How can I train my kitten?

A cat is an extremely clean animal by nature so it is usually pretty easy to teach it to go to its litter box; show it only once or twice and you already have a trained and clean kitten.

However, accidents can and do happen. In this case, avoid punishing your pet (it will only terrorize it,) and rather show the litter box again. Be patient. Quickly clean any “accidents” and make sure there are no odours left to prevent further mistakes.

It is also highly recommended to use a hygienic and absorbent litter such as the “Kittens and long-haired cats” formula (City or Extreme Classic) as a safer alternative to clumping litters. Although a clay litter is safe, a young kitten will tend to play with it, sticking some into its nose and swallowing some. Clumping clay might block its nose, preventing it from breathing. Fortunately, this tendency to play with its litter should disappear soon.

You can use this type of litter for your cat's whole life or just the first eight months, while it is still very young.
