I am fostering a sibling group of 4 kittens. They came from a hoarding type situation and all had URIs and diarrhea and were very underweight. They have been on meds for the URIs and diarrhea and are feeling a lot better. They are pooping in the litterboxes and sometimes peeing there. But about half the time they just pee where ever they want. . .corner of the room, bed, blanket, etc. At first I thought it was just that they were sick, but they are clearly feeling better and still doing it.
3 are boys and they do it the most. . .are the old enough to already want to pee for marking? Any thoughts on how to curb this? They are going to be adopted out in another week or so once they are healthy and been neutered. . .but I don't want to adopt out kittens who don't use a litter box well. I feel this would lead to their owners returning them.
I have two litter boxes in their room, one with corn litter and one with newspaper pellets. I am going to try clay too although I usually avoid it. Would the little attract stuff be ok for kittens? I have removed the bed and blankets from the room, but sometimes, it's just on the floor. :/
