The Litter Box
To avoid litter box issues, make sure your kitten knows where his/her litter box is located. Make sure it is size appropriate. You could go larger to be on the safe side. If it's too small, they may end up accidentally stepping on poop. Then you'll have dirty paws to wash. You'll need a couple of litter boxes per cat. If your home is rather large, you'll want litter boxes in various locations. My cats and kittens use litter boxes without hoods. I also don't use plastic liners, because some cat/kittens are scared of the sound of plastic. Our kittens use Fresh Step NON-clumping clay litter. Please don't use clumping litter for your kitten, because they are like toddlers...putting things in their mouths they shouldn't. Clumping litter is dangerous when ingested. You'll want to clean your litter boxes twice a day. Cats love to use a clean litter box.
