Cat Litter Mistakes Pet Owners Make!

 

Today, we will talk about cat owners' litter problems.

Firstly, some ask if we can use normal sand rather than litter sand. Yes, but there are some cons you should be aware of. For example, sand won't be able to help minimize the smell. You will then have to change its sand every single day. So, I recommend using average litter if you have an indoor cat.

Some people suggest wooden litter. Wooden litter is basically wooden pallets. I have never used wooden litter, but it is cheap, and you don't have to put any scent in either. Don't use clumping litter that has a smell to it. Wooden litter is best because it's cheap and won't smell when your cat litter in it. However, it's a little different, and you will need to learn & put effort into how to use it.

You must have a suitable litter available for your cat. 

If your cat is litter trained but has stopped using its litter box, there could be several reasons! There could be a physical problem in your cat. In this situation, you need to visit the vet. Litter sand plays a massive role in deciding whether your cat will use its litter box or not. So make sure you use the suitable litter sand and make your cat/kitten as comfortable as possible. You must also have the correct litter box available for your cat. It shouldn't be either too small or too big.

Some owners leave litter trays next to their cat's food. Cats are very hygienic animals and don't like anything unhygienic near their food. Furthermore, clean your cat's litter tray at least once a week. Scoop your kitty's litter out 2/3 times a day. These things will determine whether your cat uses its litter tray or not.
