i got myself a new kitten on monday and was very impressed that she took to her litter tray straight away (shes 10 weeks ) and did a number 1 and 2 in there. Since then she has had a series of accidents, weeing on the sofa my leg and at half four this morning my bed. Any ideas? She always goes to the tray for a number two but shes not using it for number 1s. i have a trya upstairs and one downstairs in the same place havent moved them.Help?

is the tray clean or does it have a lot of wee in it? cats are very particular about clean litter trays. Have you tried that crystal looking litter, you dont need to clean it out so much then as the smell evaporates. Failing that it maybe that she is smelling where she has weed and keeps going back there. Try putting her back in the tray every now and then just so she remembers. if she strarts going on the carpet pick her up and put her in the litter tray.

The tray is clean, i always take out what ever she has done after she has done it. I cant understand cause she goes in it to poo! How should i best get rid of the smell in the places she has had her accidents? Someone told me lemon juice?
i know its harsh but try shutting her in the room with the tray at night and smacking a rolled up newspaper on your hand or a squirt from a water spray and putting her on the tray in the day if she has an accident, she is probably a little stressed after leaving her mum so lots of extra love the rest of the time,i know its sad but i kept my tray in my downstairs loo and used to call my kittens to come with me whenever i went(they were following me around anyway) now all 4 of my cats dont have accidents anywhere unless they are ill of course if it carires on check with vet that she hasn't got a water infection good luck

She was shut in my bedroom with a tray in there last night. Might try the tray in the toilet thing though seeing as she follows me everywhere especially to the toilet. Shes getting loads of love shes very affectionate!
citronella oil is better than lemon juice but you can get special citronella spray in pet shops. bless her. if it carries on check with vet that she doesnt have an infection. is she meowing a lot or looking unsettled?

she meows alot and wanders around if she cant see or hear me. maybe i should take a trip to the vet. Ive only given her water to drink nothing else.
You can get rid of the smell with washing powder disolved in hot water then washing the area
a different answer but if you havent named that cat yet you could always call her piddles??? I'd give it to the end of the week and then take her to the vet. check she hasnt got any pink in her urine and that she doesnt cry when going to the toilet.
