Kitty won't use it's kitty litter?

Question

My mother has a 10 week old kitten that often poops and pees on her bed instead of the litter. She has stuck the litter tray on top of the bed hoping that this will solve the problem. Is there a way to train a kitten to use its litter if you cannot be watching it constantly?

Answer 1

You have to keep the kitten isolated in small room with the litter box, food, water and bedding until it learns how to use the box. They have very small bladders and can't make it to the box in time. A small room helps them learn how to use the box better rather than free roaming around a home.

Hi! Sorry kitty is acting badly! I've read some of the advice given to you--and unfortunately for you-you might have to try alittle of everything cause this is usually a trial and error situation. So dont be discouraged! You will need to remove or add things alittle at a time--for example--change the litter(maybe your vet can give you a brand to use-- for the finicky)--The litter maybe scented and kitty doesnt like it. Another thing, is this a new box? Was it ever washed? Sometimes, when the box is washed with heavy duty detergent or bleach--the smell might bother the cat (even if you cant smell anything). Also,is the place you had the litter box-next to a TV, radio, phone--anything noisy?-On the maiden voyage to litter box something might of startled kitty--and now he/she may associate the litter box with fear. Again, try make one adjustment at a time--and if nothing seems to work--take kitty to the vet--it maybe a medical reason( IE. cut on paw-pad which litter might irritate)--I hope this helps alittle--Good Luck and say 'hi' to kitty for me---

Must keep the bedroom door closed and keep a litter tray close nearby room or hall, or somewhere not close to the bedroom! and use unscented cat litter and the box cleaned. keep that cat out of the bedroom, now that it has started using the bed, it will continue to. Must buy a new matress and a cover pad that costs about 80 dollars that nothing gets through, no liquids, smells, etc, just in case. The matress cover is purchased at matress world. Soometimes they do this to try to twell you they have a problem, an infection or something causing pai relating to the box, or just don't like it's litter. So use the unscented.

Some have given u good advice on here. Do not put food & water near litterbox. Also you want to get a big litter box cuz some kittys (mine) love to get inside & go crazy with the litter throwing it everywhere. Mine is older now & much better! Some people have thought that kitty is pooping next to box when they r actually pooping over the side of a small pan.

Tell your mother to start putting a newspaper in the litter box.Put the kitten in it to see if it would use the litter box then.But she have to make sure that she put the kitten in the litter box at all times until it get use to go itself.And then she can start using the
cat litter from the store.

Answer 6

If it poops on the bed (or anywhere other then the litterbox) put some of it in the litterbox and then keep the kitten isolated in a small room (bathroom maybe) for a while until it gets the idea.

Answer 7

take the bed away from the cat, and then he won't know what to do, then he should start using the litter box more. Then when it comes time, buy him a new bed that does not smell like kitty feces.

I purely examine an editorial approximately this, you could desire to take a towel, and don't rub the urine into the carpet, yet blot it. you could desire to try this till each and every final ounce of urine comes up. each and each time she pees you could desire to wipe it up an analogous way. She may be having a project along with her muddle container. Cats are from the wilderness and the floor is sandy. The cat muddle may be getting into her paws. replace the muddle, if this does not paintings, replace the place the muddle container is.. additionally I examine that oftentimes the cat is marking her territory besides. notwithstanding if she is fixed. She might actually have a project with (have confidence it or not) privateness. See if this works, If not circulate to google, and sort in peeing project for kittens, the will help>

whenever it goes up on the bed to pee, lead it to its litterbox, that's how it'll potty train.
