Hello!

Kittens can be litter trained when they are about one month old. If the mother cat is still with the kittens, usually she does teach them how to use the litter box.

If it is up to you to teach the kitten there are a few steps:

• Give the kitten a litter box of their own in a private area.
• After your kitten has eaten move him or her into the litter box, scratching with your finger at the litter to show the kitten what to do.
• If the kitten properly uses the litter box, praise him or her. If the kitten does not use the litter, monitor the kitten's behaviour and move him or her into the litter when you notice him or her wanting to go to the bathroom elsewhere.

You will want to continue this process until the kitten gets the hang of using the litter box on their own.

Hope this is helpful!
