How often should you replace litterboxes??

[wayne0214]

I keep 8 litter boxes and litter tubs around the houe, all made of plastic. They get scooped cleaned at least once every two days. Also, the contents gets changed about once every 3 days or so. It depends on how much they use it. Some boxes and tubs are used more than others. I never replace any litter material in the tubs and boxes unless first they are thoroughly washed out in the bathtub with dish detergent and a plastic bristled broom. Then they get new litter replacement material. So, far, I havn't had any problems with odors nor any of my furkids not wanting to use them. BTW, the old litter is dumped in the back yard so that my truck tires will grab on to the rock material -to keep them from sliding around when it rains here. Kitty urine is also burried more often than their poops, and it take its toll on cat litter (that is, it contaminates) more so than poops. When their boxes begin to smell like amonia, the I know that kitty urine has reached the saturation point, and the material needs to be changed, regardless if it is visible or not. Generally it is buried deep within the box.
