I have two cats. One is 13 years old and ALWAYS uses the litterbox. The other is a kitten that is about 5 months old. We prefer to keep the litterbox downstairs. The kitten has decided that he doesn't always want to go downstairs to go potty, which I think is odd because he goes downstairs all the time. I've had him go potty in one of the upstair sinks a few times which is annoying, but not a huge deal since I can just turn on the tap and the mess is gone. But now he peed in our bedroom. It was inside of a cube cat toy so I'm thinking maybe he figured since it was covered it was a litterbox. I've picked up the cube and cleaned the carpet underneath it.
We only have one box http://www.cheappetproducts.net/BOOD...UM-P55189.html that is scooped daily and gets a full change/wipe down once a week. I know he still uses the box, because of the amount of poop in there (no way is it just from one cat).
My husband wants to lock him downstairs in the room he lived in during his first week with us. Another option is a second booda dome in an upstairs bathroom (which I really don't want to do). Or a second box downstairs, but I really don't think that's going to change anything since his issue seems to be with him going downstairs to go potty.
Which scenario do you guys think would work out best for him/us?
