My kittens are currently 4 weeks old, are weaned so they are eating solids (and also nurse from their mum). They have therefore just started to do big poops, and we are finding them deposited all over the room!
We have tried putting them in their mini litter tray which is next to their mums litter tray, after meal times, and when we catch them in the act but the rest of the time they seem to prefer a quiet corner of the room! Their mums litter tray is covered so they are probably not learning from their mum as they should, but she is currently suffering from GI problems, so they cannot share a litter tray at the moment, and have their own smaller uncovered version next to it.
How long should it take for kitties to become litter trained, and is there any way I can teach them to do it?
