How to get a cat to use Litter Box in New House

Cats make wonderful pets for a variety of reasons. I enjoy spending time with them and think they’re adorable (most of the time). On this point, cat lovers will concur with me.

There is nothing cuter than a cat. However, what’s in store for all of these perks? Peeing! Spraying! These words have the power to frighten you to the point of insanity.

Untrained cats can defecate and squirt all over your new home, making it stink to the core.

Moving into a new house can be a scary experience for a cat. A cat has no one-size-fits-all personality; some are shy, while others are more outgoing and confident. Regardless of their personality, cats are going through a difficult adjustment as they are separating from their family for the first time in their lives.

Keeping this in mind, it’s ideal for keeping it in a place where it can gradually adapt to its unfamiliar setting during the first few weeks. Toilet training will go more smoothly if your cat is confined, and you won’t have to worry about messes all over the home.

Check out the ideas below if you’re curious about getting your cat to utilize a new litter box:

• You must be at the right place at the right time

It’s all about the place! As with real estate, the location of your cat’s litter box might assist in smoothing the transfer to a new one. If the box you’re moving isn’t the one your cat is used to, she may become confused and she may be used to in that sleep in the litter box too. So, keep the old one along with you.

If the new box may be positioned just where the previous one was. Thus, she’ll be able to see that this new box serves a purpose identical to the previous one.

It’s likely that your cat won’t protest if you’re using the same litter and litter box. The shock of the transition can be minimized if you keep the new box in the same place, such as a self-cleaning or hooded one. Even if you’re moving to a new area, keep the existing litter box there for the time being. Clean the new package more frequently to make it more appealing. When she sees the benefits of using the new litter box, the cat should be able to switch to it independently.

• Do not discard the old container

Even if it’s tempting, don’t immediately discard the old box when the new one comes. Put a new one for its assigned place and put the old one back in its original place. Cats despise a filthy litter box, thus it will make the one she’s used to less appealing. She may be able to deduce that the contents of both boxes are the same. The new toy is likely to be adopted by your cat on her own accord.

 

• Utilize their sense of smell to your advantage

Cats have a keen sense of smell. They are drawn to fragrances they recognize and appreciate. Pour some of the old litter into the new box to encourage your cat to be used. When your cat is familiar with the aroma, it is more likely to accept the new box.

To assist you in eliminating the problem of your cat urinating all over the home, I recommend reading this advice that will help you a great deal.

Good Luck!
