My two new 10 week old kitten have been at my house for a week now. Both are being kept in a large cage while no one is at home or can monitor them as I also have an inside dog and older 16yoa cat.
Both are using the litter box, playing and having a good time! But I have caught one of them inappropriately urinating twice. Once was after she pooped in the box, then I removed her so I could get the sample for the vet (yes I probably disturbed her) and the second time she was just playing in another room. She didn't seem to offer to go back into the the room with her litter box. This isn't the same litter box the older cat is using either.
I'm so worried this will become a habit and it really worries me. Both times I've told her NO and sat her in her litter box. Any suggestions or words of wisdom to try and fix this problem? I can't stand the idea of having to get rid of the kitty. Thank you in advance!
