Litter box maintenance is something that many cat parents hate but has to do to ensure that their pet cats will continue to use the litter box and prevent inappropriate elimination. Here are some tips to make the task easier:
- Have a schedule for scooping at least twice a day. If you have a multi-cat household, you might need to scoop more often.
- Be consistent in following your scooping schedule; make it a part of your daily routine.
- The litter box needs to be undergo a weekly thorough clean-up. Dispose of all the old litter and wash the litter box using soap and water. Make sure it’s dry before putting in a layer of new litter.
- When choosing a litter box, get one that has no cover or top. A cover makes it more difficult to scoop the clumps inside. Cats are also less likely to use a covered box because it makes them feel trapped and confined. Also, cat urine and stool can get stuck on the lid of the litter box, adding more to your clean-up job.
If you notice a sudden change in your pet’s potty behavior, do contact your animal hospital Plano, TX.
