Things You'll Need
- Cat litter tray
- Cat litter
- Cleaning cloths
- Cleaning spray
Instructions
Remove items that might look like places to defecate to a kitten, notably pot plants and seed trays. Place them out of reach or in a room the kitten won't visit.
Position the litter tray somewhere quiet and easily accessible to the kitten. Place newspapers underneath, in case the kitten kicks out litter in the beginning.
Show the kitten where the litter tray is. A few hours after bringing the kitten home, pick her up and put her in the tray.
Place the kitten in the litter tray a few times a day, especially just after meals and when the kitten has woken from a sleep.
Clean up any accidents immediately with a cleaning spray. You need to remove the odor so the kitten doesn't use it as a cue in the future. Never scold or punish the kitten for accidents, she won't understand.
