I have ten cats in my house. I have three litterboxes that I scoop three times a day.



It seems to be a rather bonding experience to use the litterbox. The ones who are best buddies like to go together. Every time I scoop, somebody has to jump in it. We often form a line to use the litterbox while I am trying to scoop. (Yeah, very helpful.)



Kittens like to play in the litter. It's just cool. They (usually) do grow out of it, too. My main concern is always that they don't eat it.



A piece of carpeting under the box that they have to step on on the way out helps with the tracking problem, too.



I wouldn't worry too much about a 4.5 month old kitten being messy about it. Kids is kids.
