The litter box should be in an easily accessible location. Some cats prefer uncovered litter boxes while others prefer covered ones and some cats show no preference. One possible problem with covered litter boxes is that caregivers may forget to clean or scoop the box since you cannot see or smell it. There are many different types of litter available and cats will show individual preferences. Most cats do prefer the scoopable sand type litter if given a choice.
Most people recommend having one more litter box than there are cats in the household.
They should be placed in different easily accessible locations. Provide appropriate scratching areas Cats use their paws to scent mark and visually mark by scratching different surfaces as a form of communication. If appropriate surfaces are not provided, the cat will find things like the sofa or curtains to carry out this behavior. It is important to provide cats with appropriate, attractive objects to scratch. Scratching posts should be placed in prominent locations to encourage their use.
