Litter Box Training for Your New Kitten
Most kittens are fairly easy to litter train and will generally begin to use a litter tray soon after being introduced to one. Your new cat may already know how to use a litter pan, since many kittens learn to use it from watching their mothers. Keep in mind that cats can be very finicky. They can be easily put off by something for lots of reasons - some of which we may never understand!. That’s why its important to choose the right pan, and train your cat properly
Kittens prefer to go outside to relieve themselves, and you should keep this in mind before you start litter training. Picking a cat litter pan that your cat likes and will actually use is important, as using a cat litter box goes against her natural instincts. In order to achieve success with litter training, you will need to bear the following things in mind:
1. Your kitten will litter train easier if she uses the same type of litter she’s been used to. Find out what she’s been using, and purchase the same brand and type.
2. You will want to pick a litter pan that easy for your kitten to get in and out of. Fill the pan according to the cat litter manufacturer’s directions. The litter pan should be deep enough so that your cat doesn’t scatter litter all over the floor during use.
3. The litter pan should be placed in a traffic-free area of your home. It should be kept away from your kitten’s food and water, and easily accessible. If necessary, provide more than one litter tray for your kitten to use, to allow her easy access to a tray throughout your home.

Steps To Toilet Training Cats
Toilet training cats is not as hard as it is often thought. Many people are often surprised to learn how easy it is to actually train cats. It is a matter of gaining a better understanding of knowing how your cat thinks.
There are a few things that you will need to understand first if you want to toilet train your cat.
First of all you need to understand something about your cat. Most cats are not very responsive to being reprimanded. When you catch your cat doing something wrong, you can reprimand it by the tone of your voice. It's pointless reprimanding your pet unless you catch it in the act.
Cats like other creatures live in the moment, and don't spend too much time worrying about yesterday or tomorrow. So if you catch your cat in the act of doing its business on your carpet, don't even think about rubbing its nose in it. This will just result in your cat distancing itself from you.
Back to toilet training cats, you can toilet train your cat in a week or it might take a month or so. It is dependent on your connection with your cat, and its character traits.
The first thing that you will need to do if you want to toilet train your cat is to move its litter tray next to your toilet. This will enable your cat to realise that the toilet is there.

How To Stop a Cat from Spraying
Years ago, I owned a male cat that suddenly started spraying in the house. At first, I thought it was just a refusal to share the litter box with my other cat. When buying a separate litter box didn’t address the issue, I decided it was time to look at other possibilities.
I learned that not only is it an annoying habit, but unfortunately, it can also be a difficult problem to break. Today, we’ll take a look at some of the reasons why male cats spray and what can be done to break the habit.
