When are they litter-box trained?
You should always start training your kitten at a young age when training them. Here are the steps 1) Show the kitten the box. 2) Leave the kitten in a room with its food and the box, visiting it and making sure it is using the box and gaining a lot of attention. 3) Once the kitten is beginning to understand using the litter box is the correct thing to do, you may remove the box and kitten out of the room and place the box in a hidden place where only you and the kitten know where it is. 4) Show the kitten the box. 5) Cover the ground in plastic, in case the kitten is unable to make it to the box. 6) Once the kitten regularly makes it to the box and is using the box, is when you know he or she is trained. ~These are the steps i took to litter-box train my own cats.

How do cats know how to use a litter box?
Cats instinctively try to bury their waste, but they need to learn where is an appropriate place to use to bury it. Once they have learned that a litter box is available and is appropriate, that is what they will use. When I was a kid back in the 1960s litter boxes and litter did not exist. We used a small wooden crate filled with black top soil. The cats learned to use this. It was nowhere near as convenient for us as modern litter is, but the cats had no more trouble digging in this top soil and burying their wastes than they do with modern litter today.
Can a gerbil have only one pup?
NO. Gerbils have 4-6 pups in each litter and can have regular litters so if you are going to breed them you have to know what you will do with the litter afterwards.
What can you use for a litterbox until you get one?
Any type of box. Whether it be a cardboard box, or even a small plastic container. As a substitute for litter, you could use shredded newspaper. If this is a kitten, take their accidents and place it into the box, that way, they know where to go.
Why is your cat not using litter box?
The litter box may not be clean enough for the cat or the cat feels uncomfortable in the litter box; a litter box should be cleaned every day or every second day, depending on how many cats you have. Maybe the cat does not know where the litter box is, if you move the litter box and don't show the cat its new location the cat won't know where the box is. The cat also mightn't be trained to use a litter box properly and might need a little help using it. Also, if a cat is very old, they mightn't realise they have to use the litter box or they do not have time to get to the litter box before they urinate etc. . The cat could also be sick.if your cat is just a kitten then the box might be too clean the kitten must smell where the toilet is.
Why your kitten will not pee in his litter box?
Since it's a kitten, you probably have to teach him how and what to do. Once he know he's supposed to do his business in there, he will remember. It's strange, though, because cats have an instinct to go in dirt-like, soil-like material, a.k.a. the litter box. He could be nervous about something which would make him go in other places.

A litter of cats means the group of kittens that a mother cat gives birth to at one time, and has no set number.

How do you train a kitten?
# Don't overload your kitten the first few days or weeks you bring them home. Introduce her one day at a time to the rooms in your house, making sure she always knows where her food, water and litter box is. This is important so your kitten doesn't become too stressed while getting to know you and her new house. # Keep your kitten separate from your other pets in the beginning. When you do introduce them, supervise them and be prepared to separate them if need be. Some experts recommend bathing pets right before you introduce them so they will smell alike. # Set up a litter box for your kitten (her own if you have other cats) with a few inches of litter in it, away from her food source. Be prepared to scoop out any material twice a day. If your kitten is less than 3 months old, you should not use a clumping litter; clumping litters can cause problems in the digestive systems of kittens less than three months old. # To teach your kitten to use the litter box, put your kitten into the box and drag her paws through the litter. Most kittens figure out what to do from here, but just to make certain, place your kitten in the litter box after eating, in the morning, before bed and after your kitten sleeps. Most kittens learn how to use the litter box quickly, but if your kitten doesn't, consider if the litter box is too close to the kitten's food or not being kept clean enough. Never, ever hit or punish a kitten who misses the litter box, but give her treats and positive words for using it correctly. # Give your kitten a scratching post and show her what do with it. You can make the scratching post more usable by rubbing catnip on it. If you catch your kitten scratching furniture or the floor, make the spot less desirable by covering it with aluminum foil, double-sided tape or putting a net or tulle over the top of it. Kittens rarely like the sound aluminum foil makes, they don't like getting their paws stuck to tape and they hate getting their claws snagged as they would on netting or tulle. # Use positive reinforcement. When you catch your kitten using the litter box or using the scratching post, be prepared with positive words, stroking and a quick treat. # Teach your kitten how to play. While it's very cute when kittens pounce on fingers and toes, kittens will continue this behavior when they're cats (and it's not so cute, but painful). Give your kitten toys she can play with such as a sock stuffed with catnip and sewed closed. If your kitten pounces on your fingers or toes, emit a high-pitched noise or tell her 'NO' firmly. Again, do not hit your kitten for inappropriate playing, but give her treats, positive words and pet her when she plays appropriately. # If you decide to discipline your cat, many experts recommended using the squirt bottle method, sparingly. Give your kitten a quick squirt with a squirt bottle filled with water when she does something you don't like such as scratching furniture or jumping onto counters or furniture. Many experts debate the efficacy of this method since cats tend to retaliate with poor behavior or continue to do the behavior anyways. If you combine this method with positive reinforcement (treats, stroking and positive words), you will likely see better results.
