I adopted them for about a week now, I letting them free to roam inside the house and I don't think they feel stress because they are playful and get used to the house quick.
If the stools are yellowish you may have a problem. What are you feeding them?
Sad to say I had this same problem, we did the same thing, two kittens, one took to me, Pinkey other to her, Baby Baby. Baby Baby still with us but my Pinkey, no, he tried to pee on our bed so as a punishment i put him out side for the night and I have never seen him again, I think he got run over, I loved him, he loved me. I regret this every day I wake up, he waited for me to get home from work, she said he called for me all the time and went from one end of the house to other, so here is what I found, do not use scented litter or any thing that would not be natural, I found out that putting a little out side dirt may work, in other words it was my fault I lost the best friend you could have, so my best advise is work at it if you love them. Keep looking on the internet, this is where I found out it was my fault, for not knowing a cat is really a clean animal, they just don't want to get anything on them.
Welcome to TCS! The other posters have mostly given excellent suggestions, and something else I'd add is to look at the tutorials here on TCS, because you're starting at Cats 101, so to speak. Another good source of help especially with litterbox issues may be cat behaviorist Jackson Galaxy -- he hosts "MY CAT FROM HELL" on Animal Planet on satellite/cable TV and has videos on YouTube as well as several books. He is absolutely wonderful at helping people who don't know cats to become very good at sharing their lives with felines! Best of luck! (I would also suggest providing another type of litter, since they may not care much for the litter they have; and the suggestion to put the poop in the litterbox is a very good one. They will learn that the box is "for both".
I'm feeding them dry food just like my friend did, they don't have diarrhea. And thanks!Can you go back to your friend and ask whether they have had that problem when they were at his/ her house? Also, ask what litter they used.
Don't worry, I asked
When you ask your friend what he/she fed them also.
When you get a cat or cats you should feed them the same thing as the owner fed them for a week or so until they get used to your house then you slowly start mixing the food that you want to feed them in with the food they were eating. You should do it gradually over the period of a week. Kittens are may get diarrhoea when they are fed something they are not used to eating. You should also put the litter that they had been using and do the same with that ie gradually change it over to what you wish to use.
Something you need to know is that change stresses most cats out and they tend to hide their illnesses. I'm not saying that your cats are ill, I'm just letting you know that that's something they do.
If that's your cats in your profile icon, they are beautiful.
My cats only about 1 month old. I live in a small house and no more than 322.917 square feet.
I will do this and hope it works.Scoop up their poop when they poop outside of the box and place it inside the litter box. They will recognize the scent of their own poop, that should jostle them into understanding that the litter box isn't just for tinkling.
I lived in 332 sq. ft. with my 3 cats for a year and only 1 litterbox -- no problems whatsoever.
I know but this is the first time I having cats and I'm just confused and feeling a bit tired, but you both are right I will try to work this out for both of my cats.
*They sure wouldn't do it to you!*
Good! And of course you need to keep the boxes scooped and clean. Cats are the cleanest animals, far cleaner than humans could ever dream of being. They will not use a box if it has been used too much and not cleaned.
