Our adopted boy had an accident over the weekend - we think he may have been hit by a car and unfortunately has some damage to his right back leg.
We took him to the vet who advised us to keep him in over the next week or so because he is unable to put any weight on to his injured leg . I feel terrible for the poor chap because I know he wants to go outside to relieve himself but I can't let him. We have bought a litter tray for him to use but he doesn't seem interested/to understand what it is for.
He was a stray before we adopted him (or perhaps more accurately before HE adopted us) and so I have no idea as to his background but it doesn't appear that he has used one before.
Does anybody have any tips/advice or previous experience in teaching an adult cat who is used to going outside how to use a litter tray? Or is it a pointless exercise? Any help will be much appreciated
