Hello all,
I have two of the most perfect kittens alive- they play nice, don't scratch the furniture, me, or each other. They stay off the counters, sleep all night every night, eat all their food, purr if I so much as blink at them, AND tolerate nail trimmings and trips to the vet with minimal fussing. They also gallop around like they're running the Kentucky Derby but somehow they're even polite about that. In fact, it's freaky how well-behaved these boys are.
That being said, they're hellbent on sharing a single litter box. I have two set up in their room- they have a cat room with two cat trees, a pile of toys, two litter boxes, food, and water. I have one litter box against a wall and the second one (slightly smaller) in a corner with the hope they'd each have one. I've tried putting the same litter in both, kitten attract litter in the one they don't use, a mix of litters in both, a mix of litters in the one box they use, etc. They both continuously use the same box. I'd like to get them used to separate litter boxes to avoid future territory disputes while making it more sanitary for me to clean.
Any suggestions to help me convince these otherwise perfect kittens they each have their own bathroom? Thanks!
