Teach an old cat new (toilet) tricks?
Posted: Mon Jul 25, 2016 10:56 am
Hi
I have two rescue cats who are now 8 years old. They were house cats for the first 3 years of their lives but for the last 5 years have enjoyed going outside, albeit in short little bursts. My garden doesn't have any loose soil (nor do my neighbours) so I kept up with the litter tray for them and found a fairly good one that can stay outside, although where it is so contained, I do worry it's a bit like a gas chamber in there for them!
I'm moving house later this week to somewhere with a much bigger garden and soil that they could dig around in, and my question is, is it too late to teach them to do their business outside?
Does anyone have any experience of this or any advice?
(Obviously I'll be keeping them indoors for a good few weeks post-move.)
Many thanks
Lisa
