Cat Breeders
Pick a place for the litter box away from the food bowls. Most people use the laundry room, basement, or bathroom for the litter box. Remember that cats are very particular about where they go to the bathroom, and they do not like to use a litter box that is near anything noisy or disruptive. So do not put it right next to the washer or dryer, for example, or by the furnace or beneath a frequently used staircase.
You must take precautions to remove all unsafe things from their reach. If you have children, this becomes more difficult. Pick up all toys under two inches in length. Also pick up paper clips, coins, rubber bands, ribbons, tape, yarn or string, and any other small object a kitten could try to swallow.
Close all cabinet doors, and keep all cleaners, chemicals, and toxic substances out of kitten's reach. If your house is undergoing construction, be bery careful of paints, paint thhiner, adhesives, insultaion, lead paint, asbestos, nails, and other supplies. Excessive dust and fumes during construction also can harm your kitten.
Do not use litters heavy in deodorants-some cats are allergic to them. The same goes for dusty litter you use. It makes many kittens sneeze.
Whatever type of litter you use, keep the litter box clean. That means that if you use a clay or paper litter, change the entire box daily. Use a disinfectant to wash the box out, then dry it, and refill it with about one to two inches of fresh litter. Do not let stool or soiled litter sit in the box-it can increase your kitten's likelihood of getting an infection. If you use the clumping litter, scoop out the soiled clumps daily, then change the litter and wash the box weekly.
Pick a spot for the food and water bowls. Most people use the kitchen floor. Notice I said food and water. Some people erroneously think kittens do not drink water. All animals need water-fresh, clean water, changed several times daily. Keep the water bowl within two feet of the food dish, so your kitten will learn that where there's food, there's also water. Do not be surprised if your kitten prefers your faucet for his water. Most cats instinctively know that cold, running water is cleaner than warm, stagnant water.
