litter box encourages this good behavior. They will continue to
use this litter box unless it gets dirty. Here are a few tips on
getting your cat to use the litter box all of the time.

small ones there is also a automatic cleaning box that has a
rake that rakes the dirty litter in a storage bag. Some people
use the disposable litter box's that come with the litter
already inside so you don't have to mess with the litter.

to scoop up. You should change your cats litter box at least
every other day to keep your house smelling fresh and clean.

How to toilet train your cats. First make sure the litter box is
in a safe and clean area and away from lots of traffic but be
sure your cats have access to it. Make sure cats also know where
the litter box is often showing him/her. If you have more than
one cat make sure you have more than one litter box cats don't
like to share the same.
Also make sure the litter box is cleaned once a day. There is a
scoop you can use to scoop out the soiled litter. You should put
in about 1 inch of litter in the box is plenty. Never yell or
hit your cats if he/she has an accident just simply tell her no
and place her in the litter box.
Do not place the litter box near his/her food. Cats do not like
to eat in the same place they have urinated. Never clean the
litter box if you are pregnant because it contains toxoplasmosis
in the fecal witch could cause harm to your baby. Cats will
urinate on clean places such as your couch or carpet when they
have a dirty litter box. Making sure that it is clean is very
important in training your cat.
Cats need attention and sometimes will leave deposits of
unwanted urine and feces in places, due to lack of attention. If
your cat feels neglected they will get mad and do things to make
you pay attention to them. You should spend daily time with your
cat to make them feel loved and wanted. They will respond much
better when you take the time to show them attention.
Male cats should be neutered as they like to spray to mark
their territory. So you should make sure that they are neutered
so they don't make any more mess. You can use vinegar and water
to make the smell go away. You can use half water and half
vinegar to clean this up. This will keep your cat from returning
to that spot to use again.
