I have a total of 22 cats. Most of these are rescue cats from various
shelters and vet's office. One of my re4scue cats was PG when I got
her. After she had the kittens she was a very good MOM cat except she
did not teach her kits to use the scratch box. Now I have four cats
that do their duty where ever they happen to be at the time.

Would appreciate some help with this problem. How can I train these
cats to use the scratch box?

Thanks a bunch.

I suggest training them one at a time....Put one of them in with other cats
who do use the scratch box, and see if she picks it up from the
others....Then (if she does) trade her off with another of the untrained
cats until they all have learned how....If you leave them together, they
will reinforce each other's bad behavior......

Sounds like my Mama. She was pregnant when she found us, and I was the one
who had to teach her kids to use the litter box when they were old enough.
Also, had to teach her, because she wanted to go out and do her thing, but I
was concerned she'd get run over and then I would have to wean the babies.
