Every 2-4 weeks for clumping litter (with daily scooping). Non-clumping may need weekly changes. Always clean the box when changing litter.
Yes, especially if you or your cat have respiratory sensitivities. Dust can irritate lungs and contribute to asthma in both cats and humans.
Check local regulations—many areas prohibit it due to Toxoplasma risk to marine life. When in doubt, bag and trash it.
Common reasons: dirty box, wrong litter type, stress, or health issues. Try different litters, ensure cleanliness, and consult your vet if it persists.
The rule is one box per cat plus one extra. Place them in different, quiet locations around your home.
Many cats dislike and avoid scented litter. Fragrances can also mask health issue signs. Unscented with good odor control is usually better.
