New Kitten Guide: How to Set Up the Perfect Litter Box

Bringing home a new kitten is an exciting moment ~ and one of the most important first steps is setting up a clean, comfortable litter box your cat will actually want to use. In this short video, we walk you through exactly how much litter to pour, why “less is more,” and how to help your kitten understand where to go from day one. Using a high-quality litter like World’s Best Cat Litter® makes daily clean-ups easier, keeps odors down, and prevents the dreaded “litter everywhere” mess that happens when the pan is filled too high.

You’ll see how to fill the pan to the ideal depth, how to refresh it every few days, and a simple trick to show your kitten that this is their designated bathroom spot. These small steps make a huge difference in helping your cat feel secure and confident in their new home.

At Frame Your Feline®, we’re passionate about giving cat parents practical, real-world tips that make life with your feline smoother, happier, and cleaner — from smart litter box setups to elevated cat shelves, artwork panels, and stylish ways to enrich your home.
