    Litter training
    Can my kittens share a litter box with mummy cat? Because I bought a separate one and mummy cat seems to be using both. I idealy want my mummy cat to poop outside but have no idea how to go about this either. Help!! :confused:

    If you want your cats to poop outside you will have to stop providing a litter box for them and make sure that they have access to the outside at all times. I have never heard of anyoone being able to train a cat to only poo outside &pee in the box. Also if your cat continues to go out she will become pregnant again in just a few weeks. I wish you would consider spaying her. We just found 2 litters of kittens, last week. The rescues and shelters are full of them.

    Yes, the kittens can share a litter box with mom. Just be sure to scoop at least once a day so the box stays clean and inviting. Like bushg said, you can't train a cat to "go" only outdoors or in a certain litter box. Even a sign won't work, since cats can't read. (sorry - just a little cat joke... )

    And also like bushg said, please please please get Momma Cat spayed. Shelters are full of homeless and abandoned cats and kittens. In fact, please keep her indoors (and she will prefer that once she's spayed).
