Cats have a natural tendency to want to potty in the sand or soil where kitties may rake with their paws. Also little kitties begin to learn from their mother, so by the time your kitten is prepared to be taken to your home utilizing a litter box will likely feel comfortable to her. She will probably need a small bit of direction though.

Felines are personal with their litter box habits so be certain you put the litter box in a peaceful place that the kitten can simply access. When you bring her home take her over to the litter box and place her in it. She will likely jump out but that is ok. You want to get her comfortable with it. It’s good to put her in the litter box a few times a day until you notice she is using it regularly. If you notice her using it step back and let her have her privacy.

Cats usually start using the litter box pretty rapidly, but if for some cause your kitten isn’t using it don’t punish her. This may confuse her or cause stress which can lead to other problems. Rather than reprimand it’s best to clean the mess well and begin setting her in the litter box more oftentimes until she begins getting the flow of it.

If she continues to mess beyond the litter box watch to see if she is either straining to go to the bathroom or has diarrhea. These could be signals of a medical trouble which may be causing the litter box issues. In this instance you will need to consult your vet.

You’ll have much greater luck litter coaching your precious little kitten if you keep the litter box in a silent room where the kitten feels safe. Maintain the litter box away from high traffic regions and apart from obnoxious appliances. It also must be convenient, so if you have multiple levels in your home you should keep a litter box on every level. And maintain all litter boxes aside from the feeding area. Not unlike us felines don’t enjoy going to the potty where they eat.

I hope this advice helps you get started with your new furry little friend. But if anything goes wrong, you should look for more information on removing cat urine. It might be an repellent topic, but understanding how to deal with cat spraying can be essential to you and your beloved kitten’s peace.

I suggest you keep one litter box for every cat plus one extra. I acknowledge this may be problematic in tiny houses or condos so at least keep one litter box per feline.
