How do YOU change the litterbox?

[critter crazy]

Another thing that's weird.... We have two large litter boxes side-by-side (in case more than 1 has to go at the same time). Evidently our kitties have come to some agreement. They poop in one and pee in the other. Somehow they worked out this arrangement and have all agreed to it.

Hey!!! Mine do he same thing!!!! Ha ha ha ha!! I though only my cats we weird!!!

How do I 'clean' the litter box? This is how I 'clean' it:

"Mom! Snow's litter box has to be cleaned!"

I have multiple boxes, and I do similar to above, EXCEPT --

Rather than lugging all those boxed, I bring the trash barrel on wheels IN THE HOUSE, into each room, and dump the boxes into it. I do try to dump into a plastic bag which I hang in the barrel, and sometimes it even works!

Then I wheel the trash back outside.

I take the litter boxes outdoors, dump everything into a large Flex Force bag, then hose the litter boxes out, add disinfectant cleanser and scrub them well, then hose them out again. Completely towel dry them, then back indoors where I fill them w/fresh litter.

Does anyone out there use Lysol in the cat's litter pan? I've been using vinegar and water to clean Cassie's litter pan, but I wonder if I should be using something with a disinfectant. My sister used to use Lysol with her cats. I remember her rinsing and rinsing and rinsing the box. That's why I've been using vinegar. Is there something more organic I can try? How often does anyone replace the pan itself? She's so funny ... I empty, clean, refill it, go down to the Dumpster with the "old" litter and usually, within 10 or 15 minutes I hear her in there digging and pawing. Silly kitty

Years ago in Cat Fancy magazine, I think, I read that cats are sensitive to Lysol. Here are a couple of links you may want to peruse:

I can't change my litterbox.

IT'S GOT TO WANT TO CHANGE.

Until then, it is a place where the Edster poops and pees.

I think it's best just to use soap and water to clean out the litter boxes. This is what I use and then I also use Simple Solution which is an enzyme cleaner to help make the boxes smell fresher and to help get rid of the urine smell. I use the litter boxes for many years. Depending on how hard your cats are on them, they could almost last you a life time. Good luck.

Sherpa never ever ever buries anything, so I only have to really clean it about every 6 weeks. I dump it out into the dumpster outside, rinse the pan in the tub, and wash it with a sponge especially for the litterbox and some Dawn dish soap.

[Don Juan's mom]

I dump the litterbox into the building dumpster, then scrub outside with a Brillo pad and rinse. I then set it out in the sun to dry and disinfect.

Don Juan is the resident "litter tester" here.

I CLEAN THE BOXES OUT ABOUT 3 TIMES A DAY, AND THEN PUT THE USED LITTER INTO A DOUBLE PLATIC SHOPPING BAG, AND THEN THROW THEM INTO THE GARABGE BAG AT THE BUS STOP , WHERE ITS ALL GATHERED IN A BIG INDUSTRIAL BAG AND TOSSED IN THE LAND FILL.
I GUESS THAT EVERY DAY THEY GO THROUGH 8 POUNDS OF CLUMPING LITTER!!
