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.

My mom is trying to toilet train a 3 month old kitten with a training seat for cats (without litter tho) but he’s just not picking it up and pooing all over the house. He used it with litter on the ground but now it’s empty on the toilet. Any suggest
If he was using with the litter tray then i would revert completely back to this step for 3-4months to ensure he relearns and does not get the habit of using the entire house. Some cats never adapt to the seat and he is unlikely to take the leap at the current stage, by not providing him a comfortable alternative his house training may suffer in the long term

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

I'll be moving soon, with my 13 y/o male cat. He has been indoor/outdoor for most of his adult life, with access to a cat door. I'm concerned because he will need to transition to being an indoor cat in our new home--litter box training, the works. (
Start now with closing the cat door at night and keeping Kitter in with a litter box available. After a few days or a week keep him inside only. That way he will adjust before the stress of moving. Most cats naturally use the litter box but you may want to confine him to a smaller area with the box at night when he's in. Use plain litter without fragrance and clean it daily and fully empty it and scrub it with mild dish washing soap weekly. Cats are fussy and if the box is dirty they can start going out of the box. Also pick up bath mats and laundry so he doesn't start urinating on those. He should be fine, most cats adjust well. Make sure you play with him a lot and he may enjoy a cat tree since he is probably used to more exercise when he's outside. Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help you care for Kitter.

What kind of kitty litter should I use that won't be harmful to my litter of kittens to get them potty trained? Would something this be okay? Or should I try to find something else?
This litter type can be perfectly fine for your kittens as long as they don't consume any of it. Another option is to start by simply using shredded newspaper or a newspaper-blend litter, such as Yesterday's News. More traditional clumping litters are also okay to use.
