Instruction
1. In the first several weeks after the birth when they are on "breastfeeding", the kittens "are served by a cat. Licking kids, the rough language she at the same time masses area of an anus and the uric channel, immediately eating and pinching everything that is allocated. Therefore purity always reigns in cat's "nest" and it seems to inexperienced owners that this cat's "angels do not crap".
2. Excrements of kittens can be seen only after they gradually or at once if to take away them from a cat, begin to pass to a usual forage. Usually it occurs at the age of 3-4 weeks. In this case the cat already ceases to lick them for the purpose of "utilization" of waste and you need to seize this moment to accustom kittens to a tray.
3. As a rule, there is it without problems if you managed to monitor in time their first attempts to descend in a toilet independently. For this purpose you on call already have to have a tray with filler or a usual box with sand. As soon as you noticed that the kitten began to worry and scrape pads a surface, kind of breaking off sand, transfer it to a tray. Usually these neatniks have enough once to understand what from them is required.
4. As soon as the kitten starts going to a tray, you will have an opportunity to control how often he craps and pisat. Frequency of visits of a tray "more" depends on with what you feed it. If it is the semi-fluid forage containing the vegetables rich with cellulose will visit a tray it 3-4 times a day. When its forage consists of proteinaceous food, and you give it in addition special dry feed for kittens, the number of such visits will be no more than 2 times a day.
5. But you should understand that it is important not so much how many times he craps, and quality of excrements. If the kitten is healthy and receives the balanced food, its excrement will be the same form and consistence, as well as at adult cats, maybe, slightly more softly, but the diarrhea should not be definitely. In kotenochy excrement also there should not be neither slime, nor, especially, blood.
