Litter training your kitty

Despite popular belief litter training a kitten is not as difficult as you might have heard. It is better than the alternative of using your humble dwelling as their personal litter tray. That is precisely why it is so important to start young, preferably around 4-6 weeks old.
There are some things to keep in mind that start up with:
Selection Box: Remember your cat is still very low. When I say little I mean still small. Therefore you find a litter box very low or even one with the cut side down during the regular giving easy access to them. They become discouraged as a small child would result if it is not easy for them.
Election of litter: This area can be a difficult task. Depending on whether you ask, will all have another suggestion for you. But litter is not for you, for your new family member. Since the kitten is a beginner and have no idea what to expect at the moment, doing a litter for easy mobility. Like sand, even gravel or small chips inquire about a litter made especially for kittens. One important thing to remember here is dust. Some have placed a very high content of dust, which can be dangerous for a kitten. Try to stay with brand dust to eliminate this concern at all.
Do not move the box: When you bring your supplies and decide where to put in place, leave them there. You want to train your cat to go to the same place over time. So do not confuse them by moving their toilets.
Show them how: You may need to perform this step several times before getting the hang of it. Actually picking up the kitten and take her to bed and his place in this world.
Use the tab and not scratching motion in the litter to show him how to do it. If it does not use it the first time, not panic. Try again in 50 to 10 minutes or immediately after the kitten eats. Litter Education is a taught behavior, it is not something that the kittens are born already know. You must therefore exercise patience and control in the event of an accident.
Is the deal available for every kitten using litter for the first couple of days. Be sure to praise her every time you see it in the litter or she is not with this time is not the concern. The fact that it is acclaimed for its use is a major step. Good luck and remember, patience is key.
