Spending some time to train your new kitten will be much easier than trying to undo bad habits in an older cat. But you may be wondering what the best way to train your kitten is.

 

  1. Don't overload your kitten the first few days or weeks you bring them home. Introduce her one day at a time to the rooms in your house, making sure she always knows where her food, water and litter box is. This is important so your kitten doesn't become too stressed while getting to know you and her new house.
  2. Keep your kitten separate from your other pets in the beginning. When you do introduce them, supervise them and be prepared to separate them if need be. Some experts recommend bathing pets right before you introduce them so they will smell alike.
  3. Set up a litter box for your kitten (her own if you have other cats) with a few inches of litter in it, away from her food source. Be prepared to scoop out any material twice a day. If your kitten is less than 3 months old, you should not use a clumping litter; clumping litters can cause problems in the digestive systems of kittens less than three months old.

    To teach your kitten to use the litter box, put your kitten into the box and drag her paw through the litter. Most kittens figure out what to do from here, but just to make certain, place your kitten in the litter box after eating, in the morning, before bed and after your kitten sleeps. Most kittens learn how to use the litter box quickly, but if your kitten doesn't, consider if the litter box is too close to the kitten's food or not being kept clean enough. Never, ever hit or punish a kitten who misses the litter box, but give her treats and positive words for using it correctly.
