Kittens usually start learning to use the litter box at 3 or 4 weeks of age, so by the time you bring your kitten home, she will likely be used to using a litter box.You will not need to train your kitten to use the litter box in the same way that you would housebreak a puppy.However, it is important to make sure your kitten knows the location of the litter box in her new surroundings. Make sure the box is not in a noisy or hard-to-reach place.f you have more than one cat, make sure that the litter box is not in a location where one cat can 'corner' another as she leaves the litter box (for example in a hallway that ends in a dead-end). There should always be an entrance and an escape route.

Can cat urine turn into ammonia? If so will cleaning it with bleach cause me to get sick? Yes, it can make you sick. Cat urine contains ammonia. Never bleach a litter box in the house. if you have to, open a window, even in winter. After go outside and get fresh air for a few minutes. I've found that 3 cap fulls of Listerine work well for deodorizing a litter box best.hus, i've always used normal cleaning detergent once a week to clean up the litter trays. Then put in new kitty litter for the cat's use again. Bleach if used too much, or inhaled too much will make you feel sick. Do not think it's the cat's urine smell, i think you've overdone it on the bleach itself. Leave it be.

But to a cat these can smell overwhelming and make the box unwelcoming. Most veterinarians advise against using these products.
