We're going to be getting another cat this fall, after sadly saying goodbye to our previous cat a few months ago. This question is a practical one. With cat #1, the litter boxes were in a spare room with a carpet. Well, over the years, cat #1 wasn't always very good at using the boxes, and as a result, a lot of cat urine ended up hitting the bottoms of the walls where the boxes were, ruining the baseboard molding, and of course the carpet padding itself. It wasn't a question of using a high-sided box; sometimes the cat wouldn't bother with the box at all, and would just go against the wall or in a corner.
Since then, we've had this room redone with new baseboard and vinyl plank flooring. Looks nice, and more importantly, smells nice. Now I am thinking about what to do for cat #2 when he/she comes along. Vinyl plank should be more resistant, but maybe we should add a washable carpet with some kind of protective layer underneath? And I'm even thinking about getting some plexiglass for the wall bottoms where the litter boxes are.
Any ideas/experiences would be much appreciated.
