Answer 1

It's pretty easy to litter train your kitten. If your parents have trouble with the smell, you need to be diligent about getting scooping litter and scooping every single day. Change the litter at least once per week, even if you've scooped daily. Also, you can spray the litter with Lysol, or Febreeze or the like, after you scoop. I also sprinkle some pet odor carpet deodorizer like Arm and Hammer in the litter. Cats actually like to have very clean litter. They will let you know if it isn't clean enough by going in places you would rather they didn't.

Answer 2

Generally cats get the picture pretty quickly. Lock them in the room that the litter box is in for the first few days, and he should go in the box. If he doesn't, place whatever he did into the box and show him, and he will go. When he gets older, if he is an indoor/outdoor cat he will probably go to the bathroom outside more often than not, but it's usually not a good idea to try to train your kitten to go outside. Also, if he goes outside make sure he's fixed, cos male cats have a tendency to roam if intact. For the smell, use arm and hammer cat litter deodorizer every time you scoop. Fresh Step litter with crystals or Tidy Cat multiple cat works great, and make sure you get the scooping kind. You will rarely smell the box with these brands. Also, scoop every day. Cats will play with anything that they can bat around. Pom poms, rabbit fur cat toys, or feathered balls are usually a hit, as well as things that rock or keep moving when hit. Zanies makes a mouse that rocks back and forth that they will play for hours with. Rolled up aluminum foil is great, or for more interaction, get one of those wands with a boa or feathers on the end and taunt him with it.

Answer 3

well, I am personally not too fond of letting them outside. I have 3 ages from 4 to 4 months. All of them I taught to go potty in their designated areas (box). I first bought a large cage equivilant to extra large dog etc pitbull size. It was about 50 dollars but well worth it. I then bought a food/water dish, litter box and a small bed.

The littlest one Nala is the last one I trained.She learned by me putting her in her litter after she would eat/drink. Eventually when she understood what to do, I let her out to be with the other 2 cats. It also give them the opportunity to smell each other first so that they would get used to it. I think it was only for one week. then she did excellent....

I bought some toys then hang off of door knobs, also they love the laser light ( just be careful of their eyes), little mice,cat fishing poles and rubber balls from those quarter machines.

One thing that they love and it's a cat tree. It connects to the ceiling and they use that so much-it's their favorate!!!! All in all, anything that jingles or makes noises

Change their litter twice a week, it avoids smell and also avoids them from going somewhere else. How you considered a cat door fo rthe gagarge-it's safer than outside, the order is be confined but watch for when cars have to come inside.......

Answer 4

DO NOT take him outside... cats live longer healthier lives if kept inside only and some cities have by-laws stating this - anyhow untill he is FULLY vaccinated, dewormed, AND neutered he shouldnt be outside AT ALL!!!
cats and kittens dont need any special training they use their litter naturally

if smell is a problem its either because he is on cheap food with lots of filler (corn, by-products etc) that cats cannot digest easily OR his litter is poor quality OR both...
use silicone litter for ZERO odor or use non-scented clumping becuase its the litter most cats prefer

get him a good food - any foods from grocery or wal mart are cheap/crappy foods - too much filler plus the cat has to eat more food so makes more poops..

if you live him and are a good home you wouldnt let him out and wouldnt have got a kitten without properly getting the home ready first...

Answer 5

Cats are really easy to train with the litter box. There is a smell in the litter that attracks them. It comes pretty naturally. Not like a dog that takes a while to potty train. You can train a cat almost instantly.

I dont know much about taking the cat outside though. The outdoors is not really a safe place for kittens. To many bigger animals that will hurt them.

Answer 6

It is not realistic to think you can get the kitten outside every time he needs to potty. Little jj needs a litterbox inside where he should live until at minimum next spring. What would he go when you were at school, or asleep at night? It just wouldn't work.

He should not have the run of the house either when you are away and there is no one to watch him. He is neurologically immature like a baby and cannot control his bladder and bowels long enough to go in search of his box.

Good luck with little jj. I'll bet he is a doll. It will just be a month or so till you get his routines down and your parents must be a little forbearing in their attitude toward him.

Answer 7

You can train a cat to go potty but its a lot work.
Usually you just need to show them where the litter box is and they take to it.
Cats love those kitty fishing poles. My cats love to chase around some of those balls with the bell in them.

Answer 8

kittens are so easy to potty train put them in the litter box and they do there stuff not so sure about the outside plan tell your parents you'll keep the liter box cleaned daily

Answer 9

I put the kitty in the box. gently take his front paw and show him how to scratch the litter. he'll get it pretty quickly. I made my first kitty's toys. bought some bulk catnip, tied it in an old sock. Give him a loose ball of tinfoil. roll it into a large paper bag.

Answer 10

My advice to you is.....don't get a cat. in case you do no longer want a muddle field, by way of scent, paintings or in spite of and you haven't any longer have been given any funds to neuter him to maintain him from marking his territory, then you definately do no longer incredibly desire a cat. besides, how are you able to coach him to pass outdoors in case you go with him to be an indoor cat? in case you do in fact incredibly desire a cat you're able to realize that cats stay an prolonged time (my dad's grew to become into purely approximately 20 while she died) and that they fee funds. If he's going outdoors then he desires to have his photographs or he would desire to get ill and die. He additionally could be neutered so he would not stray, spray or get into fights with different cats. to no longer point out including to the already overflowing cat inhabitants. in the journey that your a to blame person, potty coaching is the least of your concerns.
