Answer 2

First, you want to start by showing the kitten the litter box. Then if it starts to use the bathroom on the carpet try to be quick as you can and take the kitten to the litter box. If your kitten uses the litter box by her or his self you want to praise him or her and give them a treat.

Answer 3

In general, you don't. THEY train you. I usually place a litter box in a convenient place (convenient for both of us), I show it the food, I try to limit its access to certain places (cupboards, kitchen tables, wardrobes a.s.o.), I make its beds (several, because one night it might feel like sleeping on an armchair, not where you want it to sleep). Keep in mind that it will take it several weeks to adapt to a completely new environment; it will have to study it, to mar it at his/hers, to make it cat-friendly, while tring at the same time to preserve its habits from its street-life years. Be patient, you might find it rewarding, but don't expect the gratitude you would get from a dog!

Answer 4

Most cats do not need to be trained to use a litter box. They don't like pooping/peeing all over the house, and prefer to have a litter box to use. When I brought my two cats home from the shelter, one was an adult and needed absolutely no training. The other was a 2 week-old kitten that had been living on the streets of New York City. She was not trained to use a litter box, so the first time she pooped, she pooped on my kitchen mop. All I had to do was give her a gentle slap on the bottom and say, "NO!" Then I brought her upstairs and put her in the litter box. She kind of looked around at it, and that was it. She never went outside the litter box again.

Try that first. If that doesn't work, I have included some links that may help you. One of them says not to do what I did (gentle slap, "NO!" and then putting her in the box), but obviously it worked for me. I think the trick is not to scare the cat, or make it think you are punishing it. Just be gentle, but firm.

Answer 5

just put the kittens on the litter box, they will catch on immediately, cats are predisposed to use a litter box and groom themselves.They will not catch on you should put a tray with cat liter or newspaper and make sure the do not eat it.
