Hello. I am new to The Cat Site. My name is Nikki and I have one cat and two dogs. My cat's name is Callie, she is a mixed breed, short haired cat. One of my dogs is a pomeranian, his name is Harley. My other dog's name is Peach and she is a American Pit bull. My question that I would like to ask is can you move a kitten's liter box? I have had Callie for like a month and had her liter box in the bathroom, where she slept for like a week or so. Now I would like to move it. I had to put her in the bathroom at night so that her and Harley could get use to each other. Please help!! Thanks, Nikki

Hi Nikki,

Welcome to the site! I'm new here as well and have enjoyed getting to know everyone in the last couple of days.

I think the answer to your question is yes, you can move the litter tray. I wouldn't move it all in one go though. I would gradually move it from where it is now to the new place - just moving it a little bit every few days.

I hope some of the others come up with some other suggestions for you, but I have successful moved litter trays in this way in the past.

Welcome to the cat site! It's great here! My name is Heather and I have two cats, Maddie & Tybalt. We've moved out litter boxes before and they do fine with it. I would just move it, and constantly show him(or is it her?) where the new spot is. Happy posting!

Welcome! Got pics? We'd love to see your babies!

I've moved the litter box around before and Peaches has done fine. I just have to show her where it is!

Welcome to the site! Honestly, pit bulls are one of my favorite breeds of dogs, they are so friendly and loyal and have just gotten a really bad rap from the media.

In answer to your question, yes you can definitely move the litterbox. Depending on how well Callie is adjusted to your home, you *could* try just moving it, but if she's nervous at all you may find some accidents. Personally, I would take Daisy's advice and move it little bits each day until it's in the preferred place, so it isn't too much of a change all at once for your kitty.

Hi! Welcome to the site


I can attest to moving the litterbox a little at a time- I tried to move my kitties' box from one room to another all at once and even though I showed them where it was, my kitty Gibbons decided he didn't like the change and peed all over my clean laundry
I ended up moving it about 4 feet a day over the span of a week , and he was fine with that. Good luck

hi, Nickii. Yes you can moce the litter box. I might say an easier way than calling Callie a x breed would be to call her a dsh (domestic Shorthair).
