How to litter train an orphaned kitten & get her to eat from a bowl?

Monitor her for her cues that she is about to "go". This may be circling, sniffing around, pacing or squatting. Immediately place her in the litter box. If she has accidents, you can place the stool in the box or soak up the urine in a tissue and place it in the box. Litterbox attractants can also be used. Praise and reward her when she uses the litter box. Be patient and be consistent. To get her to eat on her own, discontinue hand feeding. Use a different plate or bowl. Warm her food slightly or mix in a teaspoon of baby food to stimulate her appetite. Again, be patient and don't give in. She will eat when she is hungry.
