Litter Training Your Kitten – Tips for Success
Kittens often pick up litter box habits quickly, especially if they’ve already started using one before adoption. But every kitten is different, and a few simple tricks can help make the process smooth and stress-free.
Top tips for litter training
Choose the right tray
Start with a low-sided tray that’s easy for small kittens to access. Hooded trays can come later, once they’re confident.Keep it clean
Scoop daily and change litter regularly. Cats are naturally clean and may avoid dirty trays.Right place, right time
Place the litter tray somewhere quiet but easily accessible, not too close to food and water bowls.Encourage after meals and naps
Gently place your kitten in the tray after eating or sleeping, these are common times they’ll need to go.Praise and patience
Use gentle praise when they get it right. Never scold for accidents, just clean up with an enzymatic cleaner and try again.
If accidents are frequent, let us know, there may be a medical or stress-related cause we can help with.
