We are relocating and living in temporary housing for a few months. Would this work for 4 cats to feel safe during transition (and hold a litter box)

There are several things to consider. The most important I would say is the size of the cats. My two cats are about 8# each the sleep together on the top level. They take up the entire shelf. They have their food bowls on the second shelf and on the bottom there is a water bottle and I have a corner litter box. they use it as a step to the upper levels. At this point I only keep them in there overnight. The other question is: are you planing on keeping them in the cage all the time? If you are it may be a tight fit. But if you are thinking of it being a safe place for them to retreat to and spend the night It might work for the short term. You May find a way to arrange things differently to give your kitty the most room possible. Bottom line is if your kitties are on the smaller size and get along well they may do ok. I would be sure to find a way to let them stretch their legs. Sorry if I ramble I am just trying to cover it all.

Put the litter box in last or just put shredded paper on the lowest tray. They will spill in their upset state. I partially covered mine with a blanket to hide the movers. Opened it a bit at a time in the new place.

My wife and I agree with D. Shaffer. The cage isn't strong enough to travel with occupants, especially 4cats, if that is what you intended. Our cage holds 2 10lb cats and they take up both shelves when at rest.

Most likely not. I'm assuming you're referring to not only if the extra 3 lb will bend the cage, also if your cat is going to be comfortable? In my opinion, after using it for few days, any normal weight adult cat is not comfortable in it, every time the cat is jumping, the cage is shaking, it scares both you and the cat.

We have 3 cats with *very* different personalities, and they all switched quite easily. One good way to facilitate the process is to put the old litter box right next to the Genie, and stop cleaning the old litter box. Cats are so opposed to a dirty box they'll be motivated to try the Genie. I also *highly* recommend using the sidewalls - we have 1 "scatterer" and are saving a lot more granules now.

I have used Feliway primarily to keep our cats calm while we were in the process of moving from one house to another. We placed it in a small bathroom where their litter box was located. It did the trick in keeping them calm. We also used it some after we moved into a home with much more open room space. I think it lasted longer in the smaller space (maybe 3 weeks continuously plugged in),but I did not really keep tabs on it since it serve our need in the move. Now we only use it occasionally when we may be gone for a weekend and someone other than us feeds them. It may have to do with ventilation and location of where you have it plugged in.

Merging answers from Hercules481 and TERMlNATOR, yes, it can, with the caveat that the clasps will be very loose. If you need to carry the litter box, one or more of the clasps could easily unlock [I know from experience] and the trays drop out [did not happen, but hearing a clasp break free is not pleasant]. If the litter box will be more-or-less stationary, it would be fine. If you need to carry the litter box around, you could end up pouring its contents out.

I have two cats and I would not use it to put a litter box in. The box may fit but would be too confining for my cat to use. But it IS a great clothes hamper and doubles as a changing chair. I have two of them (one for me and one for my husband) and I have them sitting under the two windows in our walk in closet.

On the first issue, I would say yes. My mom's cat used to urinate and defecate in his crate whenever he was put in it to go to the vet (10 minute drive). They used the wipes and were able to drive him to my house (45 minute drive) and he arrived completely calm and relaxed...even when being introduced to my cats and dog. For litter box anxiety, maybe the diffuser would be a better idea?

I have to 12# cats, they get in and out just fine. As long we they are not terribly tall, it should be good. &#128522;

Absolutely, good for multiple cats, we bought the larger one, which probably is a bit deeper, but our cats hated the door, so we took it off.We have several types of boxes, and this one was definitely a favorite, (we have 5 cats).Hint, use the sifter in the middle,then you just pick up box 1, run thru the sifter, and the bottom box becomes the cleaned litter box, wipe out the old dirty one and then put the sifter in it, otherwise everything sticks to the sifter pan.

I'm glad you asked me because we have two indoor kitties, one elderly and one a bit younger. I don't think it is good for cats, there is enough space, but our two got very scared and tried to claw out and were otherwise frightened.

It would be hard to secure for a cat. They could get out easily & I think they would be scared.

We have two cats and only turn the box every 2-3 days and it's fine. If you have one cat, leaving it for the weekend should be no problem! Have a great weekend!!

Absolutely. But personally, for long periods of time I would not keep more than two in it. For smaller cats or moms and babies, no problem for more than two.

If you have a big kitty, you may want to consider buying a large plastic storage tote and cutting an opening in one end. This is what I do, I don't purchase commercial litterboxes anymore. 5 cats and no accidents with this method. Cats like to have a LOT of room in their box if you can give it to them!

I do not believe they would be comfortable in there. My cat weighs 11-12# and he has enough room to turn around; but I do not believe 2 kitties could turn around at the same time.

I really didn't have the product too long to get to that point. It just didn't work out with the 7 cats and 6 boxes. Maybe be better for 1 or 2. I'm not sure any litter will be totally track free. But I found ways to minimize it. If you turn the box towards a wall leaving enough space for them to enter and leave, it makes them have to slowly leave the box, instead of flying out like a bat out of hell. It helps a little, but not 100%.I also was able to find scraps of shag carpet that I put in front of each box. Hope that helps.

i think you would be ok with this carrier. It works well for our cat and she is about 6-8 lbs. Is very open so they dont feel so trapped.
