Litter Box Acclimation
Q: How can I teach my kitten to use the litter box?

Answer: You will want to keep in mind that a young kitten is still a baby and will have accidents from time to time. That is the reason that we recommend confining the kitten to a small area of your home with easy access to his food, water and litter box until he is litter trained and gradually introduce him to the rest of the house.

Cats and kittens are meticulous, and you may find that your kitten's mother has already trained him to use a box. If not, it's usually relatively easy.

Make sure your kitten has immediate access to his litter box and that he can climb in and out with no extra effort (box lids work well). Watch him closely and place him in the litter box when he wakes up, after meals or any time he begins nosing in corners or squatting.

If he has an accident, wipe it up with a paper towel and place the towel in the litter box. Gently scratch the kitten's front paws in the filler, so he learns this is the place to deposit and bury waste.

When he is successful, praise him lavishly.
