So I have a eight week old male kitten. So far he's been restricted to one room, and the litter box is obviously in that room. I got him Sat. night and he was pretty skittish on Sunday but he's really warmed up today and yesterday. He slept on my arm all last night.
I'm a little concerned, though, because I haven't seen him pee in the litter box. He's pooped twice since he's been here but he hasn't peed that I've seen. If he isn't peeing in the box the only other place he could be going is under my bed and I obviously want to stop that. If he's in the litter box and I move at all or look his way he jumps out. (Unfortunately I don't have a way to block off access to under my bed, and until this weekend I won't have help to move my bed and see what's going on under there. ). Or could he be going when I'm gone and it just doesn't look like it? (I'm not using clumping litter, I'm using some organic, dust free kind that I can't remember the name of. ) He's eating and drinking well, he's zooming all over the place, and his tummy doesn't feel hard and it's not sensitive. I'm inclined to think peeing under my bed but I can't be sure.
What can I do encourage peeing in the box? And since he's so sensitive to attention, should I move the box to a different location? I'm thinking he might be ready to meet the rest of the apartment.
