- We have two new kittens, one 12 weeks old and the other 6 weeks old. They
- both prefer to go urinate and defecate on the newspaper under the cat box,
- as well in various places around our house, rather than in the cat box. I'd
- like to know if there are any "training aids" that can be used to induce them
- to use the box exclusively. We've tried the behavioral types of things in a
- moderate way but without success. Are there scents we can spray to get the
- kittens to use the box or other scents that will deter them from using other
- sites? Are any of these undetectable by humans? What else should we try?
- Thanks...
