Kittens in the litterbox

The kittens are less than a month old, and today one of them used the litterbox like she’d been doing it for years. Smoke may not be the strongest or biggest, but her instincts put her at the top of her class! She had: 1) never been in a litterbox before, and 2) never peed before like a grownup cat.

That’s Gemma in front, and Smoke’s in the back just doing the right thing in the right place.

Mama Sylvie sat near the litterbox and all the kittens got pretty excited, and three of them went into the litterbox for the first time. They hadn’t been big or strong enough yet to get over the sides. Mia and Gemma just went in and climbed back out again, but Smoke could tell by smell what she was supposed to do – so she did. I love dogs as well, but this sure beats housebreaking puppies!
