questions about litter box care.
Litter Box Tips:
- Teaching Your New Cat – Teach your
new kitty how to use the litter box by introducing the cat to the box every
morning and after meals and playtime. - How Many Litter Boxes – You should
have one litter box per cat in your house.
This provides enough places for your cats to go. Put the litter boxes somewhere that gives
your cat privacy, but is also conveniently located. - Choosing a Material – If you have a
kitten or you are concerned about your cat eating its litter, biodegradable
litter is a safe and eco-friendly option. Clay and silica-based litters are
good for cats that are at least 3-4 months old. - Cleaning
the Litter Box- You should scoop your cat’s litter box once a day to
keep the area free of germs and clean out the full litter box twice a month. Cat owners can also use baking soda to
refresh the litter box and reduce odor. - Picking a Size – Your cat’s litter
box should be at least one and a half times the length of the cat. If you’re not sure, pick the bigger litter
box.
