Got a video for learning how to use kitty litter properly for my cat?

Place them in the litter then take a paw and gently use it to scratch the litter. The sensation will instinctively start the cat pawing at the litter and they will start peeing/pooping then cover it up. Should only take a few times of this if it doesn’t work immediately.

This 100%. They pick up on it quickly.

Also: kittens will, like any baby, taste anything that looks interesting. Clumping litter is not for kittens because of this.

I have tried that (he’s a ten year old adult), but he gets dramatic, squeals. There’s a lot of “bitey-bitey” and he flees away. I think he gets quite disgusted, and has no idea of what I’m actually trying to get him to do.

What about teaching them to not kick as much litter as possible out of the litter box? I'm pretty sure one of our cats does it on purpose, based on the way she examines her work after she does it.
