Hello all!
I have a 7 week old kitten(she was six weeks when I got her). Anyway she is not quite litter trained all the way. I have two older cats ages 2 and 4 and they love her. They all play nicely together. However Marley(the kitten) only goes in the big cats litter box(a cave-like one) if I put her in there. When I see her sniffing around I put her in the litter box and she goes.
I recently started locking her in the bathroom with the other two cats to get her more use to the litter. She does not cry when in there with them. When she is alone she screams so loud and I am worried my neighbors will complain. So yeah this morning when I looked she FINALLY started using her own little litter box. When I let her out on a little roaming time, I found a some poop piles. I have already taken her to the vet and they said she had no worms yet and is healthy. Well now her poop is runny like yogurt, and her little bum looks red. I am going to try to make an appt for some drontal tomorrow just in case.
So what else should I be doing to get her more potty trained? I know 7 weeks they should be fully trained by now right? She is eating and drinking well, and is a playful cute kitten. She also just started to try to bury her poop she goes. But sometimes she does not bury at all. All thats wrong is the pooping and being out of the little box. What else can I do? I am worried she will never be trained.
