The first thing that you should take into consideration is the age of your cat. Make sure your kitten is 8 weeks old as a kitten below 8 weeks cannot be trained properly to toilet in a litter.

Make sure your cat has a name and make her familiar with that name. It is essential as a name plays an important role in the toilet training a cat. She will respond faster if you both became familiar with the name.

It is a fact that cats have the tendency of hiding their wastes. Before starting training them, buy a litter tray so that the cat may know where she has to eliminate her waste product. Make sure the litter tray you buy is made up of enamel or plastic. Fill the litter with some soil, sawdust, sand and cat litters (commercial). These materials are essential for toilet training a cat.

It is a fact that if a kitten is raised with the mother who uses litter tray to eliminate wastes, the kitten automatically learns to use litter tray to eliminate wastes. Try to familiar your cat with the litter tray. Put your cat inside the litter tray after she finished eating or after she finished playing or even after she wakes up. This will help her in getting familiar to the litter tray.

Make sure that you put the litter tray in a hidden and silent place while toilet training a cat as the cats do not like to be seen when eliminating wastes.

Praise the cat or acknowledge her after she eliminates her wastes in the litter box. This can be done by patting on her head or some food rewards can also be used. If your cat is not using the litter tray, then try to teach her by correcting her at the time she eliminate wastes. This can be done by shouting loudly “NO” or splashing the cat at the time she eliminate wastes at some other place. This will help her in learning about what is right and what is wrong. Make sure you do not use physical punishment as this can ruin your relationship with the cat.

Move the litter tray towards the toilet slowly and steadily. Make sure that you make only slight changes as a big change to the place of litter tray can make your cat suspicious or can even confuse her.

Remove the litter tray eventually and your cat will keep coming to the toilet bowl and your mission of toilet training a cat is accomplished.

Now, you must have learned toilet training a cat, so go ahead and train your cat.
