Ok I need advice. Lol
I just got a 5-6 week old kitten from a shelter, (I know too early to be away from the mother) but for the past two days she's been pooping in my bedroom at night! The first time was because my door was shut (i know, my fault) and she usually meows when she needs to use the litter box, well I cleaned that up and immediately put her in her litter box and she didn't need to go, I used a spray that is supposed to clean the spot and make it to where they won't want to use that spot again, but last night, I left my bedroom door open and she did it again! Luckily I caught her in action, and went straight to the litter box, but she did it again a couple hours later!! I put her food up about 30mins before we go to bed, and take her to her litter box before as well. My boyfriend said to put the litter box in that same spot at night, but I don't want her to get confused when she gets older, when I take it away.
Also, I heard that wet cat food is good for them until they're about 6mos-1year, but her poop (tmi) is kind of runny...I leave a bowl of dry food out constantly but she doesn't eat it...should I mix the wet and dry food in together or leave them seperate?!
At that age, wet is the easiest to eat so I wouldn't worry about mixing it yet, I grew up with cats, in my experience, never move the litter box and always keep it clean. It takes about a week for our cats to get the hang of it, but once they do they always go where they're supposed to unless they had a UTI or something like that. I will say this, my mom started one of our cats on wet food because she was young and until her death, she would not accept dry food even when hungry...it was wet only, period.
