Cassie Cat moved in with me when she was 1 1/2. She's 10 now. At first I kept the litter box in the living room corner diagonally across from the television, because she was hiding underneath the sofa. After awhile I put a second box in the bedroom. She eventually stopped using the one in the living room altogether, and now we just have the one in the bedroom. I've heard it said that you should have the same number of litter boxes as you have cats, plus one; but Cassie has just the one, and that works for her.

Have a camera ready - especially if you adopt a kitten; they grow up so fast! (Plus, Pet Talkers NEVER get tired of looking at photos!)

Welcome, kitty!
