Where do you keep your catbox?

in my basement, and i scoop it about once every three days. if you’re not lucky enough to have a basement I used my spare bedroom. This way it’s away from everything.

I have three cats and two boxes and I scoop daily. I keep them near my two bathrooms.

instert vagina joke here

Ours is in the basement. It gets cleaned every three or four days. I don’t scoop. I empty and refill.

I keep it right between my washer and dryer. My cat likes her privacy, the dainty little fucker.

I keep my pussycat’s box in the hallway, in a dead-end of it.
I scoop every 2 to 3 days, empty and refill (little clay-thingies) it every week.
She also pukes there….

In the laundry room with the washer and dryer.

Clean every couple of days with a big slotted spatchula originally designed for cooking french fries.

Yeah in the catbox, in the catbox, i do my little turn in the catbox. .

Beside the toilet, scoop and flush whenever I see something in it.

In my laundry room. I don’t scoop, I empty and refill about once every 2 weeks. Use Tidy Cat Long Lasting Odor Control litter. Seriously.

@rebbel I wish I could get my cats to puke in the box. How did you manage that?

Next to the toilet. I use silica gel pearls.

@augustlan Simple, i just showed her a few times.

but seriously, i have no idea where she got that behaviour from.

We keep one in a little room that’s otherwise just used for storing things we don’t want to get rid of but won’t use for any reason. Another one at the end of the hallway, right next to my door (Both of our cats hang out at this side of the house 90% of the time).

edit: Oh right. We scoop them about once a week, with 2 cats.

@rebbel maybe she saw you puking in your own “litter box” and decided to play monkey-see monkey-do?

Ours is currently in the utility room (where the laundry is). We have two cats, and two boxes. Their food is down their as well. Water is throughout the house. We do a big change I think once a week (I’m not sure, I don’t do kitty litter)
In our two bedroom apartment, we kept it in a small walk in closet, we only had one box…so it had to be cleaned frequently.

Laundry room in basement. I empty daily or in summer, when the great outdoors becomes the great litter box, when there are three lumps of whatever. I empty the entire box, clean and bleach and dry in the sun once a month.

Milo’s choice of place to puke seems to be random…anywhere but in little box.

Btw, (don’t know whether this is a mythe or not) i’ve heard once that pregnant women shouldn’t change litterboxes.
Anyone that can back that up?

Some cats carry a parasite, Toxoplasma, in their intestines. It can be found in their feces, and it’s known to cause birth defects.

It’s not guaranteed that your cat has it, and it’s not guaranteed that (if your cat DOES have it) they’ll get into the pregnant woman, but it’s good to be safe.

Thanks for that, Sarcasm.

Ours are in the third bathroom (leaving the other two for the rest of us in the house). They are scooped daily. We use flushable clumping litter made out of corn so often we can just send it down the drain. We refill periodically as needed.

And yes, cats can carry Toxoplasmosis which can indeed cause birth defects in human fetuses, so it is better to be safe than sorry and make husbands do the nasty work of dealing with the litter box.

My cats have two rooms that pretty much belong to them. Three boxes are spread out in two rooms, and we scoop about every day and a half. Sometimes I let it go for almost 3 days, but I have great cats that never have accidents.

@rebbel They actually do test women to see if they’ve ever had toxoplasmosis. I know they checked my titers with my last pregnancy, and I’ve already been infected at some point in my life…which is actually good for pregnancy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxoplasmosis
But, I still get out of doing the kitty litter changes!

Landing at the top of the stairs. Like @casheroo I get to make my husband do it for the next 6½ months! We change it every 2 or 3 days. We only have one cat.

We have two cats and they poop tons and we don’t scoop at all…because we have this god named CatGenie in our bathroom and it does it all for us

@Simone. What does the CG do with the waste then?

I’ve considered getting one of those electric automatic ones but realized that changing the bag/liner in which it is scooped is almost as much of a hassle.

Anyway, to answer the question, I keep it in the closet with most of the sliding door closed. Since I’m down to just one cat I scoop every other day and refill as necessary.

Wish I could persuade her to barf in it as well :)

What is with all these barfing cats??? I never had a cat that barfed on a regular basis???

Hairballs.

Maybe Aussie cats are different? I dunno.

It’s not as if it’s on a regular basis like clockwork or something. It’s very random and there is more of it as season’s change but it can be annoying.

One question—are your cats indoor/outdoor? That may have something to do with it as when they roam freely, they eat grass to purge themselves from hairballs and such. Indoor cats are more limited.

Spare bedroom/computer room, currently one cat/one box cleaned daily.

FWIW, I DESPISE cats…

@stratman37 What?? Why?

litterbox…we USED to have one. had to scoop it out each time she went or my dad would have a fit.
then she became an outdoor cat. never comes home except to eat and occasionally sleep.
so we don’t worry about her mess anymore
i get kinda worried about where she does go.
for a while i got worried that she might not be pooping at all since she never went in her litterbox!

oh, but to answer the question, we used to keep it in the basement under the staircase.

We have two cats and two boxes. One is in the entryway downstairs, the other is at the top of the stairway landing. Both boxes are scooped out once a day. I totally clean them about once a month.

STAY OUTTA DA CATBOX

Laundry room

@Buttonstc
it chews poop up and sends it down a pipe to the toilet and it puts it in the toiler

@Clair lmao

There really is a Family Guy clip for EVERY occasion.

in the laundry room. i scoop it once or twice a week depending on my schedule

I would keep the catbox in the laundry and I’d clean it twice a day morning and night.

I have three cats, and we have two cat boxes for them: One is in the bathroom, next to the toilet, and the other is in our breezeway (an extra, foyer-like room). Since there are multiple cats I need to scoop it every 1–2 days. No cat likes a dirty cat box: would you do your business in a toilet full of feces? Leaving a dirty cat box for too long leads to the cat doing their business in other places, and you don’t want that.

An extra tip: use cat box deodorizer if you have your litter box in your bathroom or another common room. Just sprinkle a little bit in the litter and mix it in. Works wonders and keeps your house from being smelly.
