I would put the litter boxes as far away from each other as possible.
Kitty
may not like her litter box in the same area as her litter box unless
this
has always been the setup. I strongly urge the use of Feliway. Some of
the
larger stores carry it and a lot of vets do. I have never had any luck
with
the kind you plug in, just the spray on.
If you have men who will
exclude any of God's creatures
from the shelter of
compassion and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with
their fellow man.
