Thread: 2 New Kittens

Hi Vanadis

Ohhh lucky you - the babies are absolutely gorgeous!

Re the litter box ... we have the same one for our elderly Tigs (he's not MC and only weighs a fraction over 4kg) ... it's excellent and does keep the smell way down, but I really don't think that it's big enough for a fully grown MC. I totally agree with Jackie, two is an excellent idea, but I also think that you may find yourself replacing them with something bigger as the babies get older. We have found that even Tigs has occasionally stepped in a 'present' :-( And on the odd occasion that one of the kits has gone in to 'check it out' it's been a very snug fit indeed.

We have two of these for the 'kits' - Great Deals on Cat Litter Boxes & Cat Accessories at zooplus: Jumbo Cat Litter Box with Rim
and find that the size is better, but of course they don't have a lid.

Somebody (on here I think?) suggested getting the large under bed storage lockers with lids and cutting a flap / hole in them. Hopefully someone can help with that more? Having said that they would probably be far too big for the babies initially ...

I also totally agree with Jackie about the scratching post - invaluable And yes, more pics please!
