At six weeks of age, Roxy should be on her way to weaning, and you can get her used to her dry food by make a kitten mush. I would soak a high quality kitten formulated dry food in water water until soft. Then mix that with kitten formula such as KMR to make a mush the consistency of oatmeal. Over the next two weeks, gradually increase the amount of dry kitten food and decrease the amount of water and KMR you use until she is eating the dry kitten food only. Make sure she has plenty of water at all time, and it's quite easy to litter box train her. Simply put Roxy in the box after she eats, and make a scratching motion in the litter with your finger. She will pick up on it quickly.
