Kitten Box Training

[ema watson]

Hi there, I got a small kitten a week ago. He's 2 months old, and the problem is I can't train my cat to use a litter box. He pisses in there but poops always near it. I tried everything, silica gel, bentonite, pine, I tried put orange peel over the floor (I was told cats do not like the smell and will not poop where the orange peel is). I bought two litter boxes, thought probably the kitten kust does not like pooping and peeing in the same place, but no. I even put a marble piece into one of these litter boxes ( thought the kitten probably likes the surface and that's why popping on the floor). But still no. So, I'm angry and tired, I almost get used to it and just choosing one of these things from odor. This thread is just the last hope, do not want to spend $200 on air purifier. But you know, if you don't know what to advise, just tell me which one of the devices you have if you have one.

I'd put the poop in the litter and leave it there for a while every time she craps on the floor. You can try crapping in the litter yourself in front of her, maybe she'll get the message. Don't laugh, I'm serious. I had a kitten who was far too young and not weaned, had to show her how to drink water about 50 times before she got the hang of it 🙀👍🏿😻🤜🏻🤛

P.s. with my tongue in a bowl like cat. I was so scared she would get dehydrated. Now she drinks normally like any other cat from a glass on the island in the kitchen... 😹😻😺😺

Lately I've been seeing more and more cats who drink from a glass on the island in the kitchen.

Mine haven't insisted on that from me yet, but it's probably only a matter of time. We don't have a kitchen island. Maybe they'll want me to set it up in the middle of the living room floor, where I'll accidentally kick it over each time I walk by.

A lot of the times this is an issue with the cleanliness of the litter box. Always make sure to keep it clean or else your kitty will refuse to use it. In this case though, that doesn't seem to be the issue since he's peeing in there. Like everyone else said, rule out any medical issues at the vet.

Most likely it's just an adjustment period since your kitty is still very young. Instead of that expensive air purifier, I would just get another litter box. Plenty of cats refuse to pee and poo in the same box, so this could be a quick fix.

Do you have another cat? Sometimes cats will poop outside the litter box if a 2nd cat is guarding it and being territorial. If this is the case, adding another litter box would solve this problem too.


Good luck!
