Start with a calm, obvious setup

Place one low-sided box in a quiet room where your kitten already feels safe. Keep food and water away from the box, use a soft unscented litter, and show them the location after naps, meals, and play sessions.

What to do when accidents happen

Avoid scolding. Clean the spot with an enzyme cleaner, move a small amount of soiled litter back into the box, and reset the routine. Most kittens improve quickly when the box is easy to find and consistently clean.

If your kitten strains, cries, or suddenly stops using the box after doing well, call your vet. Medical discomfort can look like training resistance.
