I’ve made a temporary litterbox & placed it in his hallway spot.
it gets used until I can get the pads.

UPDATE:
Hallway litterbox was a success.
So much so that, for now, no pads purchased.
Both cats are using both boxes 
Today’s experiment was moving the hallway box into the hallway closet.
Means leaving the one sliding door open & sliding all clothing (jackets) to the other side.
HD garbage bag under the box & taped up on walls as a barrier.
Wish me luck.
If the new location is acceptable, pads will go on top the plastic.
Sigh 
On the Bright Side.
Royal Canin Renal is a hit.
Chewy sent me a coupon for $20 off & Free Delivery 
Case of 24 5oz cans was here in a day 
I’m hoping he’ll do well enough so the RC can be mixed with cheaper food after his 6wk checkup.
He’s already less skeletal.

Closet Fail 
So it looks like I live with a litterbox in my entry hall
Good thing I don’t get a lot of visitors

Well yay, and boo 
And don’t worry about visitors - not their house or cat, and we kitty owners do what needs to be done

Try moving the litter box very gradually to the closet–just an inch or two every 2-3 days.

We have a tiny house and no place for a litter box except the bathtub. Finally got sick of carting it in and out of the house to take a shower. One day a light bulb came on and I bought one of these. There are many varieties and as plain or fancy as you like.

I’ve seen those & they’re lovely.
But there’s zero space in the hallway for one

Godspeed, Stripes.
He crashed this morning, may have stroked out.
Last night, for the 1st time EVER, he cuddled up next to me on the couch.
I let him stay until my arm - curled around him - went numb.
He stayed a while w/Bounce
This morning he did not snarf his breakfast. Odd.
Then retired to his fleece house - not odd.
But something told me to check on him & I found him near comatose.
Off to the vet, where they took vitals
Unnecessary, but probably protocol.
Vet agreed he was neurologic & I gave him release.
RIP, Stripes, we had a good year
No more hallway litterbox
No more polite begging
No more countersurfing
I called the shelter, they’ll take the 2/3 case RC.
I may get another Sr freebie, but not right away.
My heart says he knew last night & thanked me with the lapcat act.

It was his choice.
He was most definitely not a lapcat.
Nor a snuggler w/Bounce either - who I’m sure misses his Cheeto pillow 
When I’m ready, I’ll ask the shelter for a Sr who really likes other cats. 
I can do without two kitty barnacles (Bounce likes his laptime), but I like seeing them enjoying each other.
