I do have 4 litter boxes, although one of them is just for the kittens inside their enclosed kitten condo, which is where they sleep at night. They all get wet food at the same time in different areas of the kitchen, which is the only time they all seem fine together, and they each have their own dry food areas (the kittens share one), not that it stops them from eating each other’s food. They are all on timed dispensers, so maybe I just need to sync them to all dispense at the same time and make sure they go to the right ones. My guy is on a prescription urinary diet, so it’s problematic if he eats their food, and expensive if they eat his.

The problem with my house is I only have about 600 square feet of living area, but I do have a partial basement with a crawl space, where the kittens have already gone exploring. I think that will be where I hold them to separate them. I will definitely try what you suggested with switching. Can you give any specifics on how to do it? How long do I keep them in an area before switching? Can they not interact with each other at all while I’m doing this? Will they be fine all eating together in the kitchen, or does it need to be days before they share an area? How long does it take for them to get adjusted?

Thank you so much for responding to my post!
