How to make new kitten quit using the bathtub as a litter box?
November 11th, 2008 | by admin |Materhead asked:
I just adopted two kittens from the animal shelter. The boy kitten is about 8 weeks old and is litterbox trained. However, he INSISTS on using the bathtub as a litterbox. He knows where the litterbox is kept and uses it when I put him in it, but if the bathroom door is open, he uses the tub instead. He also used the mop bucket once until I turned it upside down. A friend suggested placing the litterbox in the tub and gradually moving the box into another room. Will this work though? I don’t want to give him the impression that it’s okay to use the bathtub. How should I go about fixing this problem?
We keep two litterboxes on opposite ends of the house since we have three indoor cats now. One is in the guest bedroom and the other is in my bedroom for them to use at night.
