When do kittens start using the litter box?

May 17,2023


Kittens generally start using a litter box around 3-4 weeks old. When they start weaning is generally considered a good time to introduce them to a litter box. Before that, kittens are cleaned up by their mothers when they do go to the bathroom. Once they wean, however, their mother prompts them to look somewhere else to take care of their bathroom needs.
