I got a weird problem involving both of my cats (Siegfrieda, to the left; Kika, to the right).
Kika is rather particular about having her own litterbox(es), and refuses to use a litterbox shared by another cat. Frieda on the other hand is adept to the “if I fits, I sits, I shits” philosophy, and is totally OK sharing litterboxes.
That creates a problem: no matter if properly and regularly cleaned, the only one using litterboxes here is Frieda. We had, like, five of them at once; and Kika would still rather do her business on the patio.
How do I either teach Kika “it’s fine to share a litterbox”, or teach Siegfrieda “that’s Kika’s litterbox, leave it alone”?
When you find out, please please let me know. I have three cats, five litter boxes, and still everyday the one shits on the floor beside the box. I’m actually happy to clean up the poop because about every third day she also pees beside the box which is much worse.
Probably a dumb suggestion but… I know you can get cat feeders that will detect your cat’s microchip and only let them in. I wonder if you could get a litterbox that uses similar tech to only open for Kika?
