Cat litter guide: do you really know how to use it?

The depth of the litter is important, and it is generally recommended to spread it all over the bottom of the litter box.

Cat litter not working well? It's actually likely that you're not using it correctly! Let's talk about how to use cat litter correctly today so that your cat has a comfortable toilet environment.

How much litter should I put in the litter box?

The depth of the litter is important, and it is generally recommended to spread it all over the bottom of the litter box, about 6-8 centimeters deep (about the length of two knuckles). This depth is just enough to allow the cat to easily scoop the litter and bury the excrement, and also effectively cover the smell.

How often should I refill my cat litter?

Many people wait until a bag of cat litter is almost gone before adding new, this is not true! Cat litter dwindles over the course of use and needs to be replenished promptly. If there is too little litter, your cat may be reluctant to go to the toilet or may not be able to bury it properly. Therefore, it is important to keep the cat litter box with a depth of 6-8 centimeters.

How often should I scoop the cat litter?

Many people think that cats bury themselves and it's okay if they don't have to shovel as often. But cats are actually very clean, and if the litter box is too dirty, they may choose another place to go to the bathroom. It is recommended that you shovel the litter once a day in the morning and once in the evening, and if you go out and can't come home, you can prepare a few extra litter boxes to make sure your cat has a clean place to go to the bathroom.

How many litter boxes do I need for a multi-cat household?

Multi-cat households should definitely not share a litter box. Some cats are very territorial and will not share the same litter box with other cats. Generally speaking, multi-cat families need to prepare N+1 cat litter boxes, where N is the number of cats. For example, if you have three cats in your home, you need to prepare four litter boxes.

Why do cats poop everywhere after changing the litter?

Cats are creatures of habit and may not adapt to a sudden change of litter, thus choosing another place to go to the toilet. The correct way to change the litter should be to change it slowly, pouring a little bit of new litter on top of the original litter used every day, gradually increasing it so that your cat can adapt to it slowly.

I hope these tips can help you, so that your cat has a comfortable toilet environment.
