I am in serious need of your help with my 5 kittens who can do everything EXCEPT for pee in the right place !
The kittens are 10 weeks old as of yesterday and still clueless about the litter box. Sometimes they pee in it, sometimes right beside it (lots of time, right beside it). They don't seem to get it ! I have litter boxes all over the house - about 10 in different corners - sometimes 2 side by side because they decided to pee 6 inches beside the first box. They now pee 6" beside the second box.
I have scattered "pee pads" in their most likely accident spots to sop up some of the mess but they're just as likely to pee on the pads than in the box.
Most of the time, they will poo in the box, but sometimes not.
I am at wits end ! My house is saturated in kitten pee ! Good thing these little guys are cute cause I'd be way more upset otherwise !
Here's a summary of their day: in the morning, I let them upstairs and they pretty much stay with us all day. If we're not there, they will stay upstairs. There is 1 litter box upstairs. At night, they are put back downstairs to sleep, they have the run of the basement (finished). There are 7 litters down there with pee pads all around them boxes. Today, 2 pads in different corners were completely saturated and there is pee in the litter boxes so it's not always. I clean the litters daily and mop up any mistakes with Hertel followed by "Out! cat urine cleaner" from Walmart then put another pee pad down. There are 5 kittens and I'd say 5 "accidents" per day.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. These guys sure are slow learners !
