Cat Forum / General Topics / November 2003toilet problems
We have a cat about 9 yrs old who recently refuses to use the kitty litter box. This has been going on for about 3 months. We have 3 cats but only 2 litter boxes. Think maybe another litter box would help. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Dave and Joyce Think about it! Would you like someone watching you do your business? Like us, cats have different personality's and while some of us wouldn't really Mind not having privacy, some of us would. I believe another litter box is an excellant idea. That way kitty can have privacy! If just a litter box with no hood doesn't work, maybe one with a hood might be just what kitty wants. If all this fails, maybe it's a case of something medically wrong, VET TIME!!!!!!!-----Perky1 > We have a cat about 9 yrs old who recently refuses to use > the kitty litter box.

A vet check and urinalysis couldn't hurt either. George had and has litter box problems when he gets very stressed out as well (ie. h0p has a seizure and comes home yeowling and wal;king around drunkenly). The placement of another litter box in the part of the house where he likes to hang out helped alot. We put it exactly where he was having his "misses." Dee With three cats, you should have four litter boxes. I have three boxes for two cats and always scoop the boxes as soon as I see they have been used. -MIKE I use a self-cleaning litter maid...just one for three cats... so far no problems > We have a cat about 9 yrs old who recently refuses to use > the kitty litter box.

We have 7 cats, and have been thinking about getting a few of the self-cleaning litter boxes. We're just not sure if they're worth the money. > I use a self-cleaning litter maid...just one for three cats... > > so far no problems My opinion? Yes very much... the first one I had unfortunately lasted only a year with just one cat...but since then they have improved the motors.. the one I have now I have had for 4 1/2 years (three of those years with just one cat...then I added a second cat a year and a half ago...and now have new kitten as well...It still is running fine) I re-use the plastic container until they really start to deterorate and break) and then replace them It helps cut down on the smell and looks cleaner (I have the tent with it) with the one cat I was emptying it once a week with two cats twice a week now about three times a week With seven cats Im not sure if just two would do it...I would probably go with three.... But If "I"had 7 cats would "I" get them? YES I would not hestitate.....I have been that pleased since they improved the motors... Still only my opinion though > Are those self-cleaning things worth the money? We have 7 cats, and have > been thinking about getting a few of the self-cleaning litter boxes.
