. Otherwise harmful bacteria will start to grow and can infect your cat, or even you.
Thanks for the tips
Thank you for this lesson
Next week my new cat will arrived. ON FRIDAY! After my exam is over.
Its a kitten about 3 month old.
And now im busy searching tips and lifehacks for cats/kittens.
Im so excited!!!
Btw i will call him Milo
Sorry had to edit it there because im bad at grammar... dont mind me
How’s he/she doing now
how is she now?
I'm getting a kitten soon, so I needed to know this. Very helpful!
Great news! Hows it going with your Kitten?
Me too! I am getting a cat in about 1-2 weeks or so and i am so excited! Just a bit nervous of how it can learn to pee or poop in the litter box
I picked my cat up, sat him in the litter box and then I rubbed his front two paws in the litter. That’s it. He’s been using the litter box ever since. The whole training process took less than a minute. My cat is exceptionally smart though so it might not be the same for everybody
How do i train my cat on peeing in a litter box? ... he only poos in a litterbox and pee any where
Hi, Syadaomi _.Thank you for your question. We recommend checking out the Petco Community for great advice and tips on the training your cat t use the litter box: goo.gl/fBEOw8. Good luck!
My male cat does the same
@@petco What's the point of this video, then?
Castrate the cat
My cat does the exact same thing idk what to do
this really help thank you
This is very helpful
Thanks😂
You guys are the best because i love your videos and you help me with cat eshoe
Some people believe pushing a cat's nose gently in the area where it pooped, not directly in the poop that's already been cleared up, and then gently pop her in her tray nose first, she will learn to use the litter tray more quickly and better. But some people think that's cruel. Dog poop however is more difficult to manage because a poop scoop and doggy poop bags outside is what a dog needs. And a dog who puts its own nose in its own poop is gross.
She is so cute ..! so is her owner!
Thank you for this video ! It’s really helpful! I can’t wait to try it out soon........
That’s what my good friend said. 👭
I saved a cat from the streets and it knows how to use a litter box already
Jαԃα マフィン :p I mean are you sure it was abandoned and not just lost
dude,mine does not
Ur so kind
I did the same thing but she doesn't know how to use it yet. She thinks it's food 🤷🏽♀️
we also saved a female cat from the streets into our house, during the first days she was using our shower sink hole in the ground to pee and poo, it was like she already knew what to do, but then now a few weeks passed by and she is peeing on different parts of the house, when we keep the bathroom always clean, I wonder why that is and how to change this behavior (if possible at all)
Thank you and God bless
My cat is 2 years old and she’s never consistently used her litter box, most of the time she pees just right to it, but not in it
BRO everytime dynamics scream gets me😭
When my cat does his business outside, he goes in the middle of the yard - he needs no privacy!
Same but we got a dog so I have to keep my cat in my room
Sincere question: do you leave the poop out there to fertilize your yard, or do you have to go hunting for it each and every time???
@@superdemonboy It will "burn" the grass if you leave it (& annoy the person cutting the grass) so I use my spring rake to "sweep" it into the flower garden. Kitty uses the same general area so there's not a lot of hunting to do.
They bury it...I never see it
My cat uses the litter box but also poops around the house lol
What a nice video
Thank you.
Petco!!!!❤️❤️❤️
TL;DR: notify your vet if the cat doesn't want to use the litter box.
Saved 3:14 minutes of your life.
I got a cat named fufu and it's very playful :)
I mean petco I will be saying this in some of petco videos
Yay thank you :3
What if I live in a 1 room micro-apartment in the city centre, how do I separate my cat’s spaces?
2:46 a cinnamon roll cat 😹😹😹😹😹
same!
i love cats. especially this one
Can someone tell me something I don't know. I have two litter boxes one cat. Unscented litter, ones closed ones open and 30 percent bigger. She'll pee in the closed one but doesn't use the open litter box at all. It's nowhere near her food. I occasionally put her food bowl near where she poops as a way of saying no not hear this area is food worthy. I'm about to try hiding the closed litter box so she has to use the open one. It's really not to bad to pick up poop but I really feel like she should know this instinctively.
My cat is really confusing. She has pooped in her litter box once but that's it. She has never peed in it and decides to pee on my bed instead. Everytime I see she's about to go pee pee on the bed I pick her up to her litter box but nothing happens and she leaves. I've put her in her litter box a couple more times and sometimes she would even lay in it, but she just won't pee or poo in it, why?
My guess is that it was the specific litter that was the problem, but what confused me is that she *has* pooped in her litter box with that specific litter, on her own (she never buried her poop tho) so that proved to me that she *can* do her business in the litter box, so I thought it would be settled from that point but nope, she still poops and pees elsewhere. We still ordered a new litter I hope it works! I'd really hate having to restrict my bed since she sleeps with me at night there now..
My cat is about 4 months old, maybe 5 months. He's always peeing everywhere and we think its because he was a wild kitten when we got him (He had his shots and everything though) . Will this still help to train him to only use the litter box ?

When we first got a car, we literally just set out a litter box and she started pooping there. The same thing happened with out second cat we got a few months later.
I never new cars could poop. huh, the more you know...
Cars can doosh?
CyanCelestial Cars use litter boxes???? *W O A H*
So this is how the legendary Car meme started😂
@@anesthesia3360 elaborate? lol
My 10 week old kitten has been in my home for over a month, and she still doesn't understand that the litter box is the only place she is supposed to pee. I'm giving her treats every time she uses it, but it's not working. Any advise?

Wait so how many times do u change the litter?
i have 3 kittens for a while now and ever since they were little the went to their litter box but lately one of them is doing her buisenes around the house in random places and i dont know why
I came here for How to potty train not where to place potty box for already trained cats
How often do u change the sand? Like once a month?
Clean the litter box at least once a day and change the litter at least once a week. Although it is never going to be on your list of 'My Favorite Things to Do,' removing the waste and changing the litter is often the best way to control odors.
My cat refuses to use a closed litter box. I am tired of finding litter on the floor and tracked throughout the house. What can I do?
I don't even have a cat,why am i watching this 😂😂😂
I'm getting a kitten so this is great edvice! 😉😜👌🤙
This video is old i know but it will probaly help me because i'm planning on getting a cat but i live in a apartament
Thank u but I have used kitten shampoo is just she dosent like it on her fur can u tell me what shampoo I should get her with vitamins thank u please
Hi Christina. Thank you for your question, for kitty shampoo, check out Espree Natural Kitten Shampoo:
goo.gl/ne7t4B. It's gentle, tearless and made with a hypo-allergenic solution. However, if your kitty isn't responding to bath time well, don't force the issue. You may want to consider trying alternative ways to clean her coat such as this waterless cat shampoo: goo.gl/WpO18d. It's a leave-in formula that leaves your cat's coat soft and shiny while providing a calm and relaxing scent. Also, here's a blog from our community about bathing cats that may be helpful: goo.gl/IiPSUI. Good luck!
i mean when they are not trained to use litter then how would we know?
I’ve never had a cat but I’m thinking about getting one. How do they know what the litter box is used for?
Hi there. We sometimes imagine that it takes a lot of time and effort to train a cat to use a litter box. But the truth is cats automatically know how to use it. Check 10 facts about cat litter box behaviors here:

MISINFORMATION!
Your video title includes 'Train' yet zero training tips offered, and you're trying to justify it!
I often take in stray cats during storms and cold weather, and THEY DO NOT AUTOMATICALLY know how to use a litter box! Why would they? Such an idiotic thing to say!

My cat: uses toilet
My four year old DLH cat started pooping on the carpet after he had diarrhea. I've confined him to one room again and now he's pooping on the floor of that room. What's next? Confine him to a closet with the litter box? I'd hate to put him in a shelter but he has to stop pooping on my floor before he finds himself in a new home.
okay but how do you train them to use the litter box?
Leann A. Put them in it multiple times until they understand
So my 16yo cat was fine, until we got a kitten. The new kitten has his own litter box upstairs, but will still go and use the older cats litter as well. Now the older cat will not go in his litter box, but not sure how to stop kitten from going in his box. HELP!!!
We're sorry to hear your older kitty is having some trouble adjusting, Ranae. We recommend consulting with your veterinarian to rule out any underlying medical issue, as inappropriate urination can be a warning sign.

Pooping and peeing is naturally what a cat does. I never did any training for it other than showing the cat where it was.
That's great! Most kitties pick up the behavior naturally, but in case issues ever arise, these tips can potentially help.
is that Kelis?
I need help on this. He was doing ok but after turning 1 years old he dont want to pee in the litter box anymore. sos.
We're sorry to hear you're having some trouble, Kyah. We recommend first checking in with your veterinarian, to ensure there is no underlying health concern that is causing this unwanted behavior.

What if you have a new kitten that's 1 month old and hasn't used a litter box. Also, what if she just sits in it and just play around with the litter?
+MadyFab Kittens generally learn how to use a litter box from their mom/other cats. If she is pottying elsewhere, try relocating some of the urine/poop to the litter box to show her that is where it should be. Also, by instinct, cats generally will go to the bathroom in the same area. If she is pottying somewhere else consistently, you may want to consider putting the litter box there. It's also best to have multiple litter boxes. Some cats will elect to make some litter boxes play areas and others bathroom areas. What type of litter and litter box are you using? Kittens usually do better at first with an open litter box (no lid) so it is not intimidating and some cats prefer one type of litter over another. We recommend changing one thing at a time so you can assess what is effective in training this little girl. Here's an article from our community on different types of cat litter: goo.gl/iIhk0q and litter boxes: goo.gl/0zPy5w. Good luck!
He poops outside lol
My cats they would poop and pee next to our door and under the table. How do I stop it? Like I really love them and I’ve been trying to make them poo and pee in the litter. Should I use another type of brand litter??

i need avice so i have this new baby kitten and shes about 5 mouths now and every time she sees it she runsi gently put her in it and she looks around and run strait out this is my first. kitten i don't know what to do
Hi Aniyah. It may be best to keep her confined in a small room (like a bathroom) for the first few days. Kitties are clean by nature, and limiting her options should entice her to use her litter box. Be sure to keep fresh food and water in the room, and bedding as well. We also recommend posting this in our community for tips, tricks, and advice from other pet parents. You can check it out here: community.petco.com. Good luck!
What if you only have 1 litter box

ANY TIPS CUZ THIS VIDEO IS HELPLESS!
Hi there! We recommend submitting your inquiry to our team of experts here: www.petcoach.co/.
Hi, was your cat able to use the litter box. Mine is stray too and he is about 2 years old. Idk how to train him to use the litter box.
My kitten has always used the litter box, but she doesn't cover her poo & I smell it through the house. At night I lock the back screen door but leave wooden door open because of this & I live alone
Did you know male cats are more affectionate then female cats that's why when school ends I'm getting a male cat
I don't want my cat to be more affectionate. Female cats are better mousers and they are easier to control. Male cats are too aggressive and rebellious.
Wow thanks! My cat pooped on the carpet very usefull!
I only have 5 week old cat
I never had to teach my how to use a litter box. It poops by itself.
I rescued a kitten from my grandparents roof her mum also abandoned her and all there was was wood planks and wood shavings and I can't get my kitten to usE the litter box any advice

(TдT) i already put her in the litter box countless times especially when she acts like she wants to poo (sniffing around and such)
+Mish Jelly Sometimes kittens take some time to potty train. You may want to confine her to a bedroom or bathroom until she gets the hang of it. :)
Petco yes she's in my bedroom but i have to mop my bedroom everyday
you should check in with a vet in case the kitten has urinal issues
why am i watching this my cat knows how to use the box
My cats box breaks so many of these rules
How do you stop your kitten from kicking the litter out of the box?
You can't stop her/him. You just need to get a closed litter box so the litter won't go out of the box
