DP and I got a kitten on Friday from a woman we vaguely know (friend of friend etc..). She had lots of cats and DK had never met another human. He smelled a bit when we got him but has since started cleaning himself. Vet said he was healthy. He was very timid but is slowly coming out of his shell and is incredibly affectionate. The only thing we're struggling the crack is the litter tray! We're not sure he has ever used one before, because he seems to have no clue when we put him in it. The first couple of nights we found little poos and wees around the living room, so we moved his bed/tray/food to the bathroom and shut him in there overnight. This worked but then the gas man came and he panic pooed on his bed this morning. How can we get him to use it all the time? Should we leave him in the bathroom again tonight?
