Hello everyone !
I haven't brought a kitty home yet, but have been reading about litter training.
My kitty will be a house cat, so litter training will be very important.
Now the first thing that worries me, is that i have an open apartment its hard to restrict the new kitty to one room with his food, bed and litter tray, so do you think this will be a problem?
Some people even go so far as to say you have to put the kitty in some kind of pen so he doesnt mess all over the house. I realy dont want to do this, i want him to feel free when he comes to his new home.
Do you have any tips for to potty train succesfully?
I read a tip that you could even put ammonia in the tray so he thinks other cats have peed in there too ? that sounds good, what do you think?
Lastly, i read that finicky cats prefer fine sand type litter or even soil. so is it possible to use "real" sand?
I hope someone has some advice fo me?
You see, we've got new carpets and rugs, so i dont mind the odd accident in the beginnig but i would really like to get him trained as well as i can.
Thanks so much
