Their mother goes outside but they are too little to manage to get out how she does. We could provide them with a cat door but I wonder if the mother cat will use it and teach them how to.
Answers:
Locate the area where you'd like them to go and place a litter box or sand in the area. Place the kittens in the sand and they will naturally choose it for going to the bathroom.
get kitten talk and say please go to the bathroom outside in kitten talk!111.
They will follow what the momma cat does and if you don't want them to use the bathroom in the barn it would be wise to put in a cat door.
You do not. you cannot.. if they are an outside kitty, they will go wherever they want and it is impossible to teach them.. The ONLY way that I would know is to have a litter box outside the barn but in an area that is free from rain, etc.. THEN the kitty MIGHT learn to go there.. you would have to put the cat in the box just to possibly prove to him that it is there.. but other than that.. I would not have much faith in the fact that it will learn on its own
i would think that they would follow mom. if they are only a month old then mom takes care of the bathroom stuff.
are the kittens 5 months old or do you have 5 one month old kittens??
either way you should get mom cat spayed - even farm homes need to be responsible
when they are old enough they will go out side but until then you can provide them with a litter box in the barn. when its cold they should stay indoors anyhow.. outdoor cats have so many risks - frost bite is one of them
Eventually they will learn by mimicking their mother but if that does not happen give out to them everytime the do it in the barn and u should take them outdoors or everytime the mum has to do it bring the kittens to her so that she will teach them . I have been raising cats for 15 years
