Litter trained in one day!
This is the big one! April used the litter tray! Good job, April!
Kittens start to pee on their own at about a month old, and they have the instinct to try to find an out-of-the-way spot to do it. Typically, each of them finds a different spot, and it can get quite messy for a few days. I put a shallow tray with fresh litter, topped with a sprinkle of used litter – and hope that is a high recommendation to go there. Usually they all agree on the plan within a few days.
April, bless her heart, chose the tray right away. That not only means one little puddle I don’t have to clean up, it means the tray will now smell like the right spot, and – hopefully – the others will all follow suit. Instant litter training!
I love clumping cat litter, but I don’t use it for kittens. They’re like toddlers, putting everything in their mouths. If a kitten eats clumping litter, it’s not good. So this is pellets made of newspaper, and it doesn’t clump. It’s a pain to clean, because you can’t sift it, but it’s much safer.

A name for the biggest kitten!
Harley
The fourth kitten is now Harley, and that’s everyone named. It’s a cute name for him. It has the pushy, biker dude vibe, but it’s also just kind of cute for the adorable guy.
