Why Litter Box Maintenance Is Very Important


Cats are fussy creatures and their litter boxes are no exemption to that. Owners who bought the wrong kind of litter boxes will only cause stress and anxiety to your cats; they will also try to avoid the box that they don’t like to use. Picking litter boxes can also be tricky for first-time owners. A cat’s litter box must always be cleaned and maintained for your cats to use. Forgetting to clean the litter box will only cause your cat to do their business elsewhere. Some cats will do it in the laundry basket and also in your clothes drawer. Maintaining a cat’s litter box is not hard but owners should have a daily routine in regulating the cleanliness of the box. Pet owners must remove all lumps inside the box and replace them with fresh litter, this process must be done daily. Thorough cleaning of the box will depend on your feline’s disposal behavior. Litter boxes must be cleaned weekly or even monthly, avoid using strong detergents when cleaning the box instead and use warm water. Strong detergents may leave an unwanted smell that will cause avoidance of your cat to the litter box. The cleaned litter box must be thoroughly dried before putting fresh litter inside. Several senior cats who avoid litter boxes may have pre-existing health conditions that must warrant a visit to your pet clinic Dahlonega GA.
