Relevant to Cats

Can a new kitten share a litter box with my cat?

Answer

Yes, cats will usually adapt quite well to using the same litter box. That being said, it’s still a good idea to have more than one litter box in the house, though both cats will most likely use both boxes.

Cats often like to defecate in one box and urinate in another, so multiple boxes will make your cats less likely to eliminate someplace else.

A good rule of thumb for litter boxes is that you should have one more box than you do cats.
