Cat Litter tray - how freq do you change it?

calicocat

My cat only uses indoor litter.
She has ultra clumping litter so I can pick everything out daily.

I don’t change the whole thing every week as I am picking it all out, I deep clean it every month if i’m honest. Surely that’s the point of clumping litter.

I don’t have bad smells and litter is always free of soils and free moving for next use.

I find the more litter you have in, the less mess you get. I keep it topped up to the hilt at all times so the actual tray never gets messy or dirty other than odd accident.

My cats is only changed when I think it's needed: rarely. Solids & clumps removed daily & topped up with fresh.:T

I have 3 indoor cats and 3 boxes. I changed a few months ago to trays with entrances in the top which means a lot less litter kicked out all over the carpet and seemingly less smell... Sometimes lol!



I had a bag of Worlds Best which I bought as one of my girls had surgery on her midline and I didn't want to use my normal Sanicat clumping litter. She's now fully healed, so one of the boxes has that in it and the other two have the normal stuff. I liked the World's Best stuff as it's lightweight, clumps well and is good at neutralising smells but sadly my creatures don't seem keen on it. I suspect that only Feora is using it as she got used to it when she was on cage rest.



I scoop the trays every night and do a deep clean every 6 weeks or so.
