Things You'll Need
- Litter pan
- Unscented cat litter
- Aluminum foil
Instructions
Place a litter pan where you would like your kitten to relieve itself.
Pour only about 1 to 2 inches of litter in the bottom of the litter pan because most cats prefer a shallow bed of litter to a deeper one.
Sprinkle a little bit of real dirt or soil in the kittens litter box to make it more inviting for cats that prefer real soil or a softer litter, according to the Humane Society of the United States.
Use a cat privacy screen to encourage kittens to use the litter box instead of hiding in the plants.
Scoop litter boxes daily to reduce the kittens' balking at a dirty litter box.
Provide at least one litter pan for each cat in a multiple-cat household.
Place aluminum foil around the base of the plant so that it covers the dirt entirely. Or place medium-size rocks on the plant's soil to deter the kitten from using the plant.
Gently place the kitten in its own litter box when it is looking for a place to dig in or around the plants and praise the kitten when it chooses to use the litter box.
