Indoor Cat Owners/Lovers

[Midnight Marauder]

Hey, a question for y'all.


If you have an indoor cat, where do you keep the litter box? If you have more than one cat, do you have a box for each one?


Anyone use cat doors? We installed one to the garage but can't get the cats to use it yet to go potty in their boxes, so we have them in the study for now.


Thanks for any help/suggestions!

Use this litter, and it won't matter where the boxes are. I have 8 cats in the house, no odors whatsoever.

Swheat Scoop Natural Wheat Litter

Here's the cats:

So is that stuff flush able? The normal clumping stuff is very bad for your pipes and you should not flush it at all.

It is flushable. But makes much better mulch.

LOL, I've seen the training kits for training them to go on the toilet. They are interesting. LOL, even though it may be ideal for some people, I just couldn't do it. What if they made a "boo boo" and hit the seat? Nooooo, not for me! lol Plus their paws are not always clean.

a friend trained both of her cats to use the toilet...really isnt that hard to do...

You let rodents, er... I mean cats, come inside your house?

You allow dogs to piss on your furniture

We have 3 cats and two boxes. One is upstairs in the "cat closet" with a cat door and the other is in the basement, also with a cat door so we can leave the main basement door closed.
I change the litter every three days.

It works better to have 2 (they pee in one and poop in the other) litter boxes per cat. We keep one in the laundry room and one in the downstairs bathroom. Before we lost Peeve there were four litter boxes in the same locations.

Office kitty has been indoors since day 1. About 6 years now. Litter box in storage room.
It's shedding season. My quarterly reports usually go out with a cat hair or two LOL.

And don't forget, every pet owners ensemble isn't complete without pet hair.

Litter box is in the guest bedroom, when we have a guest we move the littler box to the study

Thought you were going to say you dont change the litter to get the guests to leave sooner

I keep two of these at the ready. Plus, a shop vac for underneath the desk.

6 indoor cats. One litter box in the bathroom. I usualy stays in the bathroom but at times moves around.

The best way i have found to train a cat where the litter box is, is to lock them in that room for a few days. They know where it is and move on to explore the rest of the house... the letterbox being their base so to speak.

As to the cat door... i would just let them go through the open hole without the door for a month or so to get them used to the idea of going though the hole first...and then put a piece of plastic wrap to push through...and then put the door on.

Worked for me.... now I wish I would have never put the damn thing in.

The indoor cats stay in and the one I love the most stays outside
(They just stopped using it)


J/K, I love them all.

Two? I have a warehouse full, it's restocked once a month and we have short hairs!

Ditto. Hair everywhere here. 4 dogs, 1 cat.
Concerning the doggy/kitty door, I just put it in and where the dogs go, cat goes. Didn't stop her at all. No litter box either. If it is raining outside, she will run to the tree and dig a hole for poo...but if she only has to pee, she squats over the drain hole in the shower so we all keep the shower sliding doors cracked for her when the weatherman says showers on their way.

I went to my daughter's house last weekend and of course the little dog kept jumping on my lap. We were getting ready to go out and I noticed pet hair all over my dark jeans.

They keep their house very clean but she loves her animals so it's the price you pay.
