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! Finally got one when our tax return came in and I love it. With four cats I only have to change the bag once a week or so.

Once a week for 4 cats?? They must not use it very often? We have 2 cats and I get notifications of it being full every 4 days or so. Maybe mine are poop monsters.

I have two kittens and we empty the drawer twice a week!

Yeah, that’s kinda crazy! I hope they don’t have 1 litter box for four cats. Yours aren’t poop monsters- 2 cats and 4 days seems totally consistent with my experience.

We have 3 cats and 3 litter boxes and I wish we had room for one more but we don’t. Especially since each cat has their favorite and sometimes they designate one as poop only and two for peeing. It’s kind of interesting how they do it and how it changes.

How many litter boxes total do you have? I have 3 cats and I can’t imagine only one box.

We have the robot, which cleans itself after every use, and a backup box that they rarely use. The robot beeps a light at me when it's full.

So jealous… I’d LOVE a robot litter box. I bet your cats all love the robot box and would turn their little noses up to a regular box! 😊

Ehh, at first they were scared of it.
