@zebratron2084 Litterboxen: have more than one. Rough math is 1 litterbox per 1.5 cats, round up.

If possible, get one with high walls (though you'll need a low wall one for the kittens until their legs work better), and avoid the ones with a separate lid... cats will pee on the inner walls of the boxes, and the pee will run through the seam leading to pooling at the base of the outer box. Liners will help, but if the box has high walls, you don't need to worry.

Kittens will pee on piles of clothes until they figure out litterboxen... and possibly afterwards. Keep clothes and towels off the floors and have hampers... and putting the bath mat over the side of the tub when not in use is a good plan. Indoor floor rugs are also fair game.

@JulieSqveakaroo Thank you, this is all great advice! cc:ing @anthracite on this...

@zebratron2084 @anthracite None of our boxes are covered ones because my sense of smell is bad so I need to visually notice the amount of box use to keep the cleaning consistent.

If the smell is going to be an issue (or one or more of the cats turns out to have privacy wants), then a lid with charcoal filter will help.

They will kick some litter out on the floor when exiting the boxes (or possibly from aggressive burying habits)... high wall boxes help, but a rubber floor mat in front of the boxes will keep debris off the floors... or just some cardboard, on the cheap.

Food: Once you give them sqvishy food, then there's no going back to dry food... they know sqvish exists, and they will be adamant about demanding it.

Soft treats are perfectly fine, and there's nothing wrong with sqvishy food beyond that it can get more expensive... just know once they know it's a choice, it will no longer be a choice.
