Litter training is usually the easiest part of raising a kitten \u2014 cats instinctively want to bury their waste. Get the box, placement and routine right and most kittens learn in days. Here’s a simple, stress-free guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A litter box should be at least one and a half times the length of your cat, with low sides for a kitten to climb in easily. Too small and your cat will avoid it. For a growing kitten, start with a smaller, low-entry box and size up as they grow. Our cat litter boxes<\/a> come with a scoop and easy-clean design to make the routine simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Place your kitten in the box after meals, naps and play \u2014 the times they’re most likely to go. If they start to squat elsewhere, gently move them to the box. Never punish accidents; just clean thoroughly to remove the smell so they aren’t drawn back. Most kittens get the idea within a few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Scoop waste at least once a day and wash the box weekly \u2014 cats are famously fussy and will reject a dirty box. A clean box with fresh litter is the single biggest reason litter training sticks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At least 1.5 times your cat’s length with low sides. Start small and low for a kitten, then size up as they grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a quiet, easy-to-reach spot away from food and water. Provide one box per cat plus one extra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Place the kitten in the box after meals and naps, never punish accidents, and keep the box clean by scooping daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere to place the litter box<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
