Things to Weigh When Fetching Home A Brand New Kitten

Felines have a natural tendency to want to potty in the gravel or dirt where cats may scratch. Also cute little kittens start to learn from their mother, so by the time your kitty is prepared to be brought to your home using a litter box will likely feel comfortable to her. She will probably require a small bit of direction though.

Felines are private about their litter box habits so be sure you put the litter box in a quiet location that the kitten can easily access. When you bring her home take her over to the litter box and place her into it. She may probably jump out yet that is ok. You want to get her comfortable with it. It’s good to put her in the litter box a few times a day until you notice she is using it regularly. If you notice her using it step back and let her have her privacy.

Cats usually start using the litter box pretty promptly, however if for some cause your kitten isn’t utilizing it do not admonish her. This may confuse her or cause stress which may lead to additional troubles. Rather than reprimand it is best to clean the mess well and begin putting her in the litter box more frequently until she starts getting the flow of it.

If she continues to mess outside of the litter box watch to see if she is either straining to potty or is suffering from diarrhea. These could be signs of a medical trouble which may be causing the litter box problems. In this event you must confer with your vet.

You will have much greater luck litter training your kitten if you maintain the litter box in a silent area where the kitten feels safe. Keep the litter box away from high traffic regions and apart from noisy appliances. It also needs to be convenient, so if you have multiple levels in your house you must maintain a litter box on each level. And keep all litter boxes away from the kitty’s eating area. Not unlike us felines do not enjoy going to the potty where they eat.

I really hope this advice helps you get started with your new furry little friend. But if anything goes amiss, you might look for additional information on what removes cat urine. It may be an repellent topic, but knowing how to handle cat spraying may be vital to you and your beloved cat’s peace.

You should have 1 litter box for each kitty plus 1 extra. I acknowledge this may be challenging in little houses or condos so at least keep one litter box per feline.
