Just to add to the reassurance - Purdie, despite being a confident little thing, didn't do much in her tray for 48 hours!

They are gorgeous!

Re: Picked up our new kittens today


They are getting bolder - they crept out of hiding at breakfast time today to watch me put their food out.
I've been fishing for kittens with a green mouse on the end of a string, however Mum must have told them that green mice are ones which have gone off, and I had more success fishing with the string end. Managed to lure both out into the open with a string

I have howver found where they have been going to the toilet........

We gave them 2 uncovered litter trays filled with the same litter they had in the kennels as they had uncovered trays there. They have dug holes in the trays but done nothing.
They have a fleece blanket in a cardboard box, with a little door cut out of it which I thought they may like to sleep in - but they have been using this as a toilet. So I put the blanket in the wash. OH wanted to throw the box away and just put a litter tray there, but I wondered if the smell of the box and the fact it is a hiding place might help to encourage them, so I have moved one of their litter trays into the box. I hope this does the trick as the method of litter training I used last time I had an untrained one (over 20 years ago) was to pop the kitten on the tray a while after a meal, so that relies on them being better handled.

Re: Picked up our new kittens today


Latest report from OH is that Rosie went in the litter tray in the box
Pheobe followed her in there and obviously decided she might as well go to the toilet too

OH wants to replace the box with a covered tray, get rid of the box and shampoo the carpet now - but I have persuaded him to just put a bin bag down to protect the carpet from the slightly soggy box, and to leave it as it is until their behaviour is established.

Re: Picked up our new kittens today


They are just beautiful I love their markings, and that little pink nose is just too adorable

Good idea about the litter tray in the box - looks to be working too
