He is 9 weeks old (i've had him since he was 5 weeks old)and has never had an accident he is wonderful, but now that he is trained i would like to move the box out of the kitchen to my laundry room downstairs, there is 2 flight of stairs to get there, but he can get there. If i move it will he know where it is if i show him or am i going to have problems with him finding it and having accidents? Help i have never had a kitty before.

This sounds funny but when you move it, don't clean it right before or right after the move. Leave some of kitties scent in the box, he will smell it and find his box.

it shouldn't be a problem, You will want to put him in the box right when you move it and take him down to it a few times to make sure he remembers where the new spot is.
Clean the floor very well where it used to be, so the odor won't be so strong and tempt him to use the old area. Be patient if he has a couple accidents, he's only a few weeks old! Just pick him up and place him in the new spot.
Don't change the litter out completely for the next 2-3 days so he can have an easier time remembering where it is. Do scoop it out as you usually do.

Move it short distances every day, until it is on the final place where you want it. This way the puppy will not get too confused and gradually get used to where his litter box is.

Your cat will find the litter box, as long as you show him the new location and don't expect him to find it on his own! Cats have a brilliant memory, and also with the inclination to not be messy, you should not have an accident.

Usually cat experts reccommend one box per floor, but your cat should be able to find the box...You may have to show him a couple times to make sure he knows where it is, though.

Move it step by step, furter every day until you reach the spot, but this sound like a awfull distance to go for a poo.

yes. after you move it set the cat in it. an don't clean it right before and after you move it so he can smell it. he should be able to remember where it is if he is familiar with the house.
