I put several pee pads down for Miko...He has two in the living room and one by the bathroom. Then at night, we keep one in our room just in case he has to go in the middle of the night, but he usually doesn't like to use the pad in the room for some reason. There's nothing wrong with putting down severals pee pads...We started Miko on the pee pads because we used to live on the 3rd floor of an apt. building and with as often as these guys pee when they're little, it was terrible to go up and down the stairs so many times!
