Bringing a new kitten home to enjoy with your family will be so much fun! Their soft fur, beautiful eyes, and sweet face will undoubtedly gain a special place in your family's hearts. You have all the wonderful toys he will need, but now you want to focus on litter training your new kitten. This may be a totally new experience for some cat owners if this is their first time owning a cat. So, where do I begin in the litter training process? Here are five great tips that will serve as a great starting point on litter training your new kitten:
Set your kitty in the litter box about a half an hour after playing with him or after he has eaten a meal. As he nears the time to relieve himself, he will already be where you need him to be and he will also begin to understand that this is where he needs to potty.
Occasionally stir the litter to arouse his interest. Cats are curious by nature, so when you arouse his interest in the litter box, he will become more comfortable with visiting the litter box.
Encourage your cat if he has begun to jump in and out of the litter box on his own. This is a sure sign that he is getting used to the litter box.
There are also other methods available to aid in successfully litter training your kitten. With a little time and commitment, you will be able to have your new kitty trained in no time
