mylunalove, I keep 3 full-time litterboxes in the house, one is large, about 48" x 24" and is about 4" deep. All of them have wheels on them with a pull rope. Since I live in a very rural area of central Calif., all of my furkids have access to the outside, and there is plenty of room for all of them. There are only a few that will naturally stay in the house with me, while the others prefer to stay outside, in their several cat shelters I have made for them. Some of them are on the roof under the eaves while others are mounted on the side of this little dwelling behind the trees, and are up high for safety reasons. Spaying and neutering is on the agenda for this year, and especially for those who live in the home with me. Before I became familiar with Pet Talk I kept cats for utilitarian purposes only because of the mice, rats, snakes, and gophers around the area. But now that the education factor is being enlightened for me concerning them, I am appreciating my furkids more as an intimate companion rather than a utilitarian animal.
Since my first visit to an SPCA animal shelter a couple of weeks ago,Ii realize now that "my cats are not the only ones"around! Yet the nearest shelter is nearly 40 miles away in western Visalia. I saw a few cats that I would like to have brought home with me, but I have so many now. So, when I can find homes for some of those that I currently have now, I must forceably restrain myself from taking on more sheltered animals!
BTW, no longer have I posted this problem with the several queens than it has ceased to be a difficulty! I cannot explain their behavior.
