LITTER BOX LOCATION

Where should we locate our cat’s litter box in the house?

When selecting a spot for a feline potty, remember four simple rules. Select a spot that is:

  • Quiet

  • Private

  • Easily accessible

  • Away from the area where the cat eats and drinks

As every cat lover knows, felines are intensely proud and private animals, so locating a spot in a loud, bustling area is a sure way to discourage a pet from using her litter box. Another reason why many cats avoid your litter box is because it’s located in an out-of-the- way spot that requires some fancy footwork to enter or leave. Being cautious creatures, cats always feel better when they have a quick escape route. So, they are not going to feel comfortable relieving themselves in an area that makes them feel trapped.
