It has come to my attention
That Boyfriend has peed in my bath, so I am taking the litter box upstairs
into the bathroom to see if he will use it up there when he is desperate. He will not use it, no way, if it's in the kitchen, apparently and he has pooed three times over the years in the bath. I don't mind too much as it is easily cleaned up but I wish he would just use his lb. |

I bought her a new covered litterbox and she has used it consistently since then, for at least two years! If I had known the problem could be solved so easily, I'd have done it a long time ago. OTOH, I've heard that can be a sign of urinary distress. You might try to catch him at it and see if he seems to be straining. Hopefully, he just prefers the location of the bathroom. Maybe he perceives it as more private and the high sides of the bath make him feel secure or something. Good luck! Sherry |

It's funny. I've had cats for years, and the first I ever heard of this 'rule of thumb' was here a couple of months ago. I've never had more than one litter box, and, with the exception of the time I tried the Breeze System, my cats have always used it. The extra boxes may be necessary for some cats, since all cats are different, but I've certainly never found a need for them. I've had two litterboxes for two cats as long as I can remember. Now I have three cats but still two litterboxes. They usually pee in the bigger one and poo in the smaller one. It seems to work fine. -- Marina, Miranda, Caliban and Viktor.

Sherry --------- I don't think there's anything wrong with him, it only happens if I go to bed early and get up late and he's shut in overnight - and then only 3 poos & 1 wee in all the time I've had him. I can't really grumble, it's easily cleaned. Tweed |

Adrian's Shadow preferred to use the outside, like Boyfriend does and I certainly haven't mentioned to Boyfie anything about "what happened in the bath?" I suspect that Boyfie didn't take the opportunity to go when he was out on an exciting late at night rat patrol, so, rarely, he cannot hold himself until morning. His litterbox is moved to the bathroom. He's a fan of weeing on leaves and earth so that's what has always been in it. I don't think moving his litterbox upstairs to the bathroom will make much difference, unless it's closer to the bath. He only needs to use it in the night, very rarely, and it is equally secret and safe whatever room it is in if I am asleep. Tweed I f |
