Cat Forum / General Topics / November 2005Litterbox location?
My daugher got a new kitten a few weeks ago, and the litterbox in hall bathroom is now getting too small. Have to get a larger litterbox, and was wondering where most of you put yours. We don't allow the kitten outdoors at this point in time as she has to be neutered in a few weeks, and is too small to defend herself against the adult cats roaming around this neighborhood. Cheers, -=G We've always put ours in the laundry room under the sink in there. A friend of mine doesn't have a laundry room so she has it in a room where she has her computer and stereo and has it in the corner and bought a decorative screen to put around it (from drsfostersmith.com) "Grumbler" <grumbler@cableone.net> wrote... > Have to get a larger litterbox, and was wondering > where most of you put yours.

One in the spare room that is our computer and storage type room and one in the laundry room. I don't think it matters too much to the cats where they are as long as they know where the box is. Neither of our boxes are really big. 12X15 inches and with covers. > My daugher got a new kitten a few weeks ago, > and the litterbox in hall bathroom is now getting [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Cheers, > -=G >> 12X15 inches and with covers. We had the covered litterboxes as well but did away with the covers as they trap the odor in and our oldest cat refused to use them. We read somewhere that it is better to let the air flow over the boxes helping the odor to disappear BTB > We have two boxes.

I have two litter boxes in a hall bathroom (powder room). There's a pedistal sink with a box on either side. Matilda, when not "going" outside, poops in one and pees in the other. > We don't allow the kitten outdoors at this point in > time as she has to be neutered in a few weeks, and [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Cheers, > -=G I put my cat's box in the bathtub. This way, there is less scatter to clean and I don't have to worry about her number one getting all over the floor. I also use the cat litter which resembles sand, so if some of it winds up in the bathtub it will easily go down the drain when I remove the box from the tub and turn the shower on. >I put my cat's box in the bathtub.

As long as the cat / kitten can make it in and out of the tub by itself !! sure hope you don't have a septic system! yow! >I put my cat's box in the bathtub.

Actually I was wondering about the effect of clumping litter on a septic system... any clues ? Straight clay of course means you're just pumping gravel into your system; that's why most litters say "don't flush". We just had to have a new septic tank put in and a new field dug out. Our septic person said it was because we were flushing both clumping and regular litter. No way will be do that again, its a very very expensive mistake. You might not find a problem for several years. >We don't allow the kitten outdoors at this point in >time as she has to be neutered in a few weeks, and >is too small to defend herself against the adult cats >roaming around this neighborhood. A female cat is not neutered. She is spayed. > A female cat is not neutered. She is spayed. Right, spayed. What was I thinking? ;^) -=G |
