Just like in actual estate where location is crucial, so it is for your cat's litter boxes.
Here's some ideas and tips on how to effectively locate them for nice cat litter box habits :
When you think about cat litter box placement, imagine if it is a place where you'd like to do your business. They humans usually cherish a calm and private location. Your cat is not
much different. She'd like her cat litter boxes placed where they can feel safe while voiding. When animals eliminate, this is a vulnerable time for them, and if your cat doesn't feel safe and comfortable, she'll find her own location to fulfill this need.
Depending on the cat's age and mobility, an ideal litter box location is someplace where humans don't tread constantly. Take a glance around your house and think about this as you ponder locations. Some ideal places are your basement, rarely-used bathrooms, and bigger closets.
In case you have a room that doesn't get much traffic and won't let the odors waft all through the house, then set up a litter box in that location.
If a relatives member's bedroom will work (assuming that person won't be jarred awake at three AM when kitty is busy digging a hole to China to bury her output!), use that as well.
Lots of felines prefer to have a cat litter box near their favourite "hang outs." This way, they don't must go far when nature calls.
The most desirable location will be calm, secluded, and afford kitty the luxury of time and the feeling of safety to properly eliminate in her cat litter box.
Sometimes your cat will pick a location for you. In my home, my kitty Scout prefers the cat litter box in the exercise room in lieu of the in the basement (which would be my first choice) and another in a nook off the kitchen.
But they doesn't like those locations as well, so it is critical that I keep that cat litter box up to her standards - neat, no deposits left over from her brother JJ, and leaving the door open - even when I am using the exercise bicycle or the cross trainer! If I forget any of these things, they lets me in the most direct way feasible - by not using a litter box when they needs to eliminate.
If there was ever a case where felines have staffers and hired help, I am living proof! So take a hint from your cat...try to accomodate her preferred location for successful, consistent
cat litter box usage.
