It isn't necessary to keep any kittens from the litter. While vets do recommend having more than one cat, it does not need to be one of your cat's kittens. Once the kitten is weaned, it is ready to be adopted out. A cat will also never miss "motherhood" so don't feel bad about spaying your cat.

How to Litter Box Train a Kitten?
Training a kitten to use the litter box is simple if enough time and patience is applied to the task. Here are some guidelines on how to train a kitten to use the litter box successfully:Selecting the Correct Size Box and the Right Type of LitterA plastic box is the most practical choice for kittens because they are very easy to clean. Make sure the sides of the box are low enough so that the kitten can climb in with ease. Most kittens dislike scented litter. Buy unscented litter for the box. Place the box in a quiet place in the home. Make sure the box is accessible. If more than one kitten is being trained, there must be separate boxes for each kitten.Begin the TrainingIn the beginning of training, the kitten must be supervised closely by directing the kitten to use the litter box at the appropriate times. Keep the box where the kitten can see it. When the kitten stops playing and starts sniffing around the box, gently guide or place the kitten into the litter box. Lightly praise the kitten for eliminating in the box. Giving kittens a treat after they eliminate will work well. Never give a kitten medicine or scold him when he is near the box. This will keep the kitten from associating the box with anything negative. Cover all plants so that the kitten isn't confused since the soil of potted plants can be confused with the litter box. If the kitten cannot be supervised, confine the kitten to a cat-proof room with the litter box inside. Follow these basic training steps for approximately two weeks.Common MistakesFix any of the following mistakes that could result in soiling on the floor:- Litter box not cleaned frequently enough- Kitten is frightened around or near the litter box- Litter box was moved to a noisy area - Change in the kind of litter used- Scented litter or deodorizing additives to the litter box- Medical problemsNever administer punishment on kittens when they do not eliminate in the box. This will make the problem worse. Kittens are creatures of habit. Once the right box and litter is found, stick with it. If you want to change anything, place the new box and litter in a new location. Keep the old box and the old litter in the same location until the kitten is using the new box. In a few weeks, the change should be complete.
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.
