Please can you give me some advice on litter training a 6 week old kitten.?

Her mummy is allowed outdoors and does not appear to be showing her how to use the litter as I expected her to.Please can you give me some advice on litter training a 6 week old kitten.?
You may want to try giving her a litter pan to ';play'; in/with. With the kittens I am taking care of it worked. They started to play and dig in it as soon as I presented it to them... and the rest they did on their own.Please can you give me some advice on litter training a 6 week old kitten.?
There are many ways actually


you can take some dirt in some old LARGE pan (clean)


and fill it with dirt. and place it where she usually uses it.


When she starts using it there praise her with treats/compliments after a while switch it to a litter box


with litter in it





P.S.-make sure the dirt is bug free and clean and WITHOUT


fertilizer





I hope this helps:)
actually, we JUST trained our 6 week old in the last 3 days. [we got him three days ago]





all we did was after he ate, we placed him in the litterbox. when he defecated on the rug, we transported it to the litterbox so he would get the point - POOPY GOES IN THE LITTER BOX! hahaha... He finally used the litterbox himself today, May 3. We got him May 1 and have been using the method since the 1st...








SOOO, yep. Good Luck with her.
You'll have to watch the kitten. When you see her start to go, pick her up and put her in the littler box. No way to say how many times you'll have to do it before she gets the idea.





Whatever you do, DON'T punish her or yell at her; she doesn't know she's doing anything wrong. Also, she may think you're telling her not to empty her bladder or bowels AT ALL.
wen my cats were kittens i personally trained all mine, i kept a small tray in every room that the kittens went in, i tried to keep them in 1 room. every 30minutes or so i picked up the kitten and placed on litter if it got off i just kept putting it back on till it stayed there for a few minutes, kittens are quick at learning and mine always caught on rather quickly
Keep her in a small room such as a bath room with her food and litter. After she eats put her in the litter box. and do it again before you go to bed. After she is comfortably using the box you can start letting her have the run of the house.
alison w said it fine. :)
Place the kitten in the box 1/2 hour after play or meals.


Stimulate interest in the litter by stirring it.


Let the kitten jump in and out of the litter box instead of restraining him.


Place some stool in the litter box (builds associations between litter box and bathroom needs).


Use a litter with pellets as these mask the wet feel.





If the kitten was born and raised outside, they may have a tendency to want to maintain those outside habits inside your home. You may find that they might try and use your plants as a litter box. A kitten that was born and raised, for the first several weeks, inside by its mother will have the advantage of its mother's help in the litter training process, and other domestications. Kittens, generally, can begin to use a litter box at about four weeks of age, and a kitten being raised without its mother or adult cat will take slightly longer to litter train; so, keep this in mind when you begin the task of litter training your kitten.





Cats are naturally a remarkably clean and fastidious animal and will usually learn quite quickly how to use a litter tray. Some kittens can be put in the litter tray and they instinctively go back there but others simply refuse to use the litter tray and will always find a nice corner of the room. The other problem here is that once one of the kittens starts using a corner of the room, the other may think that they should be using it too.





You really need to spend a fair amount of time with the kittens continually picking them up after eating or drinking and putting them in the litter tray. You can also buy a spray that attracts them to the litter tray. Cat urine does not do the carpets any good and if you allow the cat to continually use the corner of a room, you will soon find that the carpet discolors and you can never really get rid of that awful smell.





You could use a ';pet behave spray'; which is basically a spray that can be applied to any soft furnishing - carpets, stairs, settees etc and will deter the cat from going near as they hate the smell. You will also need to clean the litter tray daily if you have more than one cat. The only solution is perseverance and a willingness to clean up a lot of cat waste before they finally learn where they are supposed to go! You should never scold a young cat for fouling in the wrong place and certainly never rub its nose in it.
