    3. What type of kitty litter are you using? It's the same thing as the doona. If your cat doesn't like the feel of that particular type of kitty litter then he is less likely to use it all the time. Sometimes it's trial and error and you have to go through a few different types to find the litter that your cat prefers.
    Aussiegirl has reminded me... when we first got the boys, I was using crystals - which they hated. Considering they kept going on the doona / clothes / pillows etc, I opted for the recycled paper kitty litter... anything that had a similiar feel on their paws. Since we changed to the paper, we've had less accidents...

    We got a 6 week old kitten a few weeks ago and so far she has been pretty good. Just a two accidents when we got her. I actually used to breed cats and I have to say the opposite to Aussiegirl. We keep her litter tray very close to her food. Young kittens will generally need to pee/poo straight after they eat, so we found having the litter tray close to where they eat caused less accidents. As they get older, you can move it away. We also keep her confined to the laundry at night where her food/litter box is so she has no choice but to use the tray. We also did this whenever we went out. We've also found that she has more fun digging around in the clumping litter, however if you use this, make sure they dont eat it!!!

    Also, is he desexed yet? You can do this now too

    My older cat which we seemed to keep after no lost ads and several weeks prefers the crystals but we have sandier, silt type soil here. He is well trained althouh he seemed a tad feral when we first got him. I never liked cats but this one is like a dog
