How To Keep Your Cat's Litter Box Clean (Tips & Tools)

[@myrebornlilliebeth5164]

I use pine pellets that are actually made for horse bedding. Doesn’t take much. Total odor control. Very inexpensive. Makes no mess. Only a couple or so whole pellets make it out of the pan each day. Poop is easily removed in one clump. Urine is totally absorbed into the pine pellets and a light fresh pine scent is released. Where the urine is, the pellets fall apart and are easily scoop-able. I just move the whole pellets around to cover top layer. Then I add a large scoop of new pellets to top. I change the litter once a week. I buy a 50 pound bag for around $7. Fill pan 4 to 5 inches deep. It’s definitely worth it for you to try. I luv it and have absolutely no problems with my cats using it. You can get it at Home Depot, Tractor supply, or Farm Co-op type stores. Hugs from Gloria 💓💕

This is also what we use, because wife hates the clay and the dust from the glass makes my head scream.

[@mamabirdie734]

Same here. Made the change 5 years ago and saves my lungs, and cats breathing/ ingesting clay dust into their body. Thousands of cat owners are so unaware of this super cheap alternative. I even informed our local animal shelter how they would save thousands if they made the change so they can redirect the $ they save to pet food/care but as is the human condition bad habits are hard to break even in the face of better solutions.

I have a box of pre cut unbleached parchment paper I keep with my litter box stuff and I put a piece at the bottom every time I change it so that nothing sticks to the bottom and I don’t ever have to clean the bottom. Works like a charm.

[@kayo5291]

Does the paper tear or bunch up when you scoop?

[@astrocoastalprocessor]

@@kayo5291also curious to know a section of parchment is used around here to line the meal prep containers and it doesn't often tear, but nobody here is putting bodyweight pressure on the fork to scratch deeper into the terrain.

[@kateeeh3795]

@@kayo5291 for me almost never because it kind of sticks to the box. I’ve only ever had tears a couple times if I let the litter level get to low where he was scratching the bottom. But even that was more on the edge than in the middle. I’ve been doing it for 2 years. I do have the kind of litter box that you dump one pan through a filter to a new pan so that makes it easier to change the paper regularly.

Cat owner and Cat pet sitter here, so I have used a large variety of boxes and litters. I absolutely love stainless steel boxes, they are so easy to clean and do not hold onto odors. My absolute favorite Litter is Smart Cat 100% grass litter!!! I recommend it to all of my clients. I am very sensitive to smells and dust so most of the clay litters really bother me and i have to wear a mask while scooping. I hate Pretty Litter and most clay litters, as they are so dusty. I dislike the pine pellets because they disintegrate into a sawdust and it makes scooping more difficult.

[@sherlynlampe5095]

I use Scoop Away clay clumping litter. It really controls odor which the cats also appreciate. I buy a 42 lb carton that contains four ten+ pound small bags. Chewy delivers it to my door where I cut it open and carry in the small bags one at a time. I am elderly and not strong enough to lift litter container over 15 lb so this works well for me. It's also cheap which is necessity for low income.

I bought one from Amazon recently after rescuing a one-ish year old Tabby (from a friend of a friend whose leg was amputated). Feline is delightful but huge for NOT being a Maine Coon. Loveable but a BEAST who needs a very large litter box. He prefers the stainless steel box and pushes the litter all the way to the back so he can press his very large paw pads against the stainless steel bottom but free of the litter he’s pushed away. He turns around & puts his bottom over the litter & then releases his business into the litter while pressing his paw pad into the cool stainless steel. I also maintain another very large litter box which is plastic. This cat prefers the stainless steel box.

As a lifelong cat owner I agree w/ the other commenter @ pine pellets made for horses at my local Feed store. Inflation & limited budget w/ 3 cats I buy a 40lb bag for $7. No more dust on furniture, most importantly compromising my lungs, air quality, cat ingesting clay when cleaning themselves, and heavy trash bags, etc. With the high cost of groceries and gas I can’t afford the $25-$30 cost for 20lbs of clay litter so pine pellets are a blessing and disintegrates into basically sawdust super easy to sift rather than the clumps that cling to every nook and cranny. Plus it’s super easy to wash off the box with an outdoor hose. I save hundreds of $ annually. The $ I spent buying a litter box made to sift pine pellets has saved me $$$ in the long run buying $7 40lb bags of horse pine pellets.

@@carolwright6221I bought mine 5 years ago before inflation and it was only $25 but now it’s too expensive at $46 from a company called “happycatsonline” but I love it bc it’s still going strong after all these years and the sifting holes are perfectly sized so the pellets don’t get stuck or wedged in the holes yet easy to sift. There are cheaper ones on Amazon. I live in Texas so I’m so lucky our Feed Store sells these $7 bags for horses bc no way would farmers pay $20-$30 for 40lb bag of horse pine pellets. Honestly, buying them at a Feed store is the way to go bc the large cat companies are gouging middle America for the same product and up charging for commercials, pretty packaging, and a hefty profit.

@danaalboresss6958 partly I think I'm just lucky, but my kittens are just that babies. I started by putting the harness on them while they were inside to get them used to it even while it was too big. They used litter box for short time. I'm thankful my older of the two was very curious about going outside with us, so I put the cat cage outside with some litter and would start taking him out. Finally I started putting him on the leash. My baby she kinda just followed suit. She followed his example. There were and still are occasionally accidents and I do have to wake up early to let them out one they meow but it's worth it to me. Hope this kinda helps

Did your cats adjust to the new litter well? My cats are so neurotic and such creatures of habit, I’m always worried when I change things, that they won’t adjust. When I got them a water fountain, it took them a week to start drinking from it. I realized they just weren’t drinking at all and kept having to put out water in a bowl at the end of each day until they started using the fountain. I’ve always re-bought the same litter box over the years because I’m afraid to change it and have them not use it. I recently got them a generic litter robot because I’m sick of scooping a box, they actually went right in it and used it, but now that they’ve seen it self clean itself, theyre afraid of it despite it being sooo quiet and now won’t go in. I brought their old litter box back in and they’ve been sleeping in front of it like theyve had separation anxiety lol soo ridiculous

I switched to the disposable boxes about 6 or 7 years ago on a Clean My Space recommendation video. Previous to that I thought that the disposable boxes were a waste of money. However, I realized that I wanted to chuck my plastic boxes many times over the years because of how scratched up they would get from litter scraping the surface. It was a perfect capillary urine trap. I also didn't have a good sink to wash the box in and... so I rarely washed the boxes. Disposable boxes suddenly made sense. I like the idea of the SS box - and now I have a wash tub that I could clean it out in. I'll have to put that in my wish list. I currently use The World's Best Cat Litter in the red bag. I also recently got Litter Genius when we were having cat box problems.

Timely video! I was trying to switch my cat to a paper-based litter instead of the clay litter. The clay litter was heavy, dusty, and difficult to clean; it's also not very environmentally friendly, so I am looking for something more lightweight and compostable. However, switching to the paper is not going very well because my cat prefers being able to dig a hole for his waste, so the paper product doesn't satisfy that need for him. It was really good at absorbing urine and much better than the clay for the odour control, so we're trying to find a happy medium. I'll be switching to stainless steel boxes soon though, since the plastic ones we have need to be replaced and are actually too small for our cat! He's a big boy.

I use wood pellets from tractor supply. It’s 8 dollars for 40 pounds and it literally has a cat on the bag to use so I know it’s safe and he has no issues using it and lasts so much longer!!

[@glazedandinblue8875]

The only litter I can use is Arm and Hammer Clump and Seal. I've tried crystal, wood chips, and everything in between but it's the only thing that reliably keeps the smell out and that my cats will use. Yes, it tracks, but my cats kick and track anything no matter what I do.

Pine pellets at litter ( 40 pound bags lasts 9 plus months $8) Daily -Scoop the poop immediately ( into the litter genie ) Daily -Clean the litter ( removing the saw dust as that’s where they urinated ) Daily - rinse out water bowl and replace with fresh water Daily -Vacuum ( I too don’t use a mat as it’s just one more thing to clean ) Weekly -clean the litter box with vinegar and water/ food bowl with dish soap

Funny I found this tonight as I was looking for a stainless steel litter box today. I have a lot of cats. I use Dr Elsey’s Ultra clumping litter. It is fantastic at odor control.

I appreciate you stopping by and sharing your thoughts. It means a lot!

[@SoliRhymesWithJulie]

I use Swheat Scoop and love it. It's also flushable. :) And you have reminded me I need to buy new boxes. I use the round Booda boxes with lids, and my cats ignore any other style. (Yes I have tried) The company at least claims it is primarily recycled plastic too. Didn't ever consider getting a liner though, thank you! My little stinker is quite skilled at leaving stains and it would be nice not to have to deal with that. Or bringing the entire pan down to the garage to dump monthly.

[@katherinekelly4782]

I used to flush my Swheat Scoop but it ended up horribly clogging my sewer line after about a year. We paid so much money to have the drain snaked by a company. They told us "someone flushed a ton of sawdust down your drain" but I knew it was the litter. Lesson learned!

[@TheKingOfInappropriateComments]

Those stainless ones are pretty nifty. I never thought of plastic as porous tho. Anyway to answer your Q, I use "World's Best" in the green bag.

[@cassthompson3386]

Ive been using Pretty Litter for about a year and a half now. I was very skeptical at first because its a non-clumping litter (which i thought would be awful because i want to scoop out the urine as well).....but it has been the BEST litter i have EVER used hands down! It lasts way longer than others, it literally has ZERO smell, it changes color to inform you of any health problems, and it is not any more expensive than cheap clay litter. I know it sounds like im an ambassador for the brand lol 😂 but no, it is just so good and ive been so impressed with it. It also works with Litter Robots.

My granddaughter uses PL and loves it. I kept her two cats last week and they tracked it all over my house. I go barefoot inside and every time I'd step on it, it felt like I stepped on glass! And funny story: My 3 month old kitten decided to play in her visitor's litter box. When I went to pick her up, she layed down in the litter and fought me. She was covered head to toe in that fine litter! She immediately had a bath!

[@karenfranceslewis1513]

I learned long ago that it doesn't matter if I like it! If the grumpy old lady doesn't like it, she will demonstrate her displeasure. On the upside, if the box is clean and it's just a problem with the litter itself, she will do her business in front of the box (rather than on the bed/laundry/couch as she does when she's upset about other things) so a washable mat catches something worthwhile for us. And luckily-ish, she prefers clay instead of demanding more expensive options🤑

Thank you SO MUCH for this video!!!

We have six cats. We buy the wood pellets that they sell at farm stores for horses. We completely change the litter once per week and clean the solids twice per day. It works. We have four large boxes. We use pee pads under and on the wall because we have two older cats. The wood pellets are amazing for controlling odors. I like the idea of stainless steel.

[@zachh468]

Love this video!! 🐈

[@cleanmyspace]

Aw, shucks, you're making me blush! Thanks for the love!

[@janettolway8538]

I buy Exquisicat Natural paper pellets, fragrance free 10 day odour control. It's low tracking. I don't but pine pellets because it's supposed to be hazardous to health? Since it's springtime i'll clean the litter boxes outside and to sanitize further in the sunlight.

[@boblgumm1]

I use a Purrified Air litter box air purifier along with Pretty Litter. Honestly, I sometimes forget to clean the box for several days.

[@kimberli5221]

Pretty Litter and i use paper shreds from my office that shreds everyone's documents I put paper strips on the bottom to soak up anything and pretty litter on top

[@tanyalmno9614]

I have all male cats and they like to pee over the box. I did switch to stainless steel boxes but keep them in old totes that I was using as their litter boxes. I use pelletized equine pellets.

[@paulinecallahan6888]

I use crushed walnuts litter for my cat. Its the best litter Ive ever used. and I scoop the litter twice a day. People say they would never know a cat lives here btw I wouldn't use any citrus scented cleaner around your cat they do not like it at all .

[@doloressoley5403]

Great information

[@janettolway8538]

A fav video ... 😂 great tips!! ❤❤

[@djenkins853]

Great video. Thank you!

[@ingrid2543]

I have a cat that is a high pisser so I bought a litter box from Modcat. I would really like the stainless steel one but I know he would aim over the edge onto the floor.

[@susanc1760]

Your gorgeous fur baby looks like our beloved late 15-yr4 month old male Himalayan Siamese cat ❤❤❤

[@creativegemarts]

I use a walnut kitty litter . It works well

[@nafisajaghuri51]

I use this at Walmart and it works pretty well! Can I upload a pic ?

[@annlavine3576]

just great cat litter i like it

[@karenwade729]

I have to change my litter every now and then. I find there is too much dust so I rotate three brands. I have a less dusty boy as a result. Oh and I use half of a cardboard box for side panels he sure likes to fling his back feet. I just change it out when it gets gross. We use a small rug from dollorama and it took care of the little rocks from when he steps out after litter use.

[@estrarubin4655]

I use Arm & Hammer Slide. My cats like it.
