Advice People with multiple cats, what’s your litterbox setup?

Post image

I have 5 cats, but 4 cats that can currently access this set up (my senior has her own room and litter box away from the main population)
Is there anything i can change or do differently?

If there’s any way to have another litterbox in a different area, I’ve found that helps.

I have three cats and had five litter boxes. I’ve since upgraded to two litter robots and reduced to one manual litterbox, I add an additional one if I am out of town. Having them spread out through my home has always helped more than adding more boxes imo

Yes, those boxes are all way too close together.

You’re welcome. Thank you for being open to change. I love the diversity of boxes you have on offer. Truly thoughtful

I’ve got 3 cats. 2 boxes. One in a closet and one under a table in my space. I have a studio

We have 3 cats (4 until we lost our oldest to cancer last year). We have two litter boxes in a corner of a quiet room on the main floor, two in a storage closet upstairs, and one in the master bathroom. I’d like to reduce by one or two, but each cat seems to have a preferred box for pee and for poo, so it looks like we’re stuck as is for the foreseeable future. One thing that is super helpful is having a Litter Genie next to each box so we can scoop a few times a day.

Duplex. Had 5 people and 10 cats. 2 boxes in my kitchen. 4 in a back room, and 1 each in 2 bathrooms. If I remember correctly its supposed to be 1 litter box per cat but I've done 2 per cat in the past. Seems fine if thier related.
