Litter training is one of the most important things you’ll do when raising your new Sphynx kitten. At Purradox Sphynxery, we make sure that every kitten is fully litter trained before they leave us. This guide will explain the steps we take to transition our kittens from a traditional litterbox to a Litter Robot. We want to ensure your new kitten is prepared for any litterbox setup you prefer. Let’s take a closer look at our process and how it helps your kitten adapt quickly.
First, we begin with a traditional litterbox. This is the most common type of litterbox used by cat owners, so it’s a natural starting point for kittens. Here are a few reasons why we begin with this method:
Additionally, we always choose unscented, dust-free litter for our kittens. This type of litter is gentler on their lungs and prevents any respiratory issues. Plus, the lack of strong smells makes the transition easier for them.
At Purradox Sphynxery, we carefully monitor how each kitten is progressing with their litterbox training. We guide them by placing them in the litterbox after they eat or wake up from naps. This is when they are most likely to need to go. Kittens tend to follow their instincts, and they soon learn that this is the right spot for bathroom breaks.
If your kitten is using a traditional litterbox when they come home, rest assured they will already know how to use it. Our kittens are experts in using regular litterboxes by the time they’re ready for adoption. In fact, it’s one of the most common options for new cat owners.

As the kittens grow older, we begin the process of introducing them to the Litter Robot. This is a modern, self-cleaning litterbox that is perfect for busy households. We love using it for our Sphynx cats, and many of our adopters are interested in switching to a Litter Robot once they bring their kittens home.
Here’s how we make the transition from a traditional litterbox to the Litter Robot as smooth as possible:
Patience is key here. Some kittens take to the Litter Robot immediately, while others need a bit more time. This is perfectly normal. We give each kitten the time they need to feel comfortable using the Litter Robot.
If you’re thinking about purchasing a Litter Robot, we’ve written an in-depth Litter Robot Review. In this review, you’ll find out why it works so well for Sphynx cats and busy homes.
The Litter Robot is a self-cleaning litterbox that helps reduce the amount of time you spend scooping. For busy families or those with multiple cats, it can make life easier. Here’s why we like it at Purradox Sphynxery:
That said, not every family wants a high-tech litterbox. That’s perfectly okay! Our kittens are just as comfortable using a traditional litterbox, and we fully support whichever option works best for you and your home.
Ultimately, our goal is to raise kittens that can easily adapt to any environment. Whether you choose a traditional litterbox or a Litter Robot, our kittens are trained for both. By the time they leave us, they are comfortable with either setup.
If you’re starting with a traditional litterbox and plan to switch to a Litter Robot later, your kitten will be fine. The transition is simple, and they will adapt to either option quickly. If you want to learn more about caring for your new kitten, visit our kitten care guide for helpful tips.
In conclusion, litter training is an essential part of raising a healthy, happy Sphynx kitten. At Purradox Sphynxery, we take this process seriously, ensuring that each kitten is fully trained before they leave for their new homes. Whether you choose to continue with a traditional litterbox or upgrade to a Litter Robot, your kitten will be prepared.
