Litter-training your kitten

Usually, a kitten will he litter-trained when ready for rehoming. However, once in his new home you will need to show him where his new toilet facilities are. Try to use the same type of tray and litter as he had in his previous home, so that the change will not be too radical — cats are creatures of habit. If for some reason you need to move the litter tray, ensure you re-introduce your kitten to its new location. Mosts kittens and cats will cope with a change of litter brand - but will need time to adjust if you change from a natural product to a silica product.

(Editor's Note - I LOVE the silica gel kitty litter. It lasts much longer, and contains smells better than ordinary kitty litter. Don't be fooled by products claiming "Only contains natural materials" Your kitty litter usually ends up in the rubbish and natural based litters then end up in landfills where the natural matter then rots and gives of greenhouse gasses. Silica gel though man made, is a naturally occuring product. Its non toxic, its non flammable and will become part of a solid land fill rather than rotting down. And don't be fooled by the price. Compare super cheap 2 litre detergent that is almost all water with a 500ml concentrate. Its the same deal with the silica gel. Twice the price, for 3 times the time it can be used.
