I just got a kitten 2 days ago and he is about 6 weeks old. When getting here he didnt go potty for about 36 Hours. This morning waking up he went p on my bed which was a very strong smell. Then half hour ago he pooped and cryed while doing it on the floor. How do i get this baby litter trained and should i be worried that something is wrong?

Welcome to TCS


He is very young to be away from his mother, usually they learn by observing what mama does. At first, you will want to put the litter box out where he can find it quickly. 

Get a very shallow 1" or so box or tray, put a layer of litter in it -do not use clumping litter- and when you see his start looking for a place to potty, put him in there.  You will want to leave a little of his waste in the box or use Kitten Attract litter. After a fairly short while, he will get the idea that the place to potty is in the box.

Once he gets older and is used to using the box consistently, you may want to move it slowly to a better spot. This article is good to show how to do that.  www.thecatsite.com/a/litter-box-location-secrets

Here are some more that will be helpful. www.thecatsite.com/atype/45/Cat_Care

As you can see, there is a whole library of articles on just about everything to do with cats.

I hope this helps you.
