Neo asked:
Hello there, my missus and I decided to take a cat we believe is a stray into our home and keep him. We had him nutared and have been loking after him for about a week (although we have had him around for almost 3 weeks now) He is a young cat and its taking time to build up his confidence of humans as he is not the most trusting cat, but we are slowly making progress. We also have another cat who is older and is having a serious problem adjusting to another cat in the house (but thats another problem).
Our main concern right now is that out new cat doesnt know about kitty litter , we have tried to place him in the tray but he begins to panic when we try resulting in a struggle and the cat running to the front door.
When he wants the toilet he scraps at the front door carpet quite severely until we open the door, he then disapears for about a day before returning.
How do you train a youngish cat to use a litter tray?
Thanks for your help in advance.
