Litter boxes - how many?

FranandZoe · ‎03-09-2010

How many cats do you have and how many litter boxes? I had three cats at one time so three litter boxes. Then when one died and I had two cats I still had three litter boxes. (My house is two floors.). Three plus years ago when one of my cats died I kept the three litter boxes. Last cat died, got another still have three litter boxes lol. He uses all three. The funny thing is my stepson has three cats and only one - very large - litter box.

I've always read one more box than the total number of cats. I have two cats and three boxes.

One cat is extremely particular about his routine and likes an empty box each time, so I scoop often. He does one thing in one box and the other in another box. The other cat doesn't care and will use whatever is handy when the mood strikes.

When we had our cat, it was one. I couldn't imagine having litter boxes all over the house like Jackson Galaxy from My Cat from He!! suggests or wants.

We have two cats and a Litter Robot, no litter 'boxes'.

Makes things so much easier.

I don't think I could have cats any more, if I had to do the litter box thing every day. (Been there, done that.)

@Lucky Charm Not familiar with Litter Robot - have to check. I've been doing the litter box literally my whole life - doesn't bother me.

@geezerette I've always read/heard that - one more than the number of cats. My cat does that too - not both things in one box. I scoop often too - keep it clean.

@ID2. Makes it easier for them. And he or she is used to it.

You have to have some room for it. I'd say about 3'x3'x3'.

Our house is rather small, two story, actually one an a half story. I didn't want litter boxes on the main floor and we had a space in a long hall closet upstairs that the water heater is in. So we went for it.

Our daughter had one and once I saw how easy it was to deal with--I was sold. Worth every penny.
