Having more than one cat in the household can cause some conflicts to arise. Multi-cat households strictly observe a pecking order. One cat may act as the “alpha cat” and exert their dominance over the others. Some cats do so by leaving their stool exposed instead of burying them, which is a perfect way to mark their territory with their scent. This is a dominant cat’s way of signaling that it wants to claim a particular area as their own or their territory. Subordinate cats in the household would choose not to use the litter box if an alpha cat has already claimed it.
Since we have delved into the issue of dominance, it would be a good idea to have a litter box designated for each cat in your household. Sharing may not be tolerated by a dominant cat in the household. Ideally, the number of litter boxes you should have in your home should correspond to the number of cats you have with you.
