Choice of cat litter
Feet feel good: Cats like litter with feet that feel close to the sand, which makes them feel natural and comfortable.
No irritating odor: Cat litter should avoid strong irritating odor, so as not to cause adverse effects on the cat's respiratory system.
Non-clinging: The texture of the cat litter should be moderate, and it is not easy to adhere to the cat's PAWS, reducing the trouble of cleaning.
Good deodorization effect: For the scoop officer, the cat litter with good deodorization effect can significantly improve the indoor environment.
Good caking effect: Cat litter that is easy to caking is easy to clean and reduces the waste of cat litter.
Highly soluble and dust-free: This litter is more friendly to your cat's respiratory and urinary tract, while also facilitating the disposal of waste.
Prepare the litter box
Choose the right litter box: The litter box should be large enough to be at least 1.5 times the length and width of your cat's body so that your cat has enough room to turn around and bury waste. Litter box types are open, top in and closed, and can be selected according to your cat's toilet habits.
Location: The litter box should be placed in a quiet, hidden position, away from the cat's nest and cat bowl, to reduce the cat's tension and stress.
Laying of cat litter
Laying thickness: The laying thickness of the cat litter is recommended to be 5-10 cm to avoid sticky bottoms and reduce odors. The thickness can be adjusted according to the type of litter and your cat's digging habits.
Even laying: The litter should be evenly laid in the litter box to ensure that the cat can be buried smoothly when excreting.
Daily cleaning and replacement
Regular cleaning: The litter box should be cleaned at least 1-2 times a day to keep the litter clean and dry. Multi-cat homes should clean the litter box more frequently to reduce bacterial growth.
Observe the cat's excretion status: When cleaning the litter box, the excretion officer should observe the cat's excretion status to understand the cat's health status.
Replace the cat litter: It is generally recommended to replace the cat litter every 7-14 days, and the specific time can be adjusted according to the use of the cat litter and the amount of cat excretion. The litter box should be cleaned every half month to a month, soaked for half an hour with a cat-specific cleaner or disinfectant, then rinsed and dried.
Matters needing attention
Avoid frequent litter type changes: Frequent litter type changes may cause your cat to become unaccustomed to the new litter and refuse to use the litter box.
Reduce dust during transportation: Regardless of the type of litter you choose, dust production during transportation should be minimized to protect your cat's respiratory system.
Retain the original cat litter and feces: When replacing the cat litter, retain some of the original cat litter and cat feces in the new cat litter to help the cat adapt to the new litter.
