I had to say "other". My options are rather limited since I live in an apartment. I keep one box in the laundry room, which is just off of the kitchen area and the other is in my bedroom. I have been thinking of moving it into the office/guest room.... but I hate to make it more inconvenient for 18 year old Tabitha. She uses the one in the bedroom most often. She can get off of the bed, go to the bathroom, and get right back to her kitty cat dreams!
Five in the back room, now called the cat room, but supposed to be my beading studio!
Two in the laundry room
One in our bedroom
One in the computer room
Two in the living room
One in the porch
I keep all four in the living room. Three are on one side and the other one is on the opposite side.
In the dining room, but we don't eat in there, it's more of a computer room than it is a dining room.
2 in the basement.
2 in the bedrooms.
2 in the bathroom.
2 on the porch, in the summertime.
And more coming as thats not enough boxes.
3 different types, 1-underbed storage box, 1- deep traditional cat box, 1-shallow cat box. all are daily at least, scraped. sometimes twice a day. but all in the basement
My cats have a litterbox room. It's like an extra large water heater closet in the garage that they can access through a pet door in the laundry room. I have 6 boxes in there for them. The people we bought the house from made the room for their three cats. It was great for keeping my dog Disney out of the boxes since she thought they were the snack bar.
I also keep one in the garage for Ripley. He likes his "alone" time out there.
I tried different things where I live now. First I had all the boxes on the 3rd floor, this was before I had the foster cats. Well, it got hotter than heck up there and someone insisted on peeing outside the box which just made it even worse.
So... moved them to the basement. That worked for a while. But then some of them decided "Hey! I'm going to pee against the wall and on the cement floor!" I have an unfinished basement, and this was NOT working for me. Smelly damp cement, icky!!! And the boxes were scooped every day to every other day, and there were 4-5 cats and 6-8 boxes.
Closed the basement door and moved boxes upstairs. One is in the kitchen because foster cat Furbee practically lives in there and is scared of everyone else, so her potty is kept in there for her. Otherwise she poops on the floor. She's also one of my pee-ers, and I'm trying to remedy that. It's been better since I moved the box in there for her.
I moved the other boxes up to my spare room that is like an ironing room. I put my old roller shades on the floor underneath the boxes and have 5 boxes up there at the moment. I want to get some others up there, but I need to clean up where Honeybun has been pooping. I think it's him anyway. Could be one of the other wackjobs that I have that pooped outside the box in the basement too (I didn't have Honey then, so it's possible).
Too many litter box issues. It drives me nuts.
The fosters upstairs have 2-3 boxes in each room. They are good boys and do not poop or pee outside of the boxes. I'm thinking of keeping them and adopting out my guys! :eek: :p (j/k... wouldn't do that.. just frustrated!)
I have 7 in the basement and 1 in the laundry room. The one in the laundry room was set up for Scarlet but now everyone knows where it is so it has become a community box. :rolleyes:
I've placed litterboxes in the basement and they all use them. But I have one extra in the guest room for Puddy only plus her food and water because she sleeps upstairs away from the other cats so that I can keep an eye on her. Ya never know when she's gonna suddenly get sick plus Coco Puff picks on her. If he does that during the night, I have to run downstairs and break it up. No. Easier to keep a litterbox in the guest room. That's until my son comes home for a visit. Then it goes in the other guest room.
We have one on our sunporch and another in the dining room for now; my husband still has his trains up from Christmas in the great room and that's where the other usually goes. They are both in the far corners, for privacy. ;)
2 in the living room (hidden by 2 huge plants)
1 in the kitchen
1 in the cat's bedroom
It's in the bedroom. There is a little niche between the dresser and the closet wall. When she first came home I had one for her in the farthest corner of the living room (sort of behind the sofa) and the one in the bedroom. She gradually stopped using the one in the living room.
I voted, "other", because Butter NEVER uses the litterbox that has been sitting in the upstairs bathroom for ages (since Mimi was here). I finally gave Helen permission to take it out of her bathroom, this past Saturday, since it had not been used since July 2006. No litterbox in my house. But, I have an indoor/outdoor kitty, with Butter, who definitely prefers to do his business outdoors.
I have two boxes in the laundry/utility room and three boxes in the Florida room. I took an idea from Jazzcat's "litterbox room" and added a cat flap to the laundry room door that leads outside to the Florida room. The boxes themselves are huge Rubbermaid storage containers.
I am thinking about just putting all of the boxes outside since they spend so much time there and this keeps the litter out of the main house. I also do not like to walk barefoot into the laundry room and get litter on my feet! ;)
