I went with an outoor love seat and 2 chairs with removable cushions. I have a glider already. If someone comes over I'll get the cushions out of the spare bedroom and put them on the patio furniture. lol. I think you could mix the cat attract. Maybe start out with it straight, and if it works, start mixing regular back in.... I had one cat years ago that cat attract worke for. I also know people use the small kiddy wading pools for litter boxes....I've never tried that, but when it got bad in the past, I just put litter boxes in every room they used. I sat them on the sofas, on a chest at the bottom of my bed, etc... I'm down to 5 cats, but I still have to separate food and water dishes in all different rooms.... I always have more food bowls than there are cats. You might increase the number of litter boxes and spread them out. The cats do like to corner and pounce on unsuspecting victims eating or in the litterbox! God bless you and all who rescue. Believe it or not, I've had more dog problems recently. I haven't even moved the patio furniture from the basement where it was delivered up to the living room. My old sofas are in various stages of being taken apart since I can't give them to Goodwill! I've been 'handicapping' the back deck stairs with lights and astro turf to prevent falls from a couple of elderly dogs....
