This is one of those questions, not sure there IS an answer.....my two, not yet bonded take turns getting let out and share the same space when they run free. Sometimes they are both out at the same time, but separated by a buffered double gate they can't bite eachrother but can see eachrother and sometimes run back and forth at the gate, then lose interest. I have two litter boxes, one on each side of the gate. They poop are pee a 3 feet all around in addition to in the box. I wouldn't care - since it is all centered around the box mostly on the mats, but they step in the pee and leave tracks and spread their smell even further! I have diligently scooped the poops and thrown them in the box, also wiped the pee and put it in the box. As I said, not sure there is any answer that can help this issue.... obviously a turf war....but should I maybe KEEP some of the pee and poops from both outside the box so they don't feel so inclined to need to keep marking it? Or has anyone ELEVATED the litter box, so they need to jump up to it and may be less likely to mark the floor? Or should I try and ENCLOSED litter box? I leave them out for an hour or two at a time, so I need to provide a box for them - and since I am rotating their space (not fair only one gets the "whole house" and not the other. They are SOOOO GOOD about not doing this anywhere else - only around the box.
