Changing litter box location?
A little advice is needed. I'm moving the location of the litter boxes due to a new baby needing the current space as a nursery. They'll have four months to get used to it before the little one arrives. I've already set up the two new boxes in the ultimate position that I'd like them to be. Meanwhile I've been moving the old ones a little closer to the new ones everyday (just in the next room). The cats have started using the new ones as well. Good or bad idea to get rid of the old ones? Should I continue with the moving process or is it not necessary?

Since they know where the new ones are, go ahead and take the old ones away, and store them somewhere maybe in a garage.
And see what happends.

If they are using the new ones, that might be good enough, but just as a precaution i would continue with moving the old one. But now you can move it faster instead of slowly. You just don't want to take that one place to potty away all of the sudden or they might be confused. Once the old box is near the new ones, you can get rid of it, they will have the new ones infused with the scent and be using those all the time. Good luck!!

Yes, you're already doing it right.
You can take away the old ones if they use the new ones.
You won't have any probs.
An important note: If you baby your cats now, be sure to baby them at least as often when the baby arrives. Also include them when you are spending time with the baby.
Cats get jealous if they feel "replaced" by your baby. It gives them reason to act up such as peeing or pooping somewhere else, etc.
Cats and babies do fine together.

They wont even notice..just make sure you pick them up and put them into it..they will know!
I have to move my litter box ALL the time when we have guests..all i do is pick up the fur ball and show her..(she could really careless..)
when i got my new litter box--same thing! They are smart!! you dont need the old ones anymore..they are probably confused as to why there are so many potties! =)

If your cats are well litter trained and are already using the new boxes I'd take up the old boxes and see how they do.

You're going about it in the right way but stay with the plan.
Take one of the old ones away now.
Once the old one is in the new room you should be able to remove it, too.
As a precaution, I'd block all access to the nursery for awhile, too.
