Aww, I'm sorry to hear that you're not going to get a cat right now. I'm glad you'll be adopting later, though.

Actually, it's funny, but momma cats train their kittens to use the litter box right away-- it's an evolutionary thing. Most kittens are fully litter-trained by the time they're weaned. When you get them, you just have to put them in the litterbox a few times and they figure it out.

I can understand why you'd want a kitten-- they're hilarious!-- but I'd encourage you to think about getting a full-grown cat from a shelter. You can still get full-grown cats that are only a year or two old, so they've got a long, full life ahead of them. Another bonus is that often they're already fixed, so you're saved that vet bill. It's kitten season right now, so the shelters will be full of them and it'll be easy to find one, but in a few months most of them will have been adopted out to people who want a kitten, and all that will be left are adults who'll be put down if nobody adopts them.

Just my two cents. Either way, yay for getting kitties!
