So my sister had a litter of kittens well the mom got really sick and was no longer caring for the kittens at all.
So anyways I ended up with a 6 week old kitten for my new apartment. Well its been a bit of a struggle. Just looking for advice on training such a young kitten with lack of proper litter box training from his mom
So the kitten spends the day in my bathroom where his litter box, food and water is. Yesterday was his first day. He didnt poop at all in the bathroom but soon as i let him out he ran for a corner. I was able to pick him up and put him in the litter box before he started pooping.
Well today makes day 2.. I thought lets see how it goes. He went in the litter box all day (no accidents on the floor all in the litter box) so I thought great hes getting the hang of it. Well while out and running around he ventures back into said bathroom for food and water.,.. but not to use the litter box? Why? No clue.. Well after not seeing him go for a bit i decide to put him in the box.. sure enough he uses the bathroom.. jumps out.. runs to my spare bedroom and pee's in a corner.
I cannot figure this behavior out. I put the kitten in the litter box every 30-45 mins. He jumps out and i put him back in 2-3 times then let him be. He knows where to go if hes locked in the bathroom but wont walk in there to use it himself... but will go there for food and water.
Any advice?
