While it may be a chore, your cat certainly appreciates a clean litter box. Do you have clever tips and tricks that keep litter box maintenance to a minimum? We'd love to hear from you. We'll be posting more cat owner insights so everyone can benefit from a little practical advice. Check back soon to read what others are saying.
- Kamber B. Evanston, ILMy cat urinates on the front wall of her litter box and a large clump will build up after a couple of days. To avoid having to scrape, I simply tilt the box so the front end is lifted and hit the back of the box gently on the floor. The entire liquid clump will then come loose in one large piece!
- Rachel W. Livermore, CAMy adorable but high maintenance cat likes to pee on the side of her box - being a female cat, I don't even know how she does it. I ended up putting the plastic lid of a large plastic bin under the box. That way, if she does leak, the lid can catch everything. I can just take the box and the bin lid outside and spray it off. It never gets on my floor, and it's super easy to clean up.
- Jeff A. Pleasanton, CAI found it annoying to always have to take the lid off the box to scoop. I finally figured out a solution - I modified the box by cutting off the top. This trick has made scooping much less of a hassle and allows me to scoop more often.
