I have a litter box, and put them in it all the time, especially when I see them trying to "go" outside of the box, but they won't stop! They really like my kitchen, and that is sooo gross! I am so tired of scrubbing before I can cook! (by the time I get done, I usually dont feel like cooking anymore)

Kittens just like kids you have to have lots and lots of patience with them. Each time you see them squat pick them up and put them in the litter box. Take their front paws back and forth in the litter box to give them the idea that there is where they need to go to the litter box. You may even want to place the litter box temporarily in the kitchen and so that they get the idea that's where they go to the bathroom. It takes an average kitten 4-8 days to catch on. When they do start to use the litter box, you would be advised to leave a little of their urine in the box. That way they can smell it and know that's where they go from now on.
Scrub your kitchen floor with Lysol and that will eliminate them from smelling their own urine and feces. Good luck to you and may you and your kittens and cats have a life long friendship with each other!

When I first got my kittens they did the same thing. They went everywhere and anywhere they wanted. Everytime I saw them going outside of the litter box I picked them up and made them go in the litter box. They would try to jump out so I would stand there and not let them out of the box until they went. Everytime they went in the box when they were done, I would give them a treat so they know that thats what they were suppose to do. Good luck to you!

I would get an indoor pen with a sand box. Bury their droppings in the box, then continuously introduce them to the sand box. Nothing is worse than cat wip.

jusut keep putting them in there when you see them going
they will get it soon ... try to clean your kitchen area with a good product from the pet stores that will take the smell away so they cannot smell it to go back to that area,,,
have patience & good luck
