My kitten (m) eats wet litter after my cat (f) piss

Hello there! It’s great that you’re reaching out with this concern about your kitten. Eating wet litter, especially after your other cat uses the box, is definitely worth keeping an eye on. First, kittens are naturally curious and might explore things with their mouths, but this behavior could also indicate other issues.



One possibility is that your kitten is attracted to the smell of ammonia in urine, which can resemble the smell of some food tasks, particularly if your kitten is lacking certain nutrients. Another reason could be a mineral deficiency, where your kitten is trying to supplement its diet. Stress or boredom might also lead your kitten to engage in this behavior as a coping mechanism.



At home, you can gently steer your kitten away from the litter box right after your other cat has used it and ensure they have plenty of interactive toys to stay mentally engaged. Also, make sure your kitten is eating a high-quality kitten food that meets all their nutritional needs.



Keep an eye out for signs such as vomiting, diarrhea, or any signs of distress, as ingesting litter particles could potentially lead to blockages or digestive upset. If you notice any of these symptoms, or if the habit persists, it might be a good idea to schedule a video consult with a veterinarian on Dial A Vet. They can provide more personalized advice and reassurance. Take care!
