if I leave my cat in a cage with a litter box, will my cat know where to use the bathroom if I take the litter box out the cage and place it somewhere in the house?

Answer 1

It is likely that your cat will know where to use the bathroom, even if you move the litter box out of the cage and place it somewhere in the house. Cats have a natural instinct to bury their waste, so they are usually able to find and use the litter box in its new location. However, it is always a good idea to monitor your cat for a few days after moving the litter box to make sure they are using it properly. If you notice any accidents outside of the litter box, you may need to do some retraining to reinforce where the bathroom area is located.
