Whether you’re a new cat parent or a veteran to the litter world, a little refresher on cat litter basics can keep things feeling (and smelling) fresh. Get the must-know cat litter information below or check out more in-depth facts on Litter Do’s and Don’ts.
How much litter?
Make sure litter boxes are filled with around 3-4 inches of litter in order to maximize performance and cat comfort. 2-3 inches for non-clumping and 3-4 inches for clumping should do the trick.
How many litter boxes?
It’s important that cats have their space! That’s why we suggest one more litter box than the number of cats you have to ensure cats are happy and comfy.
Where to put the litter box?
Litter box placement is key to making sure your cat is as happy as they can be when they have to go. Place it in a room your cat enjoys (ideally some place spacious, easy to access, and separate from their food)
How often to clean the litter box?
Cats prefer a clean area to do their business. If you’re using clumping litter, scoop and toss clumps every day. And every other week or so, change the litter completely and wipe the box down with soap and water to keep things fresh.
