litter trained
we just rescuded this cute cat and come to find out she was pregnant. She
just 5 kittens yesterday and we brought the whole family in the house since it's extremely hot here in Texas. Now Mom goes out to go to the bathroom eventhough we bought a new litter box and apparently she does not know how to use the litter box. Can someone tell me how to train her to go to the litter box and also what should we do to train the kittens. |

You could try sprinkling some garden soil over top of the litter in the pan.
If you can find some of her poop from outside, put one in the pan so she'll get the idea what it's for. If you get her using the pan, you won't have to worry about training the kittens. She'll take care of that for you. If she doesn't take to the box herself then wait until the kittens are around 4 weeks old, place them in the litter box and gently take their paws and scratch the litter. It doesn't take much for them to get the picture but Mom will more than likely take care of this for you.
