Yes, no worries..kittens do play in litter boxes...mine are 14 weeks old and still playing in the litter

 

[shimmeringsoul]

ok is it a good thing im stopping him doing it? im sure it is but i feel i should ask anyway

 

[Rafiki]

Redirect him to play with something else.

hes springy kitty today lol its great crying im laughing so hard

 

[Rafiki]

Make sure that he is not eating the clumping litter. If so, you may have to switch him to something else until he outgrows the taste everything stage. I had to keep Rafiki on pine pellets for 6 months until she stopped taking a bite out of everything.

hes not eating it just pulling small piece out and batting it around i think we have gotten him to stop tho he hasnt done it in 2 days

This is good advice! Clumping litter eaten can cause a blockage Agreed with Rafiki that trying a different litter if Freddy is eating or tasting the clumping litter is a good idea....try adding another box or three with pellets or other non-attractive-to-eating litter next to your existing box and in other locations in the house.

Also considering adding Dr. Elsey's Cat or Kitten Attract Litter to the new litter...it really does work!

no worries he isnt eating the litter lol or the poo lol just pulls a piece out and bats it around

 

[shimmeringsoul]

but like i said he has stopped doing it so far

I heartily recommend cleaning the litterbox more often than every 2-3 poos. Box maintenance may not be an issue now but it could be as he gets older. I clean my boxes 2-4 times a day depending on how much they go. Granted I have 4 cats and 6 boxes whereas you have one cat so I've got way more pee & poop piles. Would also think about adding another box. Freddy might enjoy have a box for pee and one for poo.
