Where do you put your cat's litter box? - Page 2

I recommend two litter "stations".

Each station can hold 2-3 litter boxes, with an alternate location to avoid issues in multi-cat homes.

I recommend using a closet. The doors comes off the hinges very easily, and the doors themselves are paper thin material that is very easy to cut.

Grab a jigsaw and you can install a cheap cat door in one (about $15 online) and you have a clean look with any odor contained in the closet rather than your whole house.

Ours is in the laundry room, right off the kitchen. As long as we keep up on the scooping, there is no odor at all. She does just fine with one box, we have never had a problem with her going out of her box.

(ignore the jeans in the laundry tub, we're doing laundry atm)

One downstairs, in the master bathtub, and two upstairs, one in the bathroom, and one in the "cat's room", inside the closet, but we keep the doors open somewhat. We probably should have more boxes (according to the "rules"), but so far 3 has worked out just fine. Half the time, at least one will be empty when it's time to scoop them.

Two cats. Two litter boxes, side by side in the basement under the slop sink. Boxes get scooped daily. Seems to satisfy both cats and humans.

I use a plastic scraper - used for smoothing sheet rock joint compound seams - to loosen urine clumps from bottom of pan, then lift with a slotted scoop designed for the purpose.

I put mine in the bathroom, but it kind of stinks up the house.

We have four litterboxes and am looking for a fifth. Three boxes are in the bathroom. The fourth one is a carpeted bench with the litter box inside (Foster and Smith) and that one is in the kitchen next to the French door....the cats love to lie there to watch the birds and bugs outside. Our fifth one will either go next to the hutch in the kitchen (and when company comes, we'll put it in the bedroom) or in the bedroom.

We have six cats and four litterboxes, so I am constantly scooping.

I have two closets, that hold two litterboxes each, with a cat door for entrance which keeps any odors contained and the boxes out of sight (door propped open w/ tape at first until kitties got used to the idea of the entrance for a few weeks, now its closed after I taught them how to use it using treats).

yes.. at the moment one box in cat room and one in bathroom get used daily other one in living room get used a few times a week
