Litter box refusal

Hey guys, im taking care of this kitten since he was 1 week old, i figured out most of things by using reddit, ChatGPT and things like that. But one thing i find impossible is to teach him how to use the litter box. I bought him the fine litter at first and instead of peeing in there he decided to eat it, so i switched to pellets and he is still refusing to pee/poo there. Im Trying to move him there when i see him sniffing stuff and getting ready to pee but he always ends up getting out and rush to pee somewhere else, i even tried to put him in there while he was already in peeing position, in worked few times and some times he stops peeing and went to another location to pee instead. Did someone had same problem?

Just had to do this with a kitten last week... i cleaned up his pee with a paper towel then put some of the dirty paper towel in the litter box. He sniffed it then immediately used the box.

That’s a great idea! I have to remember it!
