Kitten Training – The Basics

In: Pets Galore

For some the sound of training a cat or training a kitten sounds pretty difficult since they are known to have a mind of their own. But if you start when they are young and be prepared with a certain level of patience kitten training doesn’t have to be such a difficult task.

One of the first things your will want to train your kitten is how to use the litter box, if she doesn’t already know. They naturally want to scratch when they go to the bathroom so you just need to help them along a little. Place them in the litter box every couple of hours until you see them start to use it on their own regularly.

Other things you will probably want to kitten train include staying out of the plants, off the curtains and off the counters. Many people have effectively used water bottles or water guns for these types of things, but be careful that the kitten doesn’t get too wet or spend time in a drafty area because they are more susceptible to upper respiratory infections. Or you may want to use a loud noise that’s not associated to you, like putting coins in a can and startling her when she digs in the plant so there is an unpleasant feeling associated with that behavior. But don’t hit or yell at your kitten, that will make her scared of you and it will make her more anxious in general.
