If you have 2 cats, how many litter trays do you have

[chickensaladagain]

My 2 kittens came litter trays, no accidents for the first couple of weeks but I've now started finding wee on clean washing waiting to be put away and the bottoms of curtains where they touch the floor

Never in the same place twice

I'm wondering if one of them is a clean freak?

They do poo in the litter tray and wee sometimes but not consistently

I remove poo as soon as I see it and fully empty and wash it twice a week

I'm planning on changing the type of litter to wood pellets but I'm currently using the same type as they were trained on

Would a second tray make a difference? One each? And should I wait until they are consistent before starting to change?

Well that sounds more positive, chickensalad - so far at least. Let us know how it goes.

I put the old tray in the shed for emergencies such as you describe cozietoesie, I just meant I got rid of it out of the house.

We are lucky enough to live on the edge of a village, well away from any main roads, so it's very safe for cats. We have neighbours, but we all have large gardens and there are fields close by so there is plenty of space for any cats in the vicinity to have large territories.

It was a little bit embarrassing a few years ago when our neighbour was doing some building work & left a pile of building sand right outside his patio doors which was just too tempting for our cat who decided to use it as a toilet . Fortunately when the sand went, the poo problem did too. Fortunately, we are good friends with the neighbours!

There are lots of foxes around here & they are very bold, but I think hope the local rabbit population is easier prey than a couple of healthy, fit cats. I accept that could change as the cats get older, though.

Good stuff, Drama.

I'll admit to being a little worried on the subject of foxes since starting to see the fox population around here in the early hours. One on one, I don't think there would likely be a problem but I suspect that there might be difficulties where a litter of young foxes were sent out to fend for themselves by Mum and were acting in concert. I've certainly noticed that there seem to be no cats around our neighbourhood any more and a number of posters have appeared over the last few months.

Keep 'em in at night is always advisable these days, I think.

Oh golly, that's worrying cozietoesie.

I will be keeping a close eye on my little furry boys, especially as there are lots of young foxes around at this time of year.

I might try locking the cat flap at night, although the constant yowling to go out will keep the whole house awake!

One of our kittens was leaving the odd wee here and there, but since we added another tray there have been no further incidents. Definitely worth a try.

We have 2 covered ones, for our 2 cats. We use Pettex Cleanpaws, which is clumping litter.

Don't have wee accidents, but someone pooed in my shoe the other day.
