Well, yesterday morning Squishy climbed up the playpen wall and was about to jump out when I caught him and put him on the bed with my husband and I. We played with him for a bit, and all of the sudden I saw him shaking his paw. I look by my head and see a pool of kitten pee. Ewww...(It didn't get on me, thank God lol). So I figure at that time that it is time for them to start using litterbox.
We picked up some more litter (World's Best) and put it in a small box, and put it in the playpen with them. I took each of them individually and scratched their little paws in the litter. Then, when Mushy went in her litterbox, I put some of her clumped up pee in their litterbox. Later that night...

I was sitting in bed working on a paper for school, and I look over and see our no name grey girl just sitting in the box. Then I hear/see her digging... I look over and there was a little clump of pee litter. I can't tell you how excited I was. It' like looking at the potty and seeing poop when your kids first go... you get excited over a terd and though it seems silly to other people, it's the most wonderful thing in the world to us! Hahaha
I cleaned the box out this morning and there were a bunch of clumps, so I'm thinking that they are all getting the hang of it!!
Awesome.

Isn't it amazing how such seemingly small events can be so profound? Congratulations, I know this is no small event for you!

heh, I try and put them in there everytime I'm in the room with them. I was just surprised that they picked up on it so easily... They will actually be 6 weeks this coming wednesday, so they are at about 5 1/2 weeks now.
