Male female litter tray use?


Hi there

We are getting our two kittens in two weeks time when they will be around eight weeks. They are brother and sister. We are planning on getting same cat litter brand they are used to.

Will the brother and sister be happy to share the same litter tray? Will they still share the same litter tray once they are neutered?

Thanks!!

Laura xxx

Hi, Laura! I've had males and females who always shared the same tray all their lives.
No problems whatsoever, but the boy was casual about burying, which annoyed the female cat no end!!

I've heard you should have one box per cat plus a spare, but have always had just one in a lifetime of living with cats.

I only ever had one box for my 2 cats, they were females. No problems.

We had two Siamese cats who were both male, neutered, one year age difference between them. They shared the one litter tray too.

I'm just not sure if brother and sister will want to share the same male / female toilet! Hope so!
