Can two cats share the same litter tray?

Yes by all means. I have 2 cats and they have used the same litter box but use different ends of it. They art 3 years old and I have always only had one litter box for them. Some are finicky though.


How do you integrate a new cat into the house already having 2 cats?

Go very, very slowly - cats are quite territorial and won't accept any newcomers forced upon them. Start by keeping the new cat in one room with its own litter box and food/water dishes. Let the other cats wander up to the door and get used to the scent of the new cat. This may take a couple of weeks. When the two cats aren't hissing outside the door to where the new cat is, lock up the two cats and let the new cat wander around the house a bit. Put the new cat back into its room then let the other two cats back out; they will investigate the scent of the new cat. Repeat daily until the two cats aren't so interested in figuring out where the new cat went - this may take a couple of weeks or more. When they are all used to the scent of each other, put everyone in cat carriers and let them see each other. You'll eventually work up to letting first the new cat out of the carrier, then letting the two cats out of their carries while the new cat is in its carrier, then letting them all out together. They should be supervised closely until they have all accepted each other.


How many litter boxes will you need if you have 5 cats?

Ideally, you should have one litter box per cat plus one extra. So, for 5 cats, you should have a total of 6 litter boxes. This will help prevent territorial issues and provide enough options for the cats to use.

What does it mean when a cat touched another cats nose?

When a cat touches another cat's nose, it can be a sign of friendly interaction or bonding between the two cats. It can also be a way for them to communicate or gather information about the other cat's scent. In general, it is a behavior that indicates a level of comfort and familiarity between the cats.

How much cat litter to buy for a month?

It depends on whether your cat is allowed outdoors, how many you have, and on the type of litter. For two strictly-indoor cats, using Max Scoop, I generally find that two 7Kg (15-lb) buckets will last six weeks. Cats that are allowed outside will urinate outside, which makes the amount of litter they need a lot less. A single cat will use somewhat less than half the amount of a pair of cats. You will need about the same volume (which is less weight) of wood-pulp based litter such as the flushable types or Yesterdays News.

How can I integrate two cats into the same household successfully?

Integrating two cats into the same household successfully involves gradual introductions, providing separate spaces, and ensuring each cat has their own resources like food, water, and litter boxes. It's important to monitor their interactions and provide positive reinforcement to encourage bonding. Patience and consistency are key in helping the cats adjust to each other and establish a harmonious relationship.
