First off, hi everyone! I brought home these little girls (still working on names) last Monday:
My sister feeds the neighborhood strays and one of them had a litter of kittens under her porch. She adopted one, and I took the other two. They're very sweet and friendly.
I'm currently keeping them in a big dog crate with their bed, food bowls and litter box and take them out for supervised playtime in my room. The Siamese-looking kitten is great about using the litter box and has only had one accident (after noticing her sister pee outside the box.) The black one, on the other hand, has chosen my carpet about 4 times. A couple questions...
1) What's the best way to discourage them from peeing in the same spot again? I did some research and I was planning on buying an enzyme cleaner, but is there anything I can do to deter them in the meantime?
2) How can I avoid future accidents? I always watch them while they play and try to be diligent about plopping them in the litter box but the black one doesn't always give much warning. Shorter play sessions? Maybe another litter box outside the crate?
Thanks in advance!
