Default Litter Question

Great information here about litter boxes to an amateur cat keeper like me.

One question that is not even on the bag, though:

How do you know when to change scoopable style litter?

Can you keep scooping indefinitely, just replacing what is scooped out?

Thanks.

I read somewhere recently that you should change the litter out once a
month and thoroughly wash out the box and scooper. I would also do
that if/when your cat is treated for any disease that can be
transmitted from the poop.

Thanks. Now if I can just get the kitten from batting the litter across
the hallway!

I scoop as they poop/pee, top up daily and do a good clean and
change once a week.
No cat likes to do their business in a dirty tray.


I'll endeavor to keep their tray as clean as you do.
