A week ago I got a British shorthair kitten, but try as I might I cannot get him to use the litter tray. When he's put in there he scrambles to get out and appears to hate the feel of the litter under foot. I've tried a different type of litter and still the same.
If I put newspaper on top of the litter he's quite happy to stand in the litter tray, but only once has done his business.
Apart from numerous accidents behind the sofa and the TV !!!! he's taken to like to squat over the plug hole in the bath and do both 1's and 2's.
At present we are dealing with newspaper over the plug hole and cleaning up the mess in the hope of weening him onto the litter tray in the same spot, and then elsewhere.
We got a devon rex yesterday and he's straight into the litter tray with no problems !!!
Please anyone any advise on how to get the 1st kitten to use the tray.
I have two, one with high sides and one with low sides, but it just seems to be the feel he hates.
