Where do you keep your litter box?

Fluffy litter box is in the closet by the front door of our apartment.

I keep both litter boxes in the bath room. This is because all the other rooms in my apartment have wall to wall carpeting.

In my closet. I know it sounds yucky, but it's not that bad and it's the only way my parents will let me have a cat. I scoop it twice (sometimes three times) a day, and I never have a problem with odor. Socks also has a litterbox down in the basement, but she very rarely uses it and it only needs to be scooped every 2 days because she only uses it if she's lounging in the basement and doesn't want to walk all the way upstairs.

(1 kitty has two bathrooms - the 4 humans have 1 bathroom... hmm...)

Gambit's box is in the bathroom. Other than the kitchen it's the only room in the apartment that's not carpeted.

Holy cow, I can't believe how anal you guys are with cleaning your litter boxes. I clean mine once a day, and sometimes I skip a day if it isn't bad. Mind you it's only two cats, so it's not out of control. I keep the box in a decent sized storage closet. It's like a mini-room just for the kitties to mess up.

Since I live with my Grandpa and he's got a free roaming bird Willow and I are stuck in a bedroom. So, I keep her litter box on the side of my bed. it's between the wall and my bed giving her some privacy and keeps it hidden from guest She's a pretty non smelly cat I use just regular litter non clumping......she's not to fond of the clumping!!

We have ours in the attached garage, with a cat door installed in the door between the house and the garage. Very little noise out there, as compared to the laundry room.

I have one ltter box in my bathroom but is as big like 2 boxes , then I have 3 litter boxes in the hallway bathroom , there is one box in my son's room unter his desk and 6 litter boxes in the inclosure for right now . Will @ more when the roofing problem is solved . I scoop at least 2 times a day and clean the boxes a min. of once a week , well maybe more like every 5 day's .
OK now I got a question . With what do you clean the litter boxes ? I clean with Bleach Cleaner and land stand for 3-5 minutes to kill bac. then scrup them and rins with the waterhose very well down . I clean mine outside in the drive way

I have 3 litter boxes and 2 are in the laundry room and the other is in the guest bathroom. All 3 are covered with a filter that is replacable. I use the clumping litter, it's great!

I scoop 2 x's a day and rotating wash every week. No odours at all in my house.

In the spare bathroom bathtub, with cleaning it out daily and lots of air freshners in there. Working fabulous so far.

Unfortunately, we are apartment bound and our bathroom is too small to put a large litter box for our two boyz. So, we have the litter box tucked in a corner of our dining room. I know it sounds gross but it's really not too bad... my hubby found this enclosed litterbox called "Catty Corner" and it's really great!

It's got a tray in the bottom - so all you have to do is lift the tray to sift the clumping litter out, dispose of the "nastys", flip the top to the bottom, replace the tray and pour the remaining litter back in. It's a snap! And odor is to a minimum since it's all enclosed. Plus, since it's shaped like a triangle, it fits nicely in to corner, hence the name "Catty Corner".

I keep mine in our den, and I scoop it out at least once a day. Since my computer is in here with the litter box, it gets scooped more often if anything really smelly happens. Simba scratches like there's no tomorrow, but never actually manages to cover anything up!

I use the clumping litter; I also use litter box liners, and once a week I pull out the bag and start fresh. I tried to use a covered box - Simba was game to try it, but he couldn't figure out how to get the whole way in. So his rear would still be sticking out of the door when he would start to go...I decided it would be much better to have an uncovered box with everything still in the box, than a covered box with nothing actually making it in there.

I use both regular clay (For Kuce) and the clumping low dust kind (For Sphinx due to his allergies)

Kuce's litter is in the bathroon and Sphinx's is in the living room corner.

I, too, live in a small 2 bedroom apartment with my family - luckly the bathroom is big enough for a litterbox.

Every room is carpeted except the bathroom and kitchen so we use newspaper under Sphinx's box for the loose litter that may come out. and I clean them at least 2x a day.

I also use the plastic litterbox liners in both pans.

i keep mine in the bathroom, its closed with a door, plus i used litter crystals so it doesn't smell at all

heres a pic of mickey leaving the toilet:

we have a HUGE kitchen,we keep in there of course it's
away from the table

We've got one in our bedroom(large covered), and the other is squeezed into our bathroom right next to the toilet. I worried that privacy would be an issue with it being in the bathroom and was prepared to move it if needed. Oddly enough Simon likes company. I swear he waits until a human is using the bathroom THEN goes in and does his business talking to whoever is using the facilities.

Hello, I am new to this site. Umm my two kitties are really disgusting. I love them alot and wouldn't give them up for anything, but, what do I do? Am I doing something wrong? In order for them to be sanitary I have to scoop their litter box everytime they go which is about more than 10 times a day! And if i don't get to their poo immediately after they go, then if one of them needs to go again they walk in their poo and then jump all over the furniture and carpet. The younger one, (about 5 months old) plays in the litter box even when there's poo in there. Any suggestions? I've never had indoor cats of my own before and I am extremely confused on why no one talks about their kitties being nasty, and how easy they are to care for. I'd really like some help, as I have a lot of trouble fitting studying into my schedule. It's poo, poo, and more poo. Is my problem that I should have a house instead of an apartment? Sorry this is long..

Thanks,
Jezebel

What kind of food are you giving the kitties? Some foods are less nutritionally dense than others, and the cats have to eat more (and poop more) to get what they need. If you're feeding a grocery store food, you might want to consider switching to a 'premium' food from the pet store - you can ask your vet for a reccommendation. I noticed a big difference in my cats when I switched from cat chow to Science Diet. They poop a lot less, and it doesn't smell as bad.

Also, it's best to have at least one litterbox per cat, and you might want to switch to a type of litter marked 'low tracking' or 'less tracking'. There are even self-cleaning litterboxes on the market - if you can spend the money, you might want to look into getting one of those.

When were these kittens at the vet last? That much poop is not normal under any circumstances unless you are non-stop feeding food that is not good for them. I would get them to the vet to be evaluated. If they are long hair (Persian etc...) you can ask the vet to clip the back hairs for you so they don't get stuff caught there. Kittens routinely will play in a litterbox if they have no other stimulation around- a tall cat post, a perch by a window, cat toys and interaction with you.

Kittens are not nasty, they are fun and challenging and frustrating at times. Chances are these kittens were not with mom long enough to learn about the litterbox. You need more than one litterbox for these kittens and you might think about investing in a self-cleaning one as well. But first and foremost, I would get them both to the vet.
