Hi everyone,

Can several cats share the same litter tray? If so, what is the maximum number?

Thanks for your help

    No, not three, two at the very most. From three onwards, it is ESSENTIAL to have three litter trays, unless you have a pretty poor idea of hygiene 🤗

    Spot on. Both cats would need to be happy sharing a single tray, which is quite rare and means you’d have to scoop it out at least four times a day; sticking to the standard rule is definitely recommended! Beyond just being a loo, the litter tray is also a bit of a territorial minefield 🙂

    The standard rule of thumb: ONE litter tray per CAT + 1 extra to help manage territorial issues.

    (E.g. 3 cats = 4 litter trays)

    It’s possible that TWO cats might share ONE tray, but once you have THREE or more, it’s highly recommended to have at least one tray per cat. Use good quality litter and make sure to scoop them out every day.
