kittens playing in litterbox -- help!
We have our first kittens, a brother and sister about 11 weeks old.
They came to us litterbox trained and have been good about that, but they love to play in the litterbox. We want to train them out of playing together in the litterbox, but don't want to train them out of using the litterbox as a litterbox! Note that the litterbox is one of those "cave" types with a hood. Is that the problem?? Is it perhaps that they just want an enclosed space to play in? (Taking the hood off now to see if that helps!) Any suggestions? |

Any suggestions? Taking the hood off is a good idea. It makes the place less of a play pen. They should grow out of this. Pray that they don't start with the problem someone else was describing, turd floor hockey. ;-) -- "Its the bugs that keep it running." -Joe Canuck |
