My kitten has a litterbox in one of our bathrooms. We use the backbedroom bathroom,so geusts who use the one by the livingroom won't be affended by a litterbox. He willingly goes in his litterbox. I read that Single cats like to have sometimes 2 locations. We have a sm.2bdr apt. We havn't put down
a second one yet because I am still trying to train him to go in the one he has,an am undecided about where to put the second one. Iwant to be sure of the location rather than just putting one somewher,then changing the location on him.....Anyway he has chosen a spot on his own. Its right in the dining nook area between(against the wall)our kitchen and table of our apt. There is no where else to put the dinner table. He has shown interest in it,but I've always been there to take him to his other box instead of goingon the rug in the spot he likes. It would be easier to just put a box in the spot he wants to go in,but this is right under/near where we prepare food and EAT,. Isn't that very unsanitary to have a litterbox in that location? Then I thought if thats what he wants/needs we COULD by one of those carpeted enclosed box thingys that Petmart sells(anyone seen those?),put the litterbox inside that and put some decoration/type plants on/around it to hide it even more. BUt is that really gongi to make it any less sanetary? We may still smell it
even if its clean...and wont that be bad to smell that while we eat??
I also read about putting a litterbox in the diesired spot and slowly move it an inch per day or so untill hes gonig in it in another location,but I've never tried that method,and don't know if it works. If I dont watch him like a hawk,he will go in that spot. I went out today and told my husband spacificaly to watch him,and told him that he will go potty in that spot if he doesn't watch him.And my husband did not watch him and he went poop in that spot which is currently being treated. He will freeroam the pat(with my supervision) and not go anywhere else,but he likes this spot very much.
