How many litter boxes do you have?

I have 4 cats (Isis joined us a month ago and I thought i'd find her owner so I waited to get a 3rd box) but they do fine with 2 boxes so I'll probably leave it at that. I have one that's deep and i put a lot of litter in it. I scoop every day and change it totally every 2 weeks. I used to do it every week but with such a deep bed and clumping, it's not really necessary. No accidents to report at all and ordor isn't a problem so I think everyone is happy.

I live in a 2 bedroom appartment and I used to have the boxes in the kitchen or bathroom but I got tired of walking on litter so they are both in my bedroom side by side and i have a towel in front of the boxes. They are covered.

I have a one bedroom apartment and I have 4 cats. I have three litter boxes. One small one and a large one. I got kinda lucky and I have a pantry thing in my kitchen which has no shelves and you can walk into it. I keep the litter boxes in there. My mom has her huge litter box for three cats in her laundry room . It doesnt scare the cats. They are like ages two five and seven.

I have 3 litter pans for 3 cats in a one bedroom condo. You may run into some problems if you go down to one litter pan. I'd really look for another corner to put the second one in. Especially since they are used to having two.

10 cats, 10 litter boxes! the 3 littles share a little one for litter training purposes!

3 cats and one Litter Robot. I can't say enough good stuff about it!

I have 9 cats, and 7 litter boxes. The 2 quarantined cats have 1 box in their room upstairs. I find, with daily scooping and at least weekly scrubbing out, this works. I also love the Cat's Pride Kat Kits--a cheap plastic pan, pre-filled with litter (I love their cheap litter--works as well as anything else, and I think it scoops better--I hate the clumping, sandy-textured stuff). The Kat Kits are about $2.49, but are well worth it. I often wash them out, and refill with the same litter, bought in a huge bag. I can use them about 5 times before the pan cracks. This way, if I'm in a hurry, I can just trash the box (I keep about 15 on reserve). I also use traditional litter boxes when times are lean financially. I line them with heavy-duty trash bags. Real litter liners never seem to fit the pans!

You know you have too many cats when installing a cat door in your laundry room door (it opens into the garage, in which we don't keep a car), so that you can put the litter boxes outside of the living space, is the most exciting thing that's happened to you in the last decade! Seriously, this is the best home improvement project we've done! It's so nice to have a dedicated kitty litter room! I plan to install insulation, wallboard, etc. to keep it warmer for the babies. I also plan to paint it, and have nicer lighting. (We use it as a storage room, too.)

2 cats...a litter box on all three floor levels plus an extra on the middle floor where we spend the most time...never have had a problem...

I have 1 litterbox for 2 cats. We tried 2 boxes but they wouldn't use the second one.

3 floors, 5 cats, 7 litter boxes. What a joy to clean everyday

4 cats and 3 boxes and they are fine with that, but they get scopped 2+ times a day also

That's so funny! I had three cats and one litter box (a very large tupperware container) and I cleaned it out twice a day. Now we have four cats and two boxes. I finally settled on using Feline Pine and I LOVE it. The only thing I have to clean out each day is the solid waste, we drilled holes in a tupperware container and set it inside an identical container, so all the sawdust gets sifted out as the cats scratch around. If your box is small, you might want to keep two boxes, but if you can get one big enough I think it will be fine.

That's what I did. I have a small one bedroom apartment with three cats. I picked up a 36" long (I think) Rubbermaid container to use as a litterbox and I scoop it and add some fresh litter every day.
