Cats have a natural tendency to want to potty in the sand or soil where they can rake with their paws. In addition cute little kittens start to learn from their mommy, so by the time your kitty is ready to be brought to your home using a litter box will probably feel comfortable to her. She will probably need a small bit of steering however.

Cats are personal with their litter box habits so be certain you put the litter box in a quiet location that the kitten can simply access. When you take her home bring her over to the litter box and place her into it. She will likely jump out yet that’s okay. 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, however if for some cause your kitten isn’t utilizing it don’t punish her. This will befuddle her or elicit stress which can lead to other problems.

If she continues to mess outside of the litter box watch to catch if she is either straining to go to the bathroom or has diarrhea. These could be indications of a medical trouble which may be causing the litter box problems. In this case you must consult your vet.

You’ll have much better luck litter training your precious little kitten if you maintain the litter box in a silent room where the kitten feels secure. Maintain the litter box away from high traffic regions and away from loud appliances. It also must be handy, so if you have multiple levels in your house you should keep a litter box on each level. And maintain all litter boxes aside from the cat’s feeding area. Not unlike us kitties don’t enjoy going to the potty where they eat.

I hope this helps you get a good start with your new kitten. But if anything goes wrong, you should look for more info on how to remove cat urine. I know it may be an repellent topic, but knowing how to deal with cat spraying can be critical to you and your beloved kitten’s peace.

I suggest you keep 1 litter box for every feline plus 1 extra. I know this can be difficult in small houses or condos so at least keep 1 litter box per cat.
