Once your kitten has used their litter box, pet them and praise them in a happy, soft voice. Most kittens will use their little paws to cover their mess with litter. If you see your kitten or cat having an accident outside of their litter box, get his or her attention by saying their name or clapping your hands together. Then gently pick them up and take them to their litter box right away. That way they will know where to go next time.
Cats are very neat.
They won't use their litter box if it's not kept clean. Remove the kitty's mess every day with a litter shovel. Change the litter and wash the tray once a week. Always wash your hands. If your kitten or cat isn't using the litter box, call your veterinarian right away.
