Hi--
I haven't had kitens for over 20 years (always got older cats from the SPCA), but now have the honor of adopting 2 beautiful little kitties from the neighbor's cat.
I brought them home last night and they seemed to be adjusting fine. This morning, however, one of them pooped on my bed, and the other one peed on it.
I always thought that you only had to show them the litter box and scratch their paws in the litter to teach them where to go. Obviously, I was wrong
I didn't yell at them or anything, just picked them up and showed them the box again. I'm hoping this will be the last time it happens.
Have I done something wrong with the trainning? The box was just in the next room, not so far away, is brand new, and I am using silica litter. I wonder if that is the problem. I have never used anything other than clay litter in the past, but was advised by the pet store that this is much better. The cat box is also in asecluded place, so kitty privacy is not an issue.
Any help would be appreciated, and I still love my kitties as jch as ever!
