Help with litter training
Hello again every 1,
As i told you all yesterday i have 2 new little kittens who were quite a mess when i got then. Any way i have sorted out all the grooming and cleaned them up, however they are not litter trained  at the min they are in a giant dog cage so they have enough room to move around and play (ehich they havent done yet) 1 of the little fellas has used the tray a few times and is doing well. But the long haired little man will not use it when evr i go to feed them or pick them up he has urine all over his tummy and legs.How do i get him to understand that the tray is his loo  i was hopping that he would follow his brother but this has not been the case Any advice would be more than welcome please

Re: Help with litter training
Ahhh, bless him. What you could do it, keep putting him in the tray. get his little paw and scrape over any wee/poo, this is what I do with my kittens when litter training, they soon click on with what they are meant to do. If he does a poo in the cage put that in the tray and then put him in and do the same.

Thanks i will try that and see how he goes, as of yet though he hasn't had a poo. Do you have any ideas on how to stop him weeing in his bed n all over him self? With him being long haired it makes alot of mess and having bathed him once already i donn't want to have to keep bathing him on a regular basis. Altough he wasn't as bad to bath as i thought he would be, it still wasn't his favourite thing and i donn't wana have toi stress him more than he already is poor little fella

Re: Help with litter training
Does he move around the pen? If he is very nervous, he may be to frightened to move and go for a wee, preferring to stay where he is. Cats won't poo either if they don't feel its safe where they are and new kittens very often hang on for a couple of days before they go. You could try putting a blanket over the end of the pen where the tray is, to make it more private and secure feeling for him.

I have their bed at the back so they can hide if they want but still see what is going on and get used to their suroundings. Then i have the tray at the front away from the bed thinking they would not like to sleep right next to the their toilet. I can see this beeing quite funny if any 1 is waqtching me do this, i am not a small girl. I will be trying to squeeze in to the back of the cage now and help then to go on the tray and sho wthem how to cover up with the litter and what to do. Hahaha i can just see it now big fat behind sticking out of the cage  not a nice thought. But if it will help me little fellas i will do anything
