I'm looking at adopting my first kitten in the next few weeks. My plan is to have a little "safe area" set up our family room/basement and would ideally like to aim for the litterbox to eventually be in an small, adjacent storage room to this safe area once the kitten is litter trained -- that way hopefully helping to cut down on the litterbox smell that my boyfriend hates. To do this I want to install a cat flap in the storage room door.
Can a kitten be easily trained to use a cat flap? Is a kitten strong enough to push open a cat flap? I have no experience with cat flaps so I don't know how heavy or thick they are.
In addition, from your experience is one litterbox usually sufficient for a single cat? We have a two-level house and I'm not sure where I'd put a second litterbox if need be on the first floor.
