. They are truly...

If you have more than one cat, you need more than one box. One popular theory about how many litter boxes you need to offer is “one box for each cat, plus one for the house.” The boxes should be placed in various locations and they should never be right near one another, in order to best accommodate different personalities and elimination habits of your cats. In addition, use a different kind of litter in at least one of the boxes so that if a cat has an aversion to the main litter, he or she will have the option to go somewhere more appealing. |
I have two cats and two litter boxes, which are adjacent in the bathroom. I live in a small one-bedroom apartment, and this is the only viable solution. I also use one type of litter for both. Luckily, this arrangement works O.K. for my cats.
I really commend you for offering two boxes in your limited space- it’s generous and wise, because you are going to avoid out-of-litter-box problems that once they begin, are pretty hard to “stuff back in the box”! So while you’ve given up some precious square feet of your own limited real estate for those kitty cats, you’ve made their life more clean and comfortable – and ultimately your own. Well Done!
