Before you make a kitten:
* Prepare a bed for your kitten. For the first time, they can serve as a robust cardboard box. Kittens love to stay comfortably in her crib. You can cut one side of the box, bend it and put newspapers, or an old sweater for warmth. After a few weeks your pet will need a comfortable bed.

The first few days in your home.
Bring a kitten in the house when you have the opportunity to be with him for a few days, for example, on the weekend. If possible, provide him peace and quiet.

* Choose a quiet room. Close the windows, cut off the heaters and place the crib for a kitten in a warm place, where there is no draft.

* Put a sanitary tray filled in easily accessible, but the "secluded" location away from the bowl with the food.

* When you bring a kitten leave the cage open, portability, let the kitten will choose from it. Perhaps he wants to first explore every corner of your new home before seeing you, or just get in his crib.

* When the kitten will come to you, talk to him softly and gently caress him.

* Offer kitten food and fresh water regularly after a certain time. This can often induce him to communicate with you.

* If you bring a kitten into the house, where there lives another cat or a dog, place the animals in different parts of the house. A few days later acquaint him with other animals. At this time, the animals must be fed separately. Do not leave them unattended.

How to train a kitten to use the toilet.
Your kitten may learn to use the sanitary tray by copying their mother. However, if this does not happen, he needs help:

* After the meal, carefully lower the kitten into the tray and leave it there for a while. A few days later, he realizes that this is the right place to carry the toilet.

* Watch carefully for a kitten. When he began to sniff the floor, pripadat or scratch it gently take your kitten in its tray.

* Keep the sanitary tray clean. A strong smell of disinfectant may scare the kitten, so use only a very dilute solutions of chemicals to clean the tray.

Remember once and for all in the kitten and adult cat can not scream, can not be beat and scare. Animals do not understand human words, and how much would you not uttered his pet that can not write here, it is impossible to chew on, and you can not go over there, he'll never understand and if a reprimand will be placed also on a raised voice - scared, Holding his fear and distrust. The most frequent conflicts with the cat or a cat appear in the toilet issue. Cats are very clean and require the same of their owners. Cat litter should always be cleaned or it must be pure filler. Most often, kittens are able to go to a certain place, they learn that the mother and the new owners just need to show you where the toilet. Do not be put off by the first "miss" if the kitten is at a loss and went for the first time not in the tray. In no case do not have to miss him by the collar, to poke his nose into a puddle or pile, and with the formidable cries to drag the toilet: the kitten did not understand, but afraid, and can not be linked to your own puddle on the floor, namely toilet where I poked him so rudely. Dip a piece of paper in a puddle, put it in the litter box and put the kitten, he guessed about everything. The main thing is to do everything quietly, without shouting and anger. Often cats express their dissatisfaction with the behavior of the host sudden abandonment of going to the toilet, start doing their business anywhere, in the most unexpected and outrageous locations. The owner must first understand yourself - not whether it offends a cat, whether for toilet cleanliness, etc.
