Cats - creatures wayward. And they have a strong character, let's say. Despite the natural intelligence and ingenuity, these animals often suffer because of their own stubbornness and unwillingness to put up with the rules established by man. For example, they ignore the tray prepared for the latticework and persistently cope with the need in the place that they choose themselves. Most owners of cats do not have this problem when the animal lives in the house almost from infancy, and at the same age it was accustomed to the tray (kittens are generally easy to get into the tray). If an adult cat settles in your house, which was previously accustomed to the tray, then most likely she will quickly figure out where in the new house is her toilet and will use them properly. However, this may not happen if the change of residence in an animal causes real stress, and discarding the tray will become a kind of protest. To accustom to a tray it is necessary also the adult cat taken from street or simply got used to go on need on freedom, instead of in a plastic cuvette. Therefore, the question of how to do this is far from idle. For many, the refusal of the cat to use the tray becomes a stumbling block in the relationship with the animal. As a result of a fight that is unsuccessful for a person, such stubborn people move to the private sector at best, and at worst even find themselves on the street. Let's not talk about the moral side of this behavior of the owners of stubborn cats, but we'll talk about how to still try to accustom an adult cat to go into the tray. 
Choose a place for the toilet
Cats are delicate creatures. As a passer-by, they choose secluded corners hidden from prying eyes. Therefore for a tray in the house too it is necessary to choose such place. The most suitable place for placing the cat's tray in the apartment will be a bathroom or toilet, as well as a balcony (loggia), if it is insulated. In addition, do not forget that the animal at any time should be able to go to your toilet without hindrance. This will allow you to quickly and easily accustom your cat or cat to a new toilet. Categorically not suitable for cat litter kitchen and hallway. First, it is unacceptable from the point of view of apartment hygiene. Agree that the toilet (even a cat) is not the place in the kitchen, where they cook food or in the corridor where people dress and train. A conditionally suitable place can be considered a pantry if it is convenient for you and for your cat. Secondly, the cat may refuse to use the toilet where people often are: she, as already said, is a delicate creature. 
Select the tray
If an adult cat before settling inyour house, did not know what a tray is, then he should like it: be spacious enough and comfortable that she recognized him as a toilet. What does a convenient tray mean? First of all, deep: after all it is intended for an adult animal. The depth of the tray should not be less than ten centimeters. This will allow the cat to dig into it to prepare a place for an intimate process, and then hide its results. In addition, the high sides of the tray will not allow the filler to spill onto the floor. And the width and length of the tray should be sufficient to ensure that the animal is fully fit. An alternative to the tray-cuvette is a special toilet house that will be convenient for the cat and will facilitate your care of the cat's toilet. The fact is that such special houses are equipped with filters that purify the air from the natural smell of what remains in it after the cat's visit there. And if you do not have time to remove the tray, the filters neutralize the smell. Cats, too, with great pleasure begin to walk on the need, using houses, as these toilets are equipped with a roof and walls and completely hide the cat from prying eyes. Yes, and place such a closed toilet can not only be in the bathroom, but even in the hallway - a cat or a cat that will not embarrass.
Accustoming the cat to the toilet
Very often animals understand intuitively, forwhat is intended for them a tray. And yet, some effort you will have to make to accustom an adult cat to a new toilet. By the way, the common opinion that it is easier to cram a cat to a tray than a cat is wrong. Yes, of course, the cat is driven by the instincts of the male, according to which he must mark the territory in a known way. Therefore, very often in a new environment, the animal begins to leave marks. But the cat is more capricious. And if she does not like the place, she will persistently refuse to go to the tray and choose a place for the toilet herself. But let's start in order. First, you need to keep an eye on the animal. The cat will want to fix the need soon after the meal. Although, we note that they can endure for a long time. By the way, to introduce a cat with a toilet can be immediately after her appearance in the house. As we have already said, animals often intuitively understand the purpose of the tray. If, in your case, it happened, the problem is solved: once in the tray, the cat (or cat) will start using it constantly. But if the animal did not immediately recognize the toilet in the tray, then wait until it becomes necessary. If you want to go to the toilet, the cat will start to look for a secluded place to cope with the need. Having noticed this, take the animal, take it to the tray and put it in it. Stroke, calm down and move away. Most likely, a cat, begins to dig filler, bridge and in the end will do its job in the tray. If she jumps out of the tray and tries to escape, again and again, return it to the tray until she has coped with the need. Another variant. Seeing that the cat has chosen a place and has already paved to pee or poke, quickly put the tray in this place and plant an animal in it. Being already practically in the process, the animal will continue the matter, being in the tray. Do not change the filler: the next time the cat starts to look for the toilet by smell. If she again go to her former place, then take her to the tray. Sensing a familiar smell, the cat will use the tray to the destination. If the animal still returns to its original location, put the tray in place for a while and start moving it gradually to where you originally intended to place the tray. This will take time, but for an animal such a process of movement will be invisible. And one more tip. If you took a cat from the street, then for the first time do not fill the tray with filler, but with ordinary earth or sand: the usual consistency and the smell of what is in the tray will help the cat to understand what the cuvette is intended for. If the animal in your absence has puffed in a secluded corner, pat the puddle with a napkin and put this napkin in the tray. If, in addition to the puddle, the animal left behind itself and more visible traces, then these "traces" also carry in the tray. And the place chosen by the cat for the toilet, generously treat with ammonia or acetic essence: a strong and sharp smell will cause the animal to ignore this place. 
Possible problems
It happens that you have to force to go into theAn adult cat, who until recently enjoyed it willingly. Before scolding the animal, contact the veterinarian: this behavior can be an alarm and talk about animal health problems. Such behavior of an adult cat or cat can also indicate an uncomfortable tray or an improper place for a toilet. Allow the cat to choose the place for the tray and equip the toilet there. More cats can squeam a crappy tray. Some animals insistently meow, drawing your attention to this problem, while others ignore the dirty tray silently, just by finding a new place where you can go to the toilet. Many cats do not want to walk in the same tray with another animal. And if in your house there is not only one cat, then for each animal, purchase a separate tray. In general, it is impossible to say how easy it will be for you to accustom a cat to a toilet. It all depends on the nature, temperament and ingenuity of the animal. But nothing is impossible. With enough patience on your part, the cat will sooner or later recognize the tray as a place for the toilet and begin to walk into it. Be persistent and inventive, and you will succeed!
