Changing Of The Litter

[K & L]

We change 9 boxes daily. They say to have one litter box per cat...but since ours have access to outdoors (via cat run) we feel these are adequate.

we have two boxes...one for each cat. My husband completely cleans out the boxes and changes the litter weekly. Of course he scoops the stuff out daily.

We scoop our five litter boxes daily. We have one out in the cat enclosure that we scoop as needed.

I've heard that rule too, but we only have 2 boxes for 3 kittys and that seems to be plenty. They are the huge boxes, since both Lucky & Fluffy are both around 20 lbs each. I clean it out nightly and monthly we actually clean & disinfect the boxes (unless someone decides to dirty the box!) Plus I'm usually in there after "someone" uses the box to cover and spray.....P-U!

We have 2 litter trays for big cats and two small ones for kitten. This is plenty as our cats also go outside.

We scoop Toby's litter daily, and we have litter that stays clean and lasts a while, so we do a full litter change close to monthly

I have 7 large litter boxes and 1 small one for 8 cats. I use a scoopable scented litter and scoop twice a day. Every week, I change all of the litter.

Of course, most of them would rather go outside in the pen---which I scoop once a week. But I still haven't been able to eliminate the odor outside. I've been using Arm & Hammer cat deodorizer, but it hasn't helped a lot.

Hubby scoops first thing when he gets home every morning.... and we do a complete dump every Friday!

I scoop daily but change the litter weekly.

14 litter boxes......scooped twice daily. But I do not actually empty and change them as often as a lot of people do.

I have three boxes available for four cats. But, as soon as the fosters are let out into the house, they all use the one box. Four on one box!


Eh, what are ya gonna do?

I have six boxes for six cats. Minnie's is 'private' , in her closet. I scoop daily but, I don't change the litter ANYWHERE near the frequency that you all do. I bet I don't change out the litter but maybe 3 times a year.....and, no, my house doesn't smell like a cat box....

I'm tellin' ya...it is the truth. I cannot believe how often you guys change your litter. You all must own stock in a dessert.

I think I will buy some extra litter tomorrow and change it all over. I will admit it is nicer when it is fresh. I always add more litter in....I just don't change it ALL out....
