Litter Box frustrations here - BULLY Cats

[catnapper]

Sounds like the kitties are trying to tell you that they want their toilets back upstairs!

I tried to move my boxes to where it was convenient for me, but the cats had other ideas. After months of picking up messes in the office, I put the box back in there. I am about to add a box to Cameron's room, which I never wanted to do, but after finding pee on a few items, I think I need to do that too.

We humans.... one toilet and there were 5 of us living here when all the kids were home. We learned to share nicely. Why can't the cats?

We have the same problem, Boots is getting bullied by Boo Boo and Bailey. To make it worst if they look at her she screems.Before Boo Boo Boots was chased by Lenny, Roz, and Egypt, since Boo Boo has been there they have stopped. Baily (12 year old Munchkin) is nick named the "grumpy old man" and will take a swip at almost every one. By luck he is a declaw. By the way he realy hates Chessie. Sorry but it is kind of fun whatching the boxing as both are declaws.
As to the pee and poop. We find it in front of the basement door, they are not alowed there, the front door, the door to the TV room and in the bathroom NEXT to a litter box. The poop can be found almost any where. The worst place in under the head of the bed. So every once in a while we lay down just to get up move the bed and clean at midnight.
With 20 in the house there is always some thing going on.

HE hee, I have wondered if they want the boxes back up here. Those floors take a beating with the litter, though. And yes, would be nice i they could share nicely.

I love watching all the interactions, but 10 is my limit!

Thank you everyone, I'll keep all these ideas in mind. Had a box in my bedroom for years, not an issue for me. It is the hardwood floors I want to protect now that I had them all refinished.

Your post prompted me to put the box in Cam's room like I had been dragging my feet on. He got to go with me to buy the supplies.... do you know how seriously he took the porocess of picking out a litter scoop? Of course it was christened within 5 minutes

I seriously think I would consider putting an inexpensive screen door (you can get a wooden screen door for little or nothing at Lowe's or Home Depot) on your bedroom door opening with a simple latch for the inside and outside, and make that Mandy's room, complete with litter box, food and water, along with whatever else makes her happy. The others wouldn't be able to get to her, but it would be better than having to close a solid door all the time and you would still get good airflow through your house. Plus they could see each other and it wouldn't be nearly as much trouble as stacking and unstacking wooden gates every time you needed to go in and out. Sounds like she deserves some special attention right now.
I have found that the litter boxes with the raised edges on them work very well for containing the litter without having to go to a completely covered box or there are ideas for converting a tall Rubbermaid container to a litter box so that the litter doesn't get scattered all over.
Hope you can get it worked out.
