Cats do not come into this world knowing how to use a litterbox. Kittens learn how to use a litterbox from their mother around 4 weeks of age. If orphaned kittens are found, the caretaker must be responsible for introducing, or imprinting the litter box concept.
Most kittens learn how to use a litter box very quickly. Most often we hear horror stories from cat owners on how their cat has been going to the bathroom in everyplace BUT the litterbox.
