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.)
