Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
Things You'll Need:
- Cats and litter box
- bleach
- hot soapy water
- clean litter
- Litter scoop
- plastic grocery bags
-
Step 1
To start with a clean box use new box or wash cat box in hot soapy water. I use a toilet brush that has not been used on a toilet. Makes it easier to use really hot water.
-
Step 2
Rinse box thoroughly to remove soap and swish with about 1 cup of straight bleach to kill any germs....Again rinse well in hot water
-
Step 3
Add clean, fresh litter to box. Remember to scoop daily or more often if you have multiple cats....
-
Step 4
Change litter once a month for one cat and decrease time by a week for multiples....ie...2 cats would be every 3 weeks, 3 cats 2 weeks and more than 3 would be weekly (preferably with multiple boxes).
-
Step 5
Enjoy a clean cat box and cats who willingly use their box

on 3/14/2009 Once a month depends on the litter used and if your cat uses the bathroom a lot. I know when my Momma cat has kittens I scoop 3 times a day and change litter once a week. But mostly I change about every 3 weeks for just my 2 kitties. My Momma cat is the one in my avatar :)

on 3/14/2009 Good ideas. I'm not sure my cat could manage with a once a month litter change, though. Even though I scoop a lot, after one week things smell pretty bad.
