My kitten plays in litter box. How do I get her to use cat tower?

Question

Will my 6 month old kitten grow out of playing in her litter box? It's so unsanitary. We got her a tower recently that she doesn't even touch, plus lots of boxes for her to play in. How can I get her to use cat tower more? Feliway doesn't seem to work. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 6 months and 8 days old | 6 lbs

Hi ! Have you considered to use one of those closed litter boxes ? I find these very useful to prevent litter from being thrown everywhere around the house. In order to make her use a cat tower more you could try feliway scratch, which is a new product which is very useful in getting the cat attention on a different item for scratching and it could be helpful in getting a bit more interest in the tower too as it uses certain pheromones. I think it might have a certain tinge though so as long as you don’t mind using it on the tower itself. If not you could try hiding some catnip toys, remember cats use play to mimic hunting behaviour as well, so they quite often like feathery toys or toys that can be destroyed in smaller pieces or that seem to appear and disappear... hope this helps !
