Hey everyone!
I know this may have been covered, but, here goes:

My 6 week old kittens ( as of tomorrow ) aren't using the litter.
They do their business everywhere. I have shown them the box, they see mom using it, but they haven't.
Any suggestions? I am getting sick of having to scout for kitten poo, and puddles, whenever I enter a room, as well as mopping every single day!

Luckily my house is all ceramic tiled, or I would go crazy!

Hints? Advice? ANYTHING....


Sincerely,
At the end of her nerve

can you confine the lil 4 footed monsters to one room with mom and a few baby litter boxes? try putting the poo in the litterbox ( their poo). it might help, just till they get the hang of it,lol.

another thing you could try if you havent already (this is what i did) put them in the litter box and scrape their feet around in it a little.

so they are using it alright now? Definately confine them. Kittens that small should not have free run of your whole house anyways. Too many dangers to get into.
