My kitten is six weeks old, and she fights and fights with her sister over food. Her sister is my brothers kitten. My kitten's name is nackie. I don't now why she fights over food, theres always a big plate full of food. and what i'm asking is, how do i make them fighting? and how do i make my kitten stop sleeping in the dirty stinky litter box? i need to now soon. From Skylar. (i can't stand the smell!) (she lays on my shoulder so i smell it alot!) <blockquote><em><strong>Hi Skylar</strong> The kittens are hungry that is why they are fighting ... for survival because they will die if they don’t get enough to eat!

Hi Skylar
The kittens are hungry that is why they are fighting … for survival because they will die if they don’t get enough to eat! Feed them food they want to eat and not food you think they should eat …or they will fight!

My guess is the kittens don’t sleep, but rather walk in the ‘filthy, dirty’ litter tray which is really disgusting because it’s your job to you to keep it clean and fresh. You should be changing their litter at least twice a day - it’s sort of like pulling the toilet chain every time you use it.
