    Daily. We used to have an automatic box, but it was my sister's and she moved and took it. Sonny has three boxes- one was meant to be emptied and stored but he uses it so it stayed, one has cheap litter that he seems to like best, and one has scoopable litter that we like best. All are in the basement so there is no smell, but they get scooped often because I walk past there morning and night to get food for the critters and it doesn't take much effort if there isn't much to scoop.

    which is also downstairs.I use' arm & hammer' litter deoderent 'with the
    fresh step litter & it keeps the smell down for up to a week.

    I have 2 boxes that get cleaned everyday. I change it completely whenever it looks like it needs it/smells.

    I have 4 boxes in the house that get scoopped every day, and they get the boxes get scrubbed whenever they need it which isn't very often.

    I scoop 2 times a day sometimes less or more. I add litter when it needs it and completely change the litter every 2 weeks.

    I would have to say it gets scooped every other day (sometimes more or less) with the three cat brats. It gets completely emptied, washed, and dried every weekend. Then, it gets filled with some awesome Feline Pine and a little sprinkle of Tidy Cat deodorizer. I can't even smell the box with the FP. The reason I add deodorizer is that *SOMEONE* ends up doodying in the litter box as soon as I change it regardless of how clean it was before hand.

    I try to scoop everyday, but sometimes ends up every other day. I go through a lot of litter too! I have to change it at least every two weeks, or my house would start smelling like a sewer system, yuk!

    I have ten boxes, four different kinds of litter. They get scooped twice a day and fully cleaned with new litter once a week.
