Litter training your kitten

Kittens generally learn how to use a litter tray quickly, normally by copying their mothers, and will often know how to use a litter tray by the time you bring them home. Read practising vet Richard Allport's top tips for making the process simple and effective.

A quiet, safe place

Cats like their privacy. They like to go to the toilet on their own, away from others. Keep the litter tray in a quiet, safe place where it can be easily accessed. If you have more than one cat in the house, each cat should each have a separate litter tray, kept well apart from each other.

Keep it clean

Kittens are naturally clean animals and they like a clean litter tray. If the tray is not kept clean then your kitten may choose to go to the toilet elsewhere. Make sure the tray is cleaned at least once a day and use an absorbent cat litter.


Get to know your kitten

If you see that your kitten needs the toilet, place them in the litter tray. Repeat this until they can find the tray themselves. You can help by placing your kitten into the tray in the morning, last thing at night and after every meal - they will soon make the link between going to the toilet and using the tray.

Reward good behaviour

When your kitten uses the tray be sure to give plenty of praise and small treats! Don't punish them if they have an accident in the house as this will confuse them.

Accidents happen!
