Kittens should really stay in until they are 6mths old and neutered. If you let her out before this, you run the risk of her running away, getting pregnant (which could also result in her catching the feline aids or leukemia viruses) or getting picked up by someone thinking she is a stray. If you keep her litter tray by the back door, then after she's been going out for a bit gradually move it outside then towards the back of the garden. Don't do it to suddenly though or she may get confused and not realise where it is.

Yes, move the tray nearer the door each day, and when it's near the door move nearer to the place in the garden where you've previously raked the earth for her to make it more appealing. Eventually, replace the cat litter with soil, eventually it will get the idea, but be careful, a kitten is no match for an urban fox!

Buy or build a little pen for her to play and run in.Then stick a litter box in it and shell use it! But i would wait a while first. Because kittens can easily get hurt or get scared and run away. And oppossums,dogs,racoons,other cats, and people can hurt it or even kill it. Or if it is very cute ( in my opinion all kittens are cute but anyways) some one could steal it. I noticed that you mentioned you have a garden! Be careful some plants are poisinous for cats. And you know how curious they are!

It would be safer to keep her inside all the time and let her use a litter box....if you keep it clean it won't be stinky. Indoor cats live an average of 12-15 years while outdoor cats live only 3-4 years. :( If you want to take her outside to go potty, get a harness and leash and keep her on that. I was able to leash train one of my cats by starting at a fairly young age.

If you ask her to go outside and go potty then I have to admit there is no restraining her natural curiosity or the great wide open. Also if you have not had her fixed, then your just asking for kittens galore. Not to mention Cat fights, which are inevitable with her being outdoors, they are expensive to treat. Also you must be vigilant about heart worm medication due to mosquitoes.
Really I have to admit, your choices are to keep her indoors, then u will never lose her, if you really love her!

you didn't say how old?but if a 6/8 week kitten ,don't do it outside of coarse it will wander off,you always start with the litter box in house,then when its trained,knows you,and old enough to go outside it will do it there anyway.

You can buy a cat harness from the pet shop, keep her on the lead at first til she gets to know her way around. That will take about 4 weeks.

why would you want to be so irresponsible? Train your cat to go to the toilet on your own property and be responsible for cleaning it up otherwise you will only be adding to the band of cat hating people who are fed up with people letting their cats crap in their gardens.

After each meal place the kitten where you want her to do her toilet.
