Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / August 2004looking for about a 22x22 litterbox
any ideas on where to find a plastic container thats 22"x22+? (we can go up to 22x30 or so) suitable for a litterbox? we're adding an extra member to the family shortly and would like to expand the bathroom :). thanks! > any ideas on where to find a plastic container thats 22"x22+?

Try looking at rubbermaid storage containers. Rather than getting a bigger litter box, it would be better to get one or two additional boxes. Many cats don't like to share. I have three boxes for two cats. ---MIKE--- I personally use an ordinary child's wading pool, that you can get at Wal-Mart. now is the perfect time to get one as they are on clearance. that being said, you might have problems with one litter box, as a lot of cats are fussy and don't want to walk over someone else's mess to do their duty, and might find your bed or the rug acceptable. I'd wait and see how the two get along before asking them to use a communal restroom. > any ideas on where to find a plastic container thats 22"x22+?

Listen up, a.shole. If you actually killed that cat you are no better than the boys who killed the six puppies with the firecrackers. If you were trying to get a rise out of us, it's not funny and you are still an a.shole. My first instincts about you appear to have been right, in either case. It's coming back at you, boy. But you know that's how it works. Good luck with that. I hope you're ready for the next thing that wants in through the screen door. top post: uhhh mary, you responded to the wrong thread and the wrong post. the troll will never see your response. >> > > just the location where we have the box now (under >> > >the stairs to the second floor) has enough room for a larger box.

I responded to the first place I saw this a.shole posting this morning--because he had conveniently sidestepped the questions about whether or not he killed this cat. But thank you for your concern. :'') >> top post: >> uhhh mary, you responded to the wrong thread and the wrong post. the [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > the questions about whether or not he killed this cat. But thank you for > your concern. :'') actually you responded to and quoted me, which is why you got my attention. the guy who wrote about killing a cat was RobZip and has not posted to this thread. I'm Rob without the Zip, and while I might indeed be an a.shole it has nothing to do with being mean to cats or other animals :). My 3, soon to be 4 cats are my family and are treated as such (actually in many cases they are probably treated better than my human family :)). > actually you responded to and quoted me, which is why you got my attention. the guy who wrote about killing a cat was RobZip and has not posted to this > thread. Oops. Sorry. :) hmm, no luck at finding them online at those stores. ill try google. >> just the location where we have the box now (under >>the stairs to the second floor) has enough room for a larger box. > > They sell dog litter boxes this size at Petco and PetsMart. > its actually the four :). three of them share one box now, we're adding a > kitten. we're only in a 4 room apartment, so we're pretty limited on space > for an additional box. just the location where we have the box now (under > the stairs to the second floor) has enough room for a larger box. You will definitely want at least two boxes with four cats. I have three cats in a one bedroom and have two boxes. I put an office mat down in the corner of the bedroom and put one box there with a privacy screen and keep it very clean. The other is in the bathroom. Visitors have to deal with it, but again, I keep it very clean. I would sure want two. I got a bigger litterbox from Petsmart to use as I now have 3 cats in the household. They have no problems sharing it. It is a bit deeper than the one being used before. I wanted a bigger one but this was the largest that they had. > I personally use an ordinary child's wading pool, that you can get at > Wal-Mart. now is the perfect time to get one as they are on clearance.

I use a mortar-mixing tray from Home Depot, which is 26" x 19" and 6" deep, and very sturdy plastic like a litterbox. I think it cost about five dollars. The sides slope out from the bottom, which solved the problem of one cat backing up to the end or corner of the box, and managing to pee over the edge half the time. Before, I had the litterbox inside a plastic storage box, but it was very messy to clean up the escaped pee in the outer box (storage boxes aren't really made sturdy enough any more to use by themselves for long). With the angle of the sides of the mortar tray, he can back up his feet to the edge and still pee inside the box.  Signaturejamie (jamiemck@newsguy.com) "There's a seeker born every minute." |
