    How many times a day do you scoop?

    The litter box, of course.

    I've been scooping the kittie's box everytime I go in there. Well, I check and see if they've gone, and if they have I scoop it out.


    I absolutely can't stand the smell... so i've got to get rid of it as soon as I spot it.

    At least 4 times a day for 3 cats and two litter boxes. Used to have 3 litter boxes but they never used the third one so I put it away. Seems everyone likes the bathroom box the best. My crew loves clean boxes

    We normally scoop twice a day, but sometimes more if we pass and he's done his business. We're lucky to have a litter that doesn't smell. It's the clumbing one and easy to scoop up as well.

    Once a day. I really don't notice an unpleasant smell. What litter are you using? I'm just using Tidy cats for multiple cats and I sprinkle the Arm&Hammer litter odor stuff in it.

    Once a day - three cats, four boxes. I have a separate cat room so the smell doesn't get too bad. Are they covering it well? Sometimes one of my cats neglects to cover completely - that is when it gets smelly.

    Well, they're not my cats -- my brother gave us "Scoop Away" for multi-cats.

    Maybe it's just because i'm not used to having kitty smells in my room. I tell you... i'm starting to LOVE dog fur and dog smells!

    Oh you know what else I think helps is a covered litter box . I know yours are visitors, but if in the future you deicde to get a kitty, covered litter box is the way to go. Sometimes I wonder if I'm immune to litter smell, but when people come over they say they can't smell anything.

    I scoop once a day - sometimes twice if I notice particuarly large deposits!

    Allen is particular, Pouncer will go anywhere in any dirty box. I make sure they are perfectly clean in the morning, and ready for fussy Allen.

    Once a day - two cats, two covered litterboxes. I don't have time to scoop any more than that - so I guess I better not get any more kitties!

    I only scoop once a day Also, I don't smell anything either, since we use an odourless type of litter I think.

    I have 3 ferrets & 1 cat that share litter boxes, because of the ferrets I have 9 litter boxes around the house. The cat pretty much only uses 2 of them.
    I scoop daily or every other day & empty every other day to every third day.
    (it really depends on how smelly the cats feces are & how much out of cage time the ferrets have)

    I really do not notice an odor (unless Meko got canned food LOL) I use the tidy cats, non clumping (cause of the ferrets) I use half & half of the immediate odor control & long lasting odor control. I also sprinkle wood pellet litter on the top (also for the ferrets).
    Soar high & free my sweet fur angels. I love you Nanook & Raustyk... forever & ever.

    Once a day, 2 cats, 3 litter boxes, but I'm lucky enough to have them in the basement so they can stink away if they want and won't bother anybody.

    Once a day for sure, in the evenings. I have two regular (not covered) litter boxes. Will do it before leaving for work if I have time.
