We have a slight problem with the kittens.
When we got them we got two regular litter boxes, one upstairs and one downstairs, with the plan to move the one downstairs upstairs eventually. However, one of the (Luna I think) likes to pee high up against the back of the litter box. So urine leaked out through the gap between the top and bottom of the litter box.
Since Luna mostly uses the downstairs litter box my mother replaced it with one with a high back, she also switched to saw dust pellets as a filling, since those give off less smell and are easier to clean. After a couple of days of reluctance they didn't have a problem with this new system. And last week we got the same litter box for upstairs, which they also accepted.
Yesterday I moved the downstairs litter box upstairs and that seems to be too much for one of them (Maru probably). Though both boxes were clean last night one of them had urinated next to the boxes (a place where Nikita occasionally urinated when she thought her box was too dirty). And this morning I found one of them had urinated on a small pillow in my room. Luckily it was one I had wanted to throw away for a long time but kept forgetting to do. It must have been Maru; Luna hasn't been in my rooms this morning.
I cleaned up the mess, put some tin foil down on the spot in the hallway and locked my catflap. Until Maru has accepted the new situation she won't be allowed in my rooms.
