Did you know that litter boxes can have an important effect on the health and behavior of your kitty? Litter box maintenance, location, and even how many litter boxes a cat has access to, can all have an important influence on your pet’s elimination habits.

As a rule of thumb, the number of litter boxes should be N+1, meaning if you have N=2 cats, you will need N+1 litter boxes or 3 litter boxes. Investing in an extra litter box is a better idea than having to deal with your pet’s elimination problems and other undesirable behaviors associated with litter box problems.

Make sure that litter boxes are placed in various strategic spots around the house so each of your cats won’t have any problems reaching it and doing their business.

Any changes in your pet’s potty habits should be brought to the attention of your Aurora, CO vet. To know more, click here.
