Re: Advice on Training a Stray Kitten

Congrats on the new kitty! I'll do my best to help you with the few issues you are having with him.

About not letting you touch him, he is obviously not used to humans. What you have to do is build up his confidence in you by slowly approaching him, talking to him calmly doing your best not to scare him. Try temptinghim with treats and toys. Hopefully it won't be long before he'll be eating out of your hand.

Alan doesn't seem to be potty trained, and I advise you to start training him as soon as possible. Something you could try is putting a little sand into the litter tray so he can get the idea.

About the crying, it's pretty normal for puppies and kittens to cry on the first few days. Just make sure Alan has plenty of toys to keep himself occupied when you are not present, and when you have time, try playing games with him (like dragging a toy along the ground for him to chase).

Keep us updated with any progress you are making with Alan.
Good luck
Sumaya
