How can I teach a kitten how to clean itself?

To teach a kitten how to clean itself, gently stroke its fur with a damp cloth to mimic the sensation of grooming. Encourage the kitten to lick its fur by placing a small amount of wet food on its paw. Additionally, provide a clean litter box for the kitten to use for grooming its paws and face. Over time, the kitten will learn to groom itself naturally.
