Your kitten will start using the kitty litter box when he/she is about 5 or 6 weeks old. I know this because my cat has just recently had 3 kittens. They have just now started to walk into their mothers and slowly use it.
Hopefully your kitten will start to use the kitty-litter box! Good luck! (You'll really need it! Hint: Your kitten will probably go on the floor every once in a while. This is just natural.)

∙ 15y agoThey will start needing a litter box when they start walking or climbing onto things. The first two weeks of birth, the mother would clean the kittens mess up, but then the kittens would start becoming curious about litter. Usually you would have the litter out the entire start of the birth so the mother could use it. When the kittens see the mother using it, they want to start also. Same goes with eating.

You have to train them at a young age so that they use the litter box when older. I used to train my kittens by simply putting them in the litter box when I'd think they need to go. Most of the time, my predictions were right. Otherwise, just put them in the litterbox when they show late signs of needing to go.

Actually they would start using the litter box even before that. When the mother cat uses the litter box in front of the kitten, the kitten becomes curious and wants to try what its mother is doing. Kittens would usually climb into the litter box and smell around and then use it. No, actually you have to show the kitten where the litter box is. In some cases, if you see him or her pee, go up to her, say NO, and then pick her up and take her to the litter box and show him or her THIS is where to "go".

When she has an accident, put her and the feces into the litter box. Use a stick to "dig" in the litter, and push it over the feces. Kittens normally learn from their moms. But sometimes, humans must teach them this skill. Don't reprimand them--the cat won't understand your words or tone of voice.If kitty is using the same spot over and again, try putting the litter box there for a few days.

When will newborn kittens start using there back legs?
In all reality, kittens start walking whenever their little legs decide they are strong enough and they develop the proper coordination to get all four paws going in the right direction at the right time. This can vary some, but for most kittens, this happens between the third and fourth week. Their eyes have opened, their hearing has improved, and their basic coordination and strength has allowed them to take a few shaky practice steps. Many litter owners will watch during the second and third weeks as the kittens gear up to walk. Their initial locomotion occurs in nearly the same format as human children. Inching and crawling is usually preceded by a squirming and wiggling action. This of course allows the kittens to jockey for position during feedings and to seek out the warmth and comfort offered by their mother and their litter mates.
