Keeping Your Kitten Comfortable
Clean the litter box every day
Kittens do not like to relieve themselves in a dirty area, if you don't change the litter then the kittens will find a cleaner place, like your bed. To clean the litter box just scoop out the waste and throw it away. You can leave a small bit of feces in the litter box, changing it frequently during the first few weeks. This helps the kitten recognize what the box is for.
Clean the entire box frequently
Once a week you will need to completely dump the contents of the litter pan and give it a thorough cleaning. Once the pan is emptied out, wash it with non-hazardous cleaning solutions, for information on this visit my favorite shopping location www.livingmygreenlife.com. Now rinse the pan, dry it and refill with clean litter. It can be tempting to leave scoopable litter for longer than one week due to the ease of removing, however even scoopable litter needs to be completely emptied and replaced frequently.
Clean accident areas thoroughly
If your kitten or cat uses the bathroom outside of the litter box, be sure that you completely clean the area, removing traces of urine and feces. This should help reduce repeat accidents.
Consider removing large potted plants from your home
If you find that your kitten is using the dirt in your potted plants for a toilet, you may need to remove them or cover the dirt with foil during litter training.
Feed the kitten at regular times
This will help you predict when she will need to use the litter box. Kittens generally feel the urge to go about 20 minutes after they eat. When you think she has the urge, take her to the box and let her climb in.
