Hi
Well some cats need a little more training than others but she will understand eventually.

The best thing you can do is to put her outside straight after her breakfast in the morning and also after her evening meal. Cats will often want to use the bathroom after feeding and so by putting her outside and not letting her back in for a while she will eventually have to start using outside and this will become a habit for her.

You could if you wish also go outside with her and using her paws dig in the earth a little bit. this just gets her used to the feel of digging earth which she will associate with using the bathroom.

P.S great picture.

best wishes Kate

Kits in litter....
by: Kate

We have three cats and one in particular won't go to the toilet outside. This is natural enough, some cats just do not like going to the loo outside. Let your kitten come inside and use the litter box, otherwise he will become distressed and think he is being bad...... Love his picture!
