Getting kitty to eliminate in the box is about patience, not punishment. Here are a few no-nos in retraining your cat: Do not rub her nose in urine or feces. Do not scold her and carry or drag her to the litter box. Do not confine her to a small room with the litter box, without first trying other methods for resolving her elimination problem. Do not place the litter box near the place where pets eat or drink. Do not give her treats to entice her to use the litter box. Cats don’t want to be disturbed while they are eliminating. However, you can place toys and treats near the box to help her overcome her aversion to the box. Clean up accidents with an enzymatic cleanser rather than an ammonia-based cleanser. Then, cover the area with foil or plastic sheeting and block it off for a few weeks to give the neutralizer time to work.
