My dads outside/inside cat got pregnant at the beginning of the summer and now we have 3 precious 6 week old kittens. We introduced the litter box last week and they refuse to use it. One sniffs at it for a few seconds and then jumps right out. It doesn't seem like it's too high for them to get in and out of and the litter my dad got is arm and hammer multi cat. I don't know if the scent is too strong or if they just don't like the feel of the litter. They won't even scratch at it! They've started eating kitten food so now they are not only peeing everywhere in the floor or bed but also pooping! I don't know what I should do. Their mother is great at using the litter box and they watch her but they have no interest in using the box. I put them in the box after eating, sleeping, and playing but they just jump out. Tonight I have confined them to the bathroom with 2 boxes, food on the other side of the room, and their bed. Does anyone have any suggestion on what I should do or what I'm doing wrong?
