How To Litter Train Your Kitten

One of the challenges of raising a kitten and being a furrent is training a kitten how to use a litter box, especially if they’ve never used one yet.

Good thing is, this kind of training is very easy for most kittens, which provides every human parent the benefit of cleaning the litter up easily as well as give cats a pre-determined quiet, sandy place to eliminate, which is both physicallya and mentally beneficial to them.

So, here are a few tips from Hill’s on how to litter train your kitten:

1. Assemble supplies – Choose a fine, unscented clumping litter. For kittens with mobility issues, go for a box with low sides and place it in a quiet, warm low traffic area.
   

2. Show your kitten – Set your kitten in the box and allow him/her to explore and sniff. Avoid interacting with distracting your kitten while they’re in it and don’t move the box somewhere else.
   

3. Be positive and patient – Be patient with your kitten . Don’t scold or punish them and just clean up the mess with an enzymatic cleaner and keep reinforcing the training.
