How often should you scoop the litter tray?
Scoop the litter tray at least once a day. This keeps smells down and gives your cat a clean place to go.
Cats are clean animals and avoid a dirty tray, so they may go elsewhere. Scooping daily keeps the tray inviting and limits smells. You also replace all the litter weekly.
- Scoop out clumps and droppings
