The appearance of a new pet in the house requires not only careful treatment of him, not only attention and care, but also upbringing. Yes, the kitten, just like the child, should not feel permissive, so he should become familiar with the discipline. If you think that the kitten does not understand anything, then as a result of it will grow arrogant, untidy and harmful animal, which does not disdain to shit you in sneakers or bed. To prevent this from happening, the kitten should be trained to the tray immediately after it has appeared in your home. Getting acquainted with such good rules as walking in the tray will save you from many problems with the pet in the future.
We accustom to the tray: where to start?
Many people think about the age at which the kitten is accustomed to the tray and, as a result, take it too late. This creates additional difficulties, because the kid is already used to have in free use all available space. Therefore, the training of the kitten to the tray must be started when the kid began to confidently hold on the paws and study the world with interest.
Of course, it's impossible to make him go to the kitten tray from the first days, because even a child can not be taught to use a pot in the first days of life. Give the cat a little time to get comfortable.
Accustoming the kitten to the tray: a few tips
When it's time to solve the problem, why the kitten does not go into the tray, the algorithm for your actions should be as follows:
- The tray must always be in the same place, preferably somewhere in the corner, so that nothing can scare the kid and distract him from the process. In addition, it is the constancy that will help you to quickly teach the kitten to cope with the need for a strictly designated place.
- Watch the pet. Accustoming the kitten to the tray requires patience and time. You need to observe the behavior of the animal, in time to introduce it to the tray. If the kitten began to turn around in search of a convenient place, sitting down on the hind legs - this is the right indication that he is ready to do their business. Once you notice this behavior - quickly and accurately transfer the kitten to the tray. It is important that the small kitten at first does not leave the limits of the space reserved for him, in which are his bowl, bed and toilet for reasons of your own convenience. If the tray is located in one corner of the apartment, and the kitten is in another, it will be difficult for you to react quickly and teach him to use the tray in time.
- Punish. Of course, the word "punishment" here is not entirely appropriate, but you have to demonstrate your discontent to the kitten if he did not go to the tray. You can even raise your voice, but in no case do not take physical action. Some say that it is necessary to poke the kitten a few times with a nose in a heap, however this is not particularly effective. If you notice that the work has already been done, move all the sovochkom in the tray - the kittens are guided by the smell, and the next time the pet
you will not be disappointed.
There are also special fillers for trays, which, thanks to a special specific smell, attract the kittens and they are quickly accustomed to cope with their natural needs in such a container. If the kitty has stopped going into the tray, it may be necessary to change the filler to another one, or, perhaps, you have offended the pet and it demonstrates such behavior to you.
Cats are wayward and independent animals, and they need a special approach from childhood. If you immediately find a common language with a pet and playfully teach him the rules of feline etiquette, you will grow a clean, obedient and affectionate pet.
