I live in a 2 story house with a basement. I can't really have the litter box on the main or top floor, but I'm afraid my 5 month old cat isn't going to want to make the trip to the basement if he's on the top floor. Right now the box is in my bedroom, which is undesirable to me for obvious reasons. And my roommates don't want the litter box on the main floor because there isnt anywhere discreet to put it.
Does anyone think there would be a problem with just putting the box in the basement and showing him where it is and encouraging him to go down there when i know he's going to need to take a poo? Or should I ease him into it by putting it on the main floor for awhile, then moving it to the basement later?
We had a bad experience with our last kitten who peed everywhere but in her litter box when she was here. So, I am paranoid about my new kitten.
