What of litter box habits do they have? Does it vary between generations?
Kittens that are raised by their Mom s generally have little to no difficulties using the litter boxes. Kittens that are bottle fed should be placed in a small room with other kittens who will teach the new kitten all about hygiene. The breeder should do this prior to placing the kitten in its new home. This is another reason why kittens should not go to their new homes until they are 10-12 weeks of age. Small kittens should be confined to a small room, or sometimes a cage, until their litter habits are perfected and they remember where the litter box is. Of course, as with ANY cat, there is ALWAYS the chance that an individual cat may refuse to use a litter box. There are many reasons for this, but they are almost always environmental.
