Chapter 7: Multi-cat households

A simple rule for multi-cat homes is one litter box per cat plus one extra, giving each animal a private option. Cats in Malaysian landed houses or apartments often share space closely, and a shy cat may stop using the box if a bolder one guards the entrance. Spread the boxes across different floors or in separate rooms rather than lining them up together. Keep every box kitted out the same way so no cat ends up with an unpopular option.
