I just saved a little kitten in my house compound.
His mother abandoned him, so I brought him into home and setup a corner for him to stay, using cardboard and boxes to surround.
He has been with me for 2-3 weeks.

The problem is now I put litterbox, he doesn't want to use.
He still pass on top of cardbox like usual.
I've already caught him and put in litterbox, but no point.
How to train kittens to use litterbox?

Can try put pieces of soiled cardboard inside the litterbox?
Also, the kitten will poop soon after meal, maybe observe when he's sniffing around after meal and hurriedly put him to litterbox. When successful, give a treat.

Take some of his poop in the litter box. Litter box must be far from his food area.

After meal, normally a kitten will poo. You have to wait and if it seems that it's time to poo, take him to the litter box. Keep doing it until he can't hold it and poo in the litter box. No screaming / panicky sound. Make it as soothing as possible.

Normally after a few try, it will know where to poo.

You guys method worked!
I cut all the cardbox that he pooped before, and placed them around the litterbox.
Then i took some poop and put in litterbox.
Now he's pooping in the box.
Thanks for the help, bros.

Cat normally function based on familiar smells.  biggrin.gif  He must be following familiar poo smell into the litter bos.

One more thing, do experiment with different kind of litter box material. Crystals, tofu, pine, etc. Your cat will prefer one more than the other.

Nope.
This is my first time keeping a cat.
The litter i bought is from RM2.40 shop.
The litterbox is also from the same shop, which is used to plant plants, i think. Something like a paper dispenser used on office table. It has a low front entrance, which is easy for kitten to enter and exit.

Another thing, do you people separate kittens/cats by gender?
I'm afraid that if i saved more kittens and they're not spayed, on no time my house will have more kittens than humans.
I actually don't intend to spay them for the time being.

I intend to let them breed for 1 or 2 times, then I'll spay them afterwards.
I really love those cute kittens.

Congrats! The best litter I used so far is Cindy & Friends Tofu Litter, almost no smell and clumps very well (better than those Rm27-28 a pack).

Cat will reach sexual maturity by 6 months, best to spay/neuter - also to avoid marking and straying outside issues. I believe Selangor gomen have subsidy for cat spaying that cost less than RM100. Remember to get your cat vaccinated ya.

Thank you but too bad I'm not from Selangor.
At what age can a kitten get vaccinated and deworm as well as deflea?

Vaccine: 3 months (and min 3kg weight according to my vet)
Deflea: Can deflea immediately but mind the dosage according to kitty weight. My vet just advise me to spray Frontline on my kitty back when she was 3 months old and malnourished (just adopted her, her previous owner said she's 3 mth but vet said she looks like 2 mths so....)
*
I see i see.
I think my kitten is malnourished also.
2 months plus and still very small.
When i carry him, can feel he's skinny and his bones.

Happed to my cats too.

Kibbles time - meh... just an after thought snacking at night only.

Wet food in 400gm can - all 4 of them running to their food bowl in no time.  whistling.gif  tongue.gif

One thing, cat is a very puntual creature. Especialy with meal time. Do set a routine meal time. They will come running when the time come. As for us, 5pm is for wet food and 7am for kibbles. Daily routine.

True, i agree with you.
So now, i left the food for him and i don't care.
He got nothing to eat, so only dry kibbles there for him.
Want to eat or not, it's up to him. Haha

Haha, recently i adopted a 2 months old male kitten.
I mixed this male kitten together with my 5 or maybe 6 months old female cats together.

At first, one of my female cat bullied him for days.
After that, they're like best friends forever now.

Anyway, my question is, if i continue to keep them together, will my female cats get pregnant although their age is different?

That's for sure. Coming of age and boom - more kittens. Unless you do something (spayed and neutered) with them.  sweat.gif

I intend to give them a chance to breed.
After that I'll neuter them for sure.

QUOTE(idless @ Oct 10 2023, 12:08 PM)
Yes, cat become sexually matured at 6 months. If you don't have plans nor the budget to breed, please spay all your cats, starting with the female first.
It also resolve marking and roaming outside issues.
*
Don't worry, my cats are very obedient, because i kept them upstairs in cage whenever I'm not in.
Haha so they can't roam outside freely.
As for marking, I'm not sure yet.

Guys, are those anti flea/tick collar effective?
I noticed that one of my cat's ear is bitten by something, like got some small fresh bites.
I bought an anti tick/flea spray to spray on them, but they always run away.
Whenever i catch them, they'll use their paws to run and scratches me.
They don't like getting wet.

Guys, i rescued a siamese cat around 3 months ago.

Her mother gave birth to 7 babies.
6 babies are fat and chubby.
This baby cannot manage to snatch milk, so she lost.
After 3 days without milk, she's on the brink of death.

So i brought her back and fed her milk.
The next day, she's still the same, so i brought her to clinic and she stayed in icu for 4 days.

Now, she's more than 3 months old, and soon 4 months old.

Thanks bro.
She's like my daughter.
Haha, she totally changed my wife's thinking and perception towards cats.
All this while, my wife is very scared of cats.
Now my wife loves her more than i do.
Every night must call her to sleep with my wife.

You and whole family are good people.
May god bless all the good people.

I feed stray cats daily around the apartment I stay with Taste of Wild Angus Beef already for 1 year.
I took home a few months old stray female cat while seeing her being bullied by few male cats. 
After one month I get to know that she already pregnant.
Now she has 3 kittens staying with me.

Her story at Tik Tok :  mycathuihui

That's great.
We should support the adoption initiative.
May god bless you too.

Guys, what do you people think of Whiskas brand as a whole?
Saw 99 Speedmart and Shopee selling this brand, and it's a lot cheaper than famous brands like Royal Canin, etc.
I searched on the internet, saying this brand is no good.

dry,  for wet food , the cheap ones are mostly from meat derivatives + fish,

meat derivatives are parts frm animals not for human consumption.

Understood now, just like the processed meat we eat.
Ok, will avoid whiskas in future.

Guys, I've some problem here, with my cat.
I wanted to take her to neuter, but the problem is she's on heat for 4-5 days, then subsided for 1-2 days, then after that on heat again.
This has been repeating 7 or 8 times already, and I cannot neuter her at all.
Anyone facing this problem before?
What can I do?
