Question: So, I've got a kitten now...

[Gangrell]

Dinks is doing really well, she's finally getting some meat on her bones and her fur is coming in a lot thicker. We're getting her on dry cat food (mash it up with some milk).

Only thing that she's having a fickle time with is her litter box.

Thanks for all the advice guys

I really recommend against wetting dry food! The bacteria count goes through the roof when you do that!

Thanks for the advice Variol.

My kitty has always been difficult with her litter box too. Try changing the type of litter you use - they can be very fussy. The clumping stuff I find the best but there are different types (e.g., size) so trial a few. Also with Tuppy the usual 'one tray per cat plus one' rule didn't work - she has a tray in every room of my two-bedroom apartment as she refuses to use a tray that has already been used. Once I sorted out all her eccentricities, she's been fine but you just need to figure out what they like, and they can be very picky and it's really hard to stop a cat from peeing where they shouldn't as you rarely can catch them in the act.

Love to see a picture!

Seems like it. We had to change what we put her food in too. Used to be a small saucer, now it has to be a small (sauce) container bowl. Otherwise, she'd dive face and paws first into the food to eat.

Photo might take a bit, my camera's on the fritz with my internet, best way I can describe her, a cross between a mouse and a bat.

Very disproportioned kitty

You could draw a picture in paint!

..and yes, food can be tricky. Scuba eats the homemade stuff I make for them and the little bit of dry I give them for their teeth.

Missy is much fussier. She has the dry stuff and that's a bout it. She did finally have some turkey and roast beef yesterday, which was great to see.
I don't like the dog and cat foods; they're virtually all crap.
