So don’t waste any time ‘thinking about it’ the bowel and toilet movements of your lovely new kitten are regular and they start at once! If mistakes are allowed to happen around your home during the early stages after its arrival, if not rectified quickly, could cause you some long-term issues, so learn how to litter train the kitten kindly, but continuously, and don’t give up easily.
Learning how to litter train a kitten does need your initial patience, but if you get it right it will have obvious rewards for you and your special new friend, for many years to come.
Think first of all about the size of your little pet, it’s tiny! A large space may be daunting, so consider a small quiet room, where the kitten is not too often disturbed, where you will be happy for your kitten to go to the toilet! A small box with quite low sides would be ideal, although it needs to be sufficiently deep enough to hold the kitten’s toilet litter and ideally needs to be cleanable. Your kitten will bury its toilet movements into the litter very quickly, once it gets the idea, so a tray about the size of a shoe box would be a great start.

Pour the cat litter into the box and place the box in your ideally suitable place. It may be prudent to spend some time with the kitten during the training days, as it will return over and over again to the place where it went to the toilet last time! So make sure that your new rules of how to litter train a kitten are safely passed on to your kitten … So he definitely knows where you want that to be!
If you find that the kitten goes to the toilet in an unsuitable different place, pick up the waste with quickly with a tissue and place this, along with the dirty tissue, immediately into the kitten’s litter tray, ensuring that it knows that this is where it should be … And what it smells like! Take the kitten’s paw and gently scratch the litter with it, giving the kitten experience of knowing what to do. Continue repeating this if mistakes are made. Alternatively move the tray!
A kitten is likely to use the litter tray, or go to the toilet, around 30 minutes after eating its food, so watch carefully and encourage the kitten into the right area … Keep doing this for a few days and it will soon get the hang of it.
Mistakes can be made if the kitten cannot find its way back to the litter tray in time! My tip would be to try and confine the kitten to a small space around the litter tray for a few days, allowing him more space as he gets older and bigger.
After a couple of weeks, or within a short period of time, you will have learned how to litter train a kitten and can look forward to happy days with your new fluffy new friend.
