My kitten always hides under my bed and does his business under there at the same spot . He has his litter box. Where he can use it . I'm tired of haveing moveing my bed around everyday. Just to clean it up. Please help me. I just worry everytime he goes under there. I dont know if he's playing or doing his business. How can I make him understand not to do that. Thanks.

He knows how to use his litter box. I love him to death but I dont want to do this everyday.

I need all the help I can get.

Answer 1

show him or take him to his litter box often and don't move it around to much or he will get confused. he may also want privacy and since it is dark under your bed and no one See's him that's his place of choice. the area where he has already done his business now has a smell and they usually return to the same spot or close to it over and over- unless you use something to remove the smell really well. another thing you can do is place fresh orange peels, or some kind of smell that he does not like, make sure it is not a chemical because that is bad for the kitten. that's about it. or send him to sleep somewhere else.

Answer 2

for awhile isolate the cat to one specific area which contains the litter box

being a kitten, at this stage most of this is considered play with you

when you allow the kitten out and about close off your bedroom area

if you suspicion the kitten is about to do business elsewhere, grab it up and run it to the litter box

just like a puppy needs time and patience to train

in no time at all, will know exactly where to take care of what

believe it or not - some are very finicky about litter type - may need to try more than one kind

also - some cats, if the box is not cleaned regularly, refuse to use a dirty box - especially a female cat

best wishes to you and your kitty

Answer 3

Put one of those oops pads (at the pet store) under the bed and everytime he goes toss it in the litter box. Also he may want privacy to do the deed. Try an enclosed box. Cats also are attracted to the smell of the last spot. Get that urine be gone to get every last smell out. If this doesnt work he may have another problem. You might want to ask the vey.

Answer 4

Block access to the space under the bed; we built a frame out of 2x4's and put it under the bed so our kitten wouldnt hide there too. Alternately fill the space up with storage boxes so he cant get under there.

Answer 5

Squirt him with a water pistol when he goes under the bed (of course he won't like it but it will stop him going under your bed for a widdle (be cruel to be kind) The only way, as cats do not take too well to being told off Remember HE is letting You live with him regardless of who's house it is.

Answer 6

Close the door to you room. If you catch him going their, get a spray bottle with water and spray him, this should stop him.
Clean under your bed with vinegar, baking soda and water to get rid of the smell.
EVERY time you catch him say a firm NO and take him to the litter box.
The kitten will eventually learn, be consistent.
