Lollie Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Hi Our adopted kitten from the refuge has now been with us for two weeks. She is approx 9 weeks old, and very playful, eating well etc. She is even cleaning herself now after a very smelly week!! However, although she will go the the litter tray to poo, she does not go there to wee. In fact she will chose to wee on anything left of the floor, ie school bags, shopping bags, clothes etc, if not avalable then just on th floor. How do we train her to wee in the litter tray also.

londoneye Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Same way as you train her to poo in the litter tray. Learn what she does before she wants a wee (if you have time to watch her), and once she gives you the secret signal that a wee is imminent, pick her up and plonk her in the litter tray. When she gets out, plonk her back in ! If you can't catch her in time, plonk her in straight after a wee anyway, just for good measure.It could be that she has developed an aversion to peeing where she poos, so might be worth trying two litter trays, one to wee one for poo. Assuming she is going to be an outdoor cat at some point, having two smelly trays around for a couple of months, is a fairly small price to pay. Rather that than have to suspiciously sniff everything you pick up from floor and wonder 'hmmmm will I get to the shop and suddenly find everyone is reeling away from me because I have dried cats pee on my jumper'!!

Gyn_Paul Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 One thing I can't recommend is the plastic liners for cat litter trays: we started our two off using a litter tray with a plastic liner (for the uninitiated they are a sort of oblong plastic bag which you put the litter tray into, then add the cat litter on top of the plastic bag) and now Tom, (not the brightest four-legs I've ever seen, but one of the most endearing) - having learnt to associate the tray and the attendant crinkle of the plastic bag with having a wee - thinks any plastic bag, carrier, shopping bag, bit of plastic film packaging, etc. is the proper place to go.As the previous poster said, it certainly makes you not leave bags on the floor.Don't go there!p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
