The use of cat caves is not very common in China, especially in cities with high-rise buildings, and there is no cat cave gate. In remote areas, there is a relatively rustic saying: The door is also a variant of cat cave. If you are lucky enough to have a cat cave, how should you train your cat to use it proficiently?

Cat hole is mainly used when the owner determines that the pet cat can go out independently and can come and go freely. The cat cave is the door for cats to enter and exit the house. When the owner no longer has home, the pet cat can go through the cat cave and go out for a walk, and then return home smoothly after passing the cat cave. So how can cats learn to use cat holes?

Strictly speaking, the main method used to train cats to use cat holes is the temptation method. If the cat doesn't want to approach the cat's hole at the beginning, put it next to the door and set it up. Then encourage the cat to drill holes and lure the cat out with food outside the door, or gently lift the cat out. It won’t take long to love a pet cat and learn to open the cat’s hole.

Of course, when choosing a cat hole door, breeders should also pay attention. The cat hole door should not be too high from the ground, and you must choose a hole door with a lock. This kind of locked cat hole can prevent cats from slipping out at night, and also prevent wild cats from entering the home.
