if she is still a baby, not able to relieve herself…you have to piddle and poop her. Luckily i had a wannabe momma cat to do the messy stuff for me with my runt handicapped kitten. Turned out she wasnt all that handicapped afterall though.

If she can walk and is mentally there, then yeah, she will be using the litterbox. Just you are taking in a kitten sans its mom. Keep that in mind and the kittens age too.


Kittens are a lot of fun but as they get older they can get very smart--knocking things down, opening doors and cabinets, unraveling things, getting stuff, dragging stuff around the house, chewing paper, eating plastic bags, eating litter, playing with litter like it is a sandbox daily, chewing through the bag of food (get food bins, get child safety locks for cabinets)…

but kittens are a blessing and will reward you with cuddles of purrs. They can be very loyal if you treat them well. Play via toys, try not to use your hand as a toy. Try games like fetch and peekaboo. For fetch, i use half a sheet of paper wadded into a ball. Cats love laser lights. Avoid direct contact with the eyes. The more activity the less destructive demon kitteness occurs with your back turned or when your arms are just too far away to stop the domino effect unraveling before your eyes. Indoor cats live longer and dont catch as many parasites to bring back home.
