Cats are basically clean animals. Perhaps you have seen one or two grooming himself or one another, or covering a recent defecated area. Although sometimes, due to medical conditions and stress cats tend to eliminate body wastes anywhere they choose to, so it is a must to potty train them to prevent any inconvenience inappropriate elimination can make. Cat potty training is best started when your pet is still a kitten, just like children it is then when foundations are built.

To start potty training the first thing you need is to find a good litter box, one that is made of plastic is preferable since this kind of material is cheaper, easier to clean, and will not let the odor out after usage.

Next, find a good cat litter as there are two kinds of cat litter the clumping and the non-clumping. The clumping kind makes cleaning of the litter box easier, but they are both effective so it's entirely up to you to choose between them. When filling the litter box with cat litter, it is best to fill it up a third of the way full, because cats like to dig on the surface before defecating.

After preparing the materials needed simply follow these cat potty training steps:

Put the litter box near the bathroom, when your cat finds its location he will begin using it.

After a week raise the litter box a little bit higher by placing something underneath it like cardboard box and the likes.

Elevate the litter box a bit higher every day until it gradually is along the level of the toilet.

Lift the toilet lid so that your cat can learn how to tread along the surface of the toilet seat.

Then move the litter box on top of the toilet seat, and leave it this way for about a week.

After a week or two, you can now remove the litter box from the toilet seat and put a metal bowl inside the toilet bowl. Remember to add cat litter for the recognition purposes of the cat.

Your cat will then get used to it and start using the toilet bowl.

As soon as your cat learns how to use the bowl, the next thing to do is to teach him how to squat. Hold his legs to correct his position, for beginners holding both of the front legs would be the right way in directing your cat on the right posture. Do this until he has fully mastered the stance.

Upon learning how to squat, support him by lifting his hind legs this way you can assist your cat in balancing in such position.

When your cat knows how to balance alone, start removing the cat litter, replacing it with water, adding more contents every now and then.

When your cat becomes fully comfortable using the toilet bowl, then you can remove the metal bowl and its content and your cat potty training is then completed.
