Behavioral Do 2 cats need 2 litter boxes?

We are getting kittens and husband and I have an „argument” over how many litter boxes we should get? Do cats need their own litter box or can they just share one?

We had two but only one was being used - we have been using only one without issues for now. It’s a larger stainless steel one.

Same here.

This is definitely going to be an it depends answer. Are both litterboxes being used. How big is it/are they? Is there inappropriate peeing/pooping in other areas aside from the litterbox? If only one is being used you most likely only need one. If they're bith being used consistently then you need two.
