    I thought this was something mum had to teach them. All I did was pick up the kitten crap, and put it in the new tray. Almost immediately one kitten got the idea.

    I know, I found it to be amazing as well. When we got our youngest, the only thing we had to to Is show her (and her siblings, we got homes for the whole litter) the box once. They had just opened their eyes, and they got it. It must be some sort of instinct.

    They even immediately knew that they should dig in it!

    It's probably because the kitty litter is the place in your house that's most similar to a natural environment they'd want to poop in. It's interesting stuff the amount of instinctual knowledge animals have

    Cats are desert animals and are hunters. They instinctually bury their droppings to hide the scent from potential prey.

    Don't really know but that is one of the things I love about cats. I noticed that my previous cat could spot a new cat toy as I was taking it out of the bag. He would get all excited. :) I tried eliminating every "tell" I could think of. That never did any good.
