And someone years ago, suggessted lightly holding a front paw, and gently scratching the litter. Supposed to trigger the instinct. If you catch where he's doing his business, maybe move the box there? Maybe try a different litter, even dirt or sand? Even a different litter box, larger smaller, different material?

Out of the many kittens we had over the years, there was one that wouldn't use the litter box. Hope Tudor catches on.

I have heard him scratching and he does, on occasion use the litter box. Just not consistently.

He'll get the idea. I think it's just a little harder wit him being a single kitten and the bit kidcats still haven't figured out what he actually is.

The one I had wouldn't use a box at all. I can't remember if it was a boy or girl, but I tried every trick I knew.

Keep up the good work

watching him join the troops. I envy you that joy.

I went out at about 10 to make sure there were no shivering kittens needing help. From what I could see, they were ALL pushed together into the shelter. We are all now looking for a bigger cooler that can be repurposed to a roomier cat shelter.x`

What about putting two coolers side by side with connecting openings between them?

Once I get past today, I'll have less on my mind and more time to start haunting the charity shops and yard sales.

Are they for trap, neuter/spay, and release? The female ferals will be grateful.

Or, are the classes for trapping and finding good homes?

I just want to move past today's doctor appointment, which should clear the slate, for a while.

The older cats would not be good for rehoming but they can stay here for as long as they want. The kittens I'd like to rehome. I might stop at the local humane society and see how they do that intake. They are a no kill shelter. And a friend will be here, next month, and she's kind of interested.

some royal behaviors?

I'm hoping he will sleep until I get back from this dreaded appointment. Maybe I'll use him as an excuse to speed things along. I wish I could bring him with me.
