Well my kittens ae now 4 weeks old - they have a litter tray also that they have access to.
I show them how to go in the litter at least once a day but for the past few days there is poop all over their bedding and in places other than the litter tray. Sometimes they are covered in it and mum has not cleaned it - any ideas why she is not sorting them out?
With Mimi i never found a spot of dirtiness anywhere!

Hiya Saff, have you got mum using the same litter box as the kits, if not I would certainly do that. They seem to learn from copying mum and once they smell her stuff in it they follow suit, if you get my gist or failing that put some of her soiled litter in their box

hiya yes mum is using the litter too.
also noticed early some pinky discharge in the bed obviously from mum. she hardly has any milk again so i am syringe feeding them and also she has gone off her food

sorry i wouldn't know. how old are the kittens now? why not give the vet a call see if they can set your mind at rest?!

hi
i have put another litter tray next to mums tray,mine just followed their mum and seem to copy her as she is doing it.
and merry christmas

Yes - at least I would be, especially since she isn't eating either.

Think this should prehaps be mum's final litter. Prehaps she is not up to it any more and it's making her a bit poorly. Hope she is ok.

well all seems to be ok today. kittens are clean and using the litter box (with my help and encouragement) and mum has her appetite back and seems to be fine - fingers crossed all stays well
