How do you deal with your litter tray?

[Vajazzler]

I have 2 new kittens and am wondering how I should deal with my litter tray?!?
A few questions -
Do you completely empty it every day?
Do you scoop out poo?
What do you do with the contents when you empty it?< It feels so wasteful to use a bag
every time!>
I am suddenly freaking out a bit about the fact that they are treading wee/poo germs with every step. Can you help me????

Discovered the reason for no smells. They are all refusing to use it so either they are all getting very constipated or they have found another place to go (uh-oh)

Uh oh! Lets hope you dont start finding little piles around the house!
Mine have taken to it no probs. They seemed quite suspicious at first but now they go fine. As far as smells go we do still have a stench but i think this is because they do the smelliest poo known to catkind! I am looking into changing their diet....

Vajazzler, glad you seem to rate it!
ohyoubadkitten, give it time, they may come back to it. Found out where they have been going?

I suspect the veggie patch
We had one poo in the tray overnight. woohoo. When it rains they'll come back to it with open paws.

Wonder if you litter tray afficionados could advise me, please? I brought a lovely 10 week old kitten home yesterday, and she is deeply uninterested in using the litter tray. She has, however, picked her own spot on the dining room floor, where she tries in vain to cover her tracks by kicking up the laminate floor . Should I put the litter tray there? Or will she just pick somewhere else?

watch her like a hawk, soon as she goes to her spot, put her in the tray, hold her paw and scrape it into the litter for her, thats how i got my kitten to wee. This can also work if you ever need them to pee in the special tray vets give you to get a urine sample just keep putting them in the tray and scraping their paw through the litter.
Also, yes, put the tray where she has been weeing. oh, and buy one of the diffusers (to keep her from being stressed, cats get stressed with house moves, new evironments, new anything) and one of the sprays to spray over unwanted wees from here

Nutrecare

sparkly has given good advice. Also, pop any business that you can into the tray so it smells like the place to go and make sure that until the kitten learns where the litter tray is that they can't wander too many rooms away from it as they can get a bit lost/lazy at first. little bladders and all that.

Thank you!
I put the pristine, unused tray in the dining room this morning, and she left me a poo and wee on the floor in the utility room (where the tray stood overnight, and where I really want it to be!).
I think I will try a different litter - we've got the wooden pellets, and maybe she's not keen. I think they were using some kind of training pad where I got her, but judging by the smell in the house, none of the cats cared where they went!

I got some crystals. Kitten wants to eat them and play with them, but not put them to their proper use.

To update, we have fallen in love with the crystal stuff. one bag lasted 3 weeks before it all turned yellow. no smells at all, very little tracking and much much easier to clean :)
