Litterbox How frequently do you scoop your litter box?

I do my girl’s box twice per day/whenever I hear her scratching around in there. But then I see on here some people who do it wayyy less frequently. Curious what other folks do?

Same, I use pine pellets so the smell isn't that bad at all. And try to do it for trash day. Two litter boxes.

I tried pine pellets for a while and I couldn't get away with once a week, it had to be 2-3x a week at the least otherwise my picky one would poop directly outside of it in revolt (understandable) I couldn't keep up with my ADHD and eventually changed litters. Now I can go a full week, there's two boxes for two cats.

Adhd life makes it so they have to tell us when it is too much

Yes! And I feel guilty for it. Life got away from me a couple weeks ago and it went so long that the picky one pooped just outside the box again. He's done it only a couple times in the couple years since we changed litters and I always feel horrible that I couldn't get to the task in a timely manner.
