New kittens

Andyuk Jan 25, 2007 02:56 PM

Hi there i have two new kittens one male one female they are around 10 weeks old the female kitten keeps doing a little wee wee behind the TV and did a poo there yesterday they are both very lively and active we have them booked into the vets on sat for there injections and worming. The male kitten just wants to play all the time lol we have a litter tray in the back of the house which is warm and quite the point of the question is that do we need two litter trays as when the female try's to do anything in the tray the male keeps running up and fighting with her so we stop him as much as we can but we are not here all of the time. We do take them to the tray on there own in the mornings and after they have eaten generally every so often! The size of the litter tray is 18 inches long by 12 inches wide!
Cheers
Andy

Hi,

I recommend that these kittens be confined to one room with 2 litterboxes until they are using them all the time. Having the run of the house can be overwhelming to young kittens and when they have to urinate or defecate they may not be able to get to a litterbox in time.

Ideally, you should have one litterbox per cat, plus one extra, so you should have 3 boxes. It's best to not keep all the boxes in the same area. My cat's litterboxes are spread throughout the house.

Regards,
PHKitkat
