Kitten Care- Litter Boxes! TM

Litter Boxes *Litter box training is usually very simple. You show the kittie where the box is. The kittie goes to the bathroom in it.  *If not, try just putting bowel movements that are not in the right place inside the box. *Problems sometimes arise if the box is not kept clean. Cats like a clean litter box. They have a very strong sense of smell and will sometimes not use a box that is not kept clean. If, you would like your box to be cleaner, put enough litter in it for a day or two. Then dump and disinfect the box after a day or two. A Clorox Bathroom Disinfectant works well. It is worth it for the health of your cat and family. You will need a cat litter scoop, goggles (These are needed if you use litter with chemicals to clump the litter. The drying agents can dry your eyes also)  and a mask (The mask will help prevent you from getting parasites, viruses, and bacteria from  your kitten/cat). Everyday put on the goggles and mask, scoop out bowel movements left in the box. Put them in a plastic bag and dipose of them in an outside trash can. If, you have a flushable on natural cat litter, you can scoop the feces and flush them down the toilet. Your home will smell better to you and your kittie. It will also be healthier for both of you. *Use simple high sided open cat box. They sometimes object to strong smelling deodorizing litters.  When the box is as clean your cat will be healthier and so will you.  *If you are having a problem with a kittie that dosen't use the litter box, you need to take your cat to the vet for a check up to see if there is a urinary tract infection. *If a cat/kitten is not using the box it can mean that there is a UTI or some kind of illness. This the most common reason for a kittie to not be using the box. Take it seriously. Tell your vet and ask for a check-up. Small spot of urine around the house may indicate an ifection. Large spots of urine, like on a bed MAY be because the cat is mad/unhappy about something. If, a cat is urinating large amounts in an area of your home or on a bed, the cat may be mad at whoever's bed is being peed on. Do Not Allow the cat to go into that. *If your home has been urinated in then you need to remove those smells Nature's Miracle to get rid of those hidden smells. The enzymes in it eat up bacteria that is left behind and smells. Cat Attract is a product that can be put into your litter box to get the cat to uirnate in the right place. Felaway diffusers can help calm an angry/anxious cat
