HOW CAN I TRAIN MY KITTEN TO USE A LITTER BOX?

Consider using Wee-Wee Cat Urine Eliminator and Odor Destroyer to eliminate new or old stains and discourage repeat accidents. If the accident is on fabric or carpet، Wee Wee Cat Carpet and Fabric Stain and Odor Destroyer is another good option. You can also use the Comfort Zone Spray & Scratch Control Spray as a spot treatment to help calm your kitten in those places she tends to pee outside of the litter box.

Try Varieties of Boxes، Litter Types، and Locations

Cats can develop an aversion to using their litter for different reasons. Some may not like the feel of a particular type of litter on their paws. A long-haired cat might need a crystal litter that doesn't stick to his paws. A kitten that spent time outdoors before coming home with you might have learned to pee and poop in the dirt، so he might gravitate to clay litter with a similar texture.3

The location can also make a huge difference. If the litter box is near an area with a lot of traffic or if it's next to a noisy washing machine، your cat might not want to use it as much.

Even the type or shape of the litter box can make a difference. Some cats don't like stepping over a box with a high side; consider cutting out an entrance so your cat can just walk into the litter box. Other kittens don't like litter boxes with covers، and some will only use boxes with covers. If the litter box is too big or too small، this can also cause problems. Even the depth of litter can make a difference. Try different types of boxes and litter to see which your kitten prefers.

Watch for Health or Stress Issues

If your cat or kitten once used the litter just fine and now is suddenly spraying or pooping in the wrong places، the problem could be health- or stress-related. Visit your veterinarian to make sure health issues aren't causing the problem. If you get a clean bill of health، look for the stress-related sources in the next section.
