so as of right now i have isabel and 3 of her 14 week old kittens. 2 of them are permanent residents of mine and the other one will most likely be, she is supposed to go to a friend of mine, but right now i am charging him kitty rent bc he has to move out of his parents house before he can take her, and this could be a while. lol.
anyway! so right now i am useing one of those big under the bed boxes by rubbermaid as their litter box. and the size isnt really the problem. they all have no problem using the same box, its practically big enough to be 3 normal litter boxes anyway, but the problem is mainly w/their momma isabel, but they have a slight problem with it as well. they kick litter out of the box constantly!!!!!!!! i find myself sweeping literally 10 times a day, if not more, and i find litter EVERYWHERE in the bathroom!! how they got it on the part BEHIND the toliet seat is beyond me. but its driving me insaine.
i've tried putting rugs around the litter box, that hasnt worked very well bc when they jump out they still get litter beyond the rugs. and then i tried taping cardboard around 3 sides to make the sides taller...this sort of worked... they ended up pushing the side that wasnt against a wall over and would lay on it on top of all the litter! :evil: it was cute but oh so frustrating. so the other two pieces have worked well in keeping the liter from getting in that crease between the box and the wall but other than that i am still sweeping litter up from everywhere!!!!
so i am thinking of getting a covered litter box.. probably end up getting 2 since i essentially have 4 cats
any suggestions on what type to get? and where to get it at? i am going to go to pet smart tonight bc they seem to have the best selection. but they are pricey
but god at this point i think it will be worth it. i am so sick of not being abel to walk barefooted in my bathroom w/o sweeping first! i think i will need a really big covered one bc isabel like a roomy litter box.. for such a small cat.. well maybe not that small.. shes 9lbs, she takes up a lot of room!! lol.
