litter boxes

Hi paisley, You just kind of have to be patient with them. If you see him looking like he is fixing to go somewhere other than the litter box, grab him and stick him in there. Or even take him and put him in there every couple of hours. Kittens aren't real hard to get to use the litter box, you just have to work with them a little. Also since he's male there will come a time when you will want to have him spayed because male cats are horrible about spraying. They will spray any and everything once they get to a certain age. Hope this helps!

Your cat can't talk. He has no other way to tell you he isn't feeling well. Please take him to the vet. If the vet says he's OK, put him in a small room, like a bathroom with his litterbox so he can only go in the box. When he does go in the box, tell he how good he is, give him a treat. After he goes in the box for a few days, let him out but supervise him while he is out. If he looks like he is about to pee, put him back in the box. Don't punish him. That doesn't work with cats. Please don't get rid of him. He may be sick and need your help.

Is your cat spayed? He may be marking his territory. My cat is really, really good about using his litter box. He is a spayed male and has never given us any problems. He does get upset though if the litter box isnt clean enough. I try to keep it up to his high standards. I am thinking about getting another kitten but not if it is going to cause a problem with my current cat. He seems pretty happy with the status quo and I dont want any litter pan regression.
