Thread: Kitten peeing outside litter.

I had a pregnant rescue that gave birth to seven kittens. She was a good mom but had less than stellar litter habits and was not training her kittens to use the box. I took over and used a small shoe box for them. Like you, I would simply bring them to the box several times a day. I would also move their paws for them and show them how to cover properly. However! It was our male Siamese/Himalayan that truly taught the kittens. He was a fabulous "cat dad" and bathed them, played with them, and eventually they were following him everywhere. Mom did not wean the kittens until 13 weeks and I had many people waiting for their babies because this part was too important. My MC's are very different from the usual cat. Both are very sensitive and close to me, both still enjoy kneading and nuzzling, even though they are adults. It is a complete myth that cats are solitary animals!! We adopted our big ginger tabby two years ago and were leaving for vacation a few weeks after he came home. My mom looked after the cats while we were away and called me, saying that Sampson really loved people and would cry when she left. He was very upset to be alone, even with our two females. So, I will also add my vote here for a buddy for Teemo. He is so young and he will benefit from the education and friendship of another cat, ideally an adult who gets on well with kittens.
