You're Setting Up Your Litter Box All Wrong

I love the wheat hull litter I've used for the past 20 years. All my cats have loved it too. I do not understand why people think scented litter is good.

When I lived in an apartment, smell was an issue. I bought a Litter Robot (the OG version) and used store brand clumping litter from my local supermarket. My two cats took to this setup instantly. I still have the same automatic litter box, it’s easy to repair and parts are cheap… it outlived my two furry pals. We got two new kittens a few years ago and they too enjoy the litter box. It’s always clean and pretty much free of odours.

I took my tabby kitten to be spayed years ago. When she got home, she forgot how to poop in the box and for years would poop just outside the box on the floor. She's 10 now and I still have to remind her to "poop in the box." She gets it, and I am still amazed she understands me. Good girl. 🐾

Great job, I hope people will listen to your advice, I read so many post on FB groups where people has constant issues with this. I have six cats and Have been using pine pellets for over 5 years now. There are litterboxes in every room and some rooms has two boxes, I use both open and large furniture so they all have a choice. I have no litterbox issues with none of my cats. It's finding the right set up for your cats and I dont get why it's so hard for so many people.

My cats HATE the wood and recycled paper litter. They only like the clumping, unscented litter. They were outdoor cats until October so we’ve been really working to find what works.

The wood bedding pellets from Tractor Supply are excellent.

I use an under the bed plastic storage container. Of course its not under anything. It's a big long one that you can buy for under $20.00. I clean their business out every day and give it a deep cleaning a couple of times a month using dawn dish soap ( small amount ) and bleach water and give it a good rinsing and drying.

TY for that info your channel it's always loaded with simple but useful tips

It took years of frustration to find a litter my cat would use .. He prefers the wood shavings you use for guinea pig caged If he couldn't go outside ..he would avoid his litter trays until i found the small pet bedding.. It also masks any odours

The Litter Robot has been the best purchase. In the long run, it saves on cost of litter. No more dust, less tracking, and happy feline friends.

I have 4 cats,l had 3 large litter trays,they all used the same one,so l reduced down to 2 and they all still use the same one😂

We've used World's Best litter for years - corn based, no dust or scent.

I got a stainless steel lasagna pan with high sides. It does not absorb odor like the plastic ones & my cat likes how spacious it is. It is about 15 x 23 x 6 inches. Good video.

I've always used wood chip being the most 'natural' product available - but it is very lightweight. Now only yesterday there was a massive spill from the litter box - almost half the contents tipped onto the floor - fortunately nothing too 'horrid'! - cats just love to perch on the side! While watching your video I had a brainwave - whether it works or not time will tell. What I am going to try is placing a brick wrapped in a plastic bag or cling film - to discard/rinse off regularly - at one end of the box in the hope that this will counter-balance the cats resting their entire weight at the other end as they take a pee! Worth a try anyway.

Thank u so much Great tips Highly appreciated❤

Have owned cats for over 45 years (yep, I’m older) and I will do anything to keep my babies be happy/ content. Am open to trying new litter/ pellets with my newcomers. Am not willing to place litter boxes all over the house, however. I have never encountered any problems with one larger box for two cats—-& cleaning 3x daily. I too now have privacy screens to keep the box out of sight & give them their space/ solitude. One if the biggest issues to me is having safe & healthy cats. If a kitten never goes outside, it cannot miss what it doesn’t know. Healthy, nutritionally balanced, emotionally happy cats seem more able to be comfortable re: their ‘poop’ places, or palaces. Healthy kitties require fewer vet visits too 😻

1. I buy large clear storage containers, and line them with the jumbo disposable cardboard liners that you can get online. If I think my cat has trouble getting in and out I cut down one side. Then you don't need those lids to keep the litter from being scattered. 2. For the litter mat., look for the mats that have two layers. The top layer has holes so it falls through to the bottom layer. "Double layer trapper pad " - the best kind of mat you can find. 3. Whatever makes you think those wood pellets are softer than crystal litter? And who wants composted cat waste? Seriously doubt this is approved for gardens.

I am always cleaning the litter box and he walks in between my legs to go pee. He's too funny, he's a feral cat I took in because he became sick outside and now he's staying. It's so funny when you bring a feral cat inside they never want to go outside ever again.

The best litter I have found World’s Best clumping litter. Available from Pet’s At Home, on line. It’s expensive but because it clumps you only throw away a small amount every day.

I have 7 cats of different ages and sizes, all Ragdolls. I tried so many types of litter before in a hope to find the perfect one which will tick all my requirements boxes and I found wooden pellets work the best! First it has a natural wood smell and absorb bad odour. I get pine pellets and the litter smells so good and fresh, it smells like a Forrest Second: After this litter gets wet it absorbs the liquid quickly and it starts to break down into a saw dust. The saw dust is soft and doesn’t stick to the paws like other litter especially clay. Third: it’s very easy to clean, I never use any liners, I scoop out the hard bits and the litter which is already wet leaving the rest of dry litter in the box. Then I can top up if needed and it’s good to use again! Cats really like it and I like it too, there is no litter outside the box as pellets don’t stick to the paws . And most of all when changing the litter you are not going to be suffocating be a of the smell, if you clean regularly then litter stays fresh and doesn’t smell.
