You Need A Self Cleaning Litter Box!
Cats aren’t using their litterbox? Do they poop in the box and pee in a corner? Maybe it’s the other way around. Newsflash! It isn’t the cat’s fault. It’s YOUR fault.
Do you change ALL of the litter at least weekly? Do you scoop at least daily? How many cats do you have? How many litter boxes do you have? What kind of litter do you use? What does the box smell like?
Cats don’t like to poop and pee in the same box. If you have one cat you should have two boxes. If two cats you should have three boxes and so on. There should be one additional box for the number of cats.
Litter should be scooped daily and changed weekly. Before adding new litter the box should be thoroughly cleaned and air dried. You can find an economical cleaner-deodorizer Here. Even if you use liners you should still clean the box weekly.
Now let’s talk litter boxes. There are three basic kinds. There’s the old fashioned kind you scoop. There’s the electric self cleaning kind. There’s the kind my cats like best.
If you don’t like scooping litter (who does) you want a self cleaning litter box. The electric kind are expensive, often don’t work well, and have filters that must be replaced. They end up being more work than scooping.
The other kind of self cleaning box is made by Omega Paw. See the picture. Notice the rounded end. With this box you just roll it over on it’s top, the waste is screened out, and you just roll it back. The waste collects in a tray for easy disposal.
Now let’s talk litter. If you’re using the old fashioned clay litter, get rid of it. Although the clumping litter is good, I’ve found something better. It’s called World’s Best and it’s made from corn.
Litter made from corn is biodegradable, has a nice odor, and is almost dust free. My cats love it! Since I started using it I’ve had no litter box problems at all.
Here’s Omega Paw. Here’s World’s Best . If you scroll down on the World’s Best page you’ll find a deal that includes World’s Best, Omega Paw and a Deshedder all for one price. You can’t beat it.
I hope this will help you with your litter box problems. I know it will give your cats a better home environment. Just ask my cats.
Best,
