how do i get my kitty to use the litter box and not the bed?

Question

my kitty wont use the litter box.the box and litter is new.i put it in my bed room and she uses the bed to pee and the floor to poop.what can i do?

Answer 1

Remove the litter box from your bedroom keep the door closed and kitty out, steam clean your mattress and your bedding or clean with an enzymatic cleaner.

Once kitty is well trained you can put a second box back into the bedroom and see if kitty will use it and not your bed. If she uses the bed repeat as above and NO box in your bedroom. Keep kitty out at that point.

Answer 2

If you have other cats in the house, kitty will need his own personal box. Also, you do have to teach kitty how to use the litter box. Put him in the box and hold him there. With one free hand gently take his paw and do the scratching of the litter a few times. And there you go. He is already trained. For real. That's what I did when training kittens in the past. Don't get too attached to kitty if kitty continues to use the bed. Then your only option is to get a new kitty,
OK this is every-bodies cue to give me thumbs down.

Answer 3

make sure your cat knows where the litter box is. And everytime it does poo on your bed scoop it up and put it in the litter box and then show it to your cat. Your cat is proberly as confused as you are over this

Answer 4

Try changing litter brands....maybe kitty does not like it

Answer 5

Well we just put ours in there a couple of times until she finally started using it!!!
