Location of Litter Box

Location, location, location. Just like in real estate where you place your cat's litter box can be of utmost importance. Put the litter box in the wrong spot and your cat may not use it.


Cats like privacy when doing their business so place the litter box in a quiet out of the way spot, somewhere where small children or other pets won't distrub them.

If cats get scared when using the litter box they may not go back there and find another spot to do their business.

If you place the litter box in the basement don't put it next to the furnace. If the furnace should kick on when your cat is using it, the noise could frighten her and she won't use it again.

If your cat stops using her litter box try changing the location of the litter box. If that doesn't work try changing the type or brand of cat litter.

Be sure to clean the litter box daily as cat's don't like to use dirty litter boxes.
