Not sure tbh Jane. Mother cat always cleans them up nicely, doesn't she?

Pip (since 9 weeks old) is a twice a day boy! Presumably because his gut is so small. He is a good boy and uses his litter tray. Has only once peed where he shouldn't.

Can't help with this as I've never had newborns. I know mum cat keeps them cleaned up, hope someone here with experience can advise.

They will start going as soon as they can walk to the litter tray, mum will keep cleaning up 'til then and after if they go in the bed but best to have one right next to the bed to start with so they don't have to go far. As soon as they are up and about they will start using it.

Re: when should they pooh


I've always given my hand-reared babies a litter tray from 3 weeks onwards. Even without mum they quickly got the hang of it!
I'd steer clear of using clay-based litters though-we had a kitten that had ingested it, causing the intestine to become blocked and rupture.
