I just a got a kitten yesterday she is five weeks old and she refuses to use the litter box. The first litter we brought she didn’t like it she would jump out immediately and won’t even smell it. So we brought her a new litter which is like pebbles,
Hi there. Most cats prefer an unscented clumping litter with a fine, sand-like texture - so I would recommend offering something like this. The litter box should be large with low sides, so it's easy for her to get in. If you try this and she still has no interest in using the litter box, then you may need to observe what type of surface she prefers to potty on and use something similar to this in her litter box.

My kittens keep on pooping everywhere in the house.. I dont have money to buy them a litter box how should i train them where to poop exactly??and i dont know ifmy parents would let me chack them into a vet..
If you don't have money to purchase several litter boxes, you can use things like lasagna pans or even like small, shallow cardboard boxes that cans of cat food come in. Either of these are suitable containers for holding cat litter. The best way to train cats to use the litter box is to confine them to smaller areas with litter boxes until they are using them with regularity. Once they are, consider expanding the area of freedom slowly day by day until you are confident in their ability to go to the bathroom in the appropriate location.

I just adopted mittens from my local shelter on June 8. When I brought him home he was very scared. Now he has settled in our home. I found out that mittens doesn’t like scented litter and was refusing to use the litter box. So I bought him arm and h
I love that you have already switched to the unscented litter as that can be a big problem for many cats. Putting the litter box in the shower is a great idea. I would also make sure to clean up the spots he went outside the litterbox using an enzymatic pet stain cleaner to ensure he does not keep smelling urine/feces there and think that it is akin to a litterbox. Other things, like cleaning the litter box often, having multiple litterboxes which are different types of boxes, and trying different types of litter (such as fine-grain litter) may also help you figure out what type of litter Mittens likes. While it certainly sounds like Mittens is having trouble getting used to his new litterbox, it is important to remember that internal diseases (like organ, hormonal, or orthopedic diseases, among other possible causes) can cause Mittens to have a hard time making it into the litterbox so it is important to take Mittens to your vet for evaluation to make sure we are not missing something

Adopted 3mo kitten use to paper pellet litter. Always uses litter box. I'm trying to find non dusty, I live in single wide trailer, clumping and unscented. What do you suggest I try?
You could try a corn or wheat based litter like World's Best Cat Litter or Swheat Scoop, or a wood litter like Okocat if you want to avoid clay litter. You could also try a clay based low dust litter like Dr. Elsey's. Even though she is used to pellets the transition to a clay litter could be fine - I'd start by putting out a litter box with the new litter while still keeping the old one and if she starts using the new one take the old one away.

Scruff is a previously feral 3month old kitten. She's been with us for about a month. She still isn't using the litter box. We are limited on funds and space. She is peeing on the lid the box is on, and pooping on the rug. I have tried putting poop a
Litter box issues can certainly be frustrating, so I hope I can give you some ideas. It sounds like you have been doing everything correctly so far. You mentioned that Scruff is urinating on the lid of the box. Cats normally do not like a covered litter box, so if it is a covered box I would definitely remove the lid of the box as my first recommendation. If she is urinating on a plastic lid that the box is sitting on top of, I would consider a more shallow box that is not completely covered in litter. Place litter in 1/2 of the box and leave the other 1/2 empty. It sounds weird, but some cats like to urinate on a harder surface. That may get her to start urinating in the box and slowly get her used to the litter. Next, the "correct" number of boxes is the number of cats plus one, so make sure you have 2 litter boxes. It is not normal for a cat to urinate and defecate in the same location, so that is the reason for the 2 litter boxes. If you have not tried it yet, I would rec
