Then open the door and allow the cats to reacquaint on their own time, but don’t force them.
Where do you put the second litter box?

How do you manage multiple litter boxes?
Don’t keep all of your litter boxes in one area of your home. Spread them out in different rooms on different levels. That way, there’s always somewhere to go, no matter what part of the house they’re in. If you live in a two-story home, keep litter boxes on both stories if you allow your cats to move between them.J
