View Full Version : Training a litter tray trained cat to go outside MuteWitness 19-09-2005, 15:32 Wanting to train my cat to go outside insted of using his litter tray all the time, he has started to go out side but always comes back to use his tray. Ive put the tray outside and showed him it, left the door open and he still decided to use the floor insted Please help EdnaKrabappe 19-09-2005, 19:01 I've heard (but not tried) that if you mix litter with earth that this helps, slowly reducing the amount of litter. Then do the same outside. Obviously pick a place where you want your kitty to do his business - otherwise you could find yourself with a different thread in six months!

Eventually the tray will make its way outdoors and hopefully your problem will be solved. alchresearch 20-09-2005, 12:22 Originally posted by Saxon Eventually the tray will make its way outdoors and hopefully your problem will be solved. ... and become the problem of your neighbour!

Torch-lit training in neighbours gardens? "No kitty, their garden!" C'mon, you can tell us. Seriously though, one of my friends tried to wean a cat from litter tray to garden, the biggest problem wasn't moving the litter tray, the cat was just too used to crapping in that part of the house, took them a while to stop going in the spot where the litter tray used to be... kirky 20-09-2005, 14:31 Originally posted by f_g Wanting to train my cat to go outside insted of using his litter tray all the time, he has started to go out side but always comes back to use his tray.

They used both, until they could no longer find the litter tray. alchresearch 20-09-2005, 20:16 Originally posted by steev Even better! How long did that training take? Torch-lit training in neighbours gardens? "No kitty, their garden!" We even have a 'stray' cat that 'goes' straight into the drain! I'm hoping to get a video of it so Harry Hill can give me £250 on You've Been Framed. venger 21-09-2005, 07:25 Originally posted by kirky boot the scuffy git up the arse everytime it does it:thumbsup: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: Not to everyones taste but a surefire solution :clap: :clap: |
