How Many Litter Boxes?
So how many litter boxes do you need? Data says that you should have as many litter boxes as you have cats. In this way none of your cats will be prevented from using the litter box if one of them is already occupied. It is also recommended that you place at least one litter box on each level of your house. Some cats do not like using a litter box after another cat has used it. Some breeds like long-haired cats seem to be pickier about using the litter box after other cats. How many do I have? I have one litter box for my multi-cat home. I have used one litter box ever since I have had cats. But I don’t use a conventional litter pan, they are much too small, I use a very large storage bin for a litter box (easily purchased from Wal-Mart). Though I have had some runabouts with my cats thinking “outside of the box” I have always been able to encourage them to go back to the large litter bin with success. If I needed to have more than one litter box to satisfy my cats eliminating needs, than I would defiantly have more than one.
