I put a litter box with kitten safe litter in it in the bathtub with them.....She will not use it and pooped in the sink today....help what do I do????
Is there another location you put the litterbox?? What I did was have mom's litterbox in the room with her and the kittens the whole time....where has her litterbox been previously?? What type of litter did you use?? Even though I had my mom's litterbox in the room...it was on the other side of the room..so she didn't feel it was too close to them.Originally Posted by Missy'smomma

Are you sure it's the mom who is pooping in the sink?? I ask because I did in fact have a couple of fosters who pooped in my bathtub but mom was a fatidious litterbox user. If you find that they aren't using the litterbox...you may want to confine them to a crate....that is what I did with the two that used the bathtub and it worked. Within a few days...they were using the litterbox regularly.Originally Posted by Missy'smomma

Sounds like a great start. If mom is still nursing these kittens..there really isn't a need to suppliment their diet with KMR unless you feel they need extra nutrition.Originally Posted by mowsluver
Should I be giving them kitten milk too? I leave water in there at all times as well as dry food. The mom is fed all her food there.
