Cats are particular about their bathroom habits, and the number of litter boxes in your home can affect their comfort and hygiene.
The N+1 rule
Most veterinarians recommend one litter box per cat, plus one additional box. For a single cat, that means two boxes.
Placement matters
Spread boxes across different areas of your home rather than clustering them together — this gives cats options and reduces territorial stress in multi-cat households.
Keep it clean
Scoop daily and fully change litter on a regular schedule. A dirty box is one of the most common reasons cats avoid using it.
