Boscibo,

What a great idea!! I use carpet remnants under each box. They're alot cheaper. Hanna is so cute!

Rachel,

The rule of thumb is one box for each cat. Now I have 6 cats. They don't automatically choose their own box. They all use them. When I first got to Michigan, before my furniture was delivered, I was in a small bedroom with only 2 boxes and my six cats. It worked out fine. But I'd rather have enough for all of them. I used to use 6 for 6. Since I've moved, I only have 4 now. As long as I scoop them everyday, which I do, and I have an air purifier in the kitty room, there's no problem.

I have seen the pieces of furniture that enclose the box and they're very nice if you have the room. But my cats have their own room so I chose to put the boxes in there.
