The reason I ask is today we were doing some DIY which meant Noah's litter tray had to move into the bedroom which was the only quiet place. As I live in a flat the bedroom is next door to the front room and Noah was already relaxing in there; he sniffed the tray so I knew he had spotted it. Later I could tell by his behaviour he wanted to 'go', and eventually kept sniffing the space where the tray had previously been. :'( After a few hours I moved the tray back and it was used pretty quickly.
Obviously it isn't ideal for the tray to be relocated all of a sudden, but sometimes there is no way around it - Noah will have to be shut in the bedroom when, say, I have my immersion heater serviced as I can't risk him escaping!! Is the best/ only way to move the tray to have a second tray? I don't mind at all having another in the hall but don't really want poo's in the bedroom on a regular basis! :sick: Equally I don't want Noah holding on or having an accident as that is distressing for him.

If he is gonna be locked in there I cant see the prob of putting the tray in there with him! ;) Then move it back when he is allowed out! :hug:

I'd be tempted to move it from time to time just to get him used to looking for it
if you stick to the same two or three locations he'll soon cotton on
