Some people think that it is impossible to know how to train a cat. Cat training is a virtual impossibility to most people, even to avid cat lovers. While it’s true that training cats can be very difficult, especially if your cat is particularly stubborn or independent, it is not impossible. Of course, as with any animal, kitten training is easier, but you can successfully train your adult cat too, though it may take more patience to train a cat who already is set in his ways.

This triggers the need to bury their excrement and teaches them that this is where they should eliminate. Then leave your new cat in the box for a moment. He may jump out right away. Don’t be alarmed: this may just mean that he doesn’t have to go right now. The chances are good that he will find the litter box again when he needs to eliminate.
Cats tend to instinctively know how to use a litter box. However, you can’t expect your new cat to feel comfortable enough in his new home to find a litter box that is too far away from his normal living space. For example, if he spends most of his time on the ground floor of your home, put his box on that floor.
