The fascinating litter box
The
second most asked question is the litter box. It's amazing to us how
many people are interested in where we keep the girl's litter box!
There is no set standard for this issue. All RV cat people have their
own place of preference. It's really what works best for your cat, or
multiple cats, and the size of your RV. Our cats have always shared
one box, so we don't have that issue.
We
very rarely use full hookups. Mostly we prefer electric and water
connections or we're boondocking (with no electric & water
attachment.) Also, we usually spend at least 2 weeks in one place.
This means we don't use our inside shower... it would fill up our
grey water tank in no time at all. There's no way we're going to
close down, go dump and then set up again every few days. We use our
outside shower or the blackbag shower, if possible, or the park's
shower facility. So it makes sense to us to keep the litter box in
the shower cubicle! It's easy to keep clean and it's secure, i.e. it
doesn't go walk abouts when we're traveling.
We
find a lightweight clumping litter for multiple cats is economical,
good for the environment and works really well. There's no odour, you
don't have to throw out tons of litter every week or so. We've got a
bag of sandwich bags hanging just above the box. This all makes life
pretty easy to keep the box clean.
I
take the box out every 8-10 days and give it a good wash, while the
remaining litter gets some fresh air, and we've had no problems at
all.
The
funny thing is although Geordie goes out walking a few times each day
she rarely, very rarely, uses the great outdoors for a toilet!!
She's on occasion demanded to come inside, gone to the loo and then
demanded to go outside again. Go figure!
Travel safe and have fun
