| Hi,
I have two cats and change the litter box once a week (scoop pops every
other day). But now that you mention it, the box doesn't smell when
I do change it, so maybe I can stretch the litter box changes to every
other week. Hmm...I'll have to see what the cats think about that.

| 497.3 | also, once a week | RTL::BENTON | | Thu Feb 11 1993 14:58 | 13 |
| I have 2 cats and 2 litter boxes. Once or twice a day I scoop the
solids and the wet spots, so that by the end of a week the litter
is getting pretty low. I usually change it when it gets low, which
is about a week to a week and a half. Maybe that's more frequently
than it needs to be changed, but after dealing with one cat in the past
with litter box problems, I'm happy to keep it extra clean in exchange
for their using it exclusively.
Hershey is so funny! She hates for me to scoop out the box and
disturb what she has carefully covered. She tries to cover stuff up as
soon as I uncover it. Now I have to sneak down to the basement while
the cats are eating to clean out the box.

| RE: .1
As far as the name goes, well, Farley just fit him. When I told a friend
what my new kitty's name was, she asked "What is he, a yellow tabby?" That's
him.
Thanks for all the input. I guess I'll let it go a couple more weeks and
see what happens. If I can keep a large amount of clay out of the landfills
and keep the cats happy too, then I think I'm way ahead.

| I'm amazed! When we have to keep out cats in, the litter tray needs changing one
a day, and the odour is really contained either. Is this clay litter some sort
of super-lit in (presumably) the States, or do you have outsize litter trays?

| Andy,
How many cats do you have? I have two cats and two litter boxes. The clay
I use is $9 for 50lbs, so, it's nothing special. Like I said in the base
note, it's rather dry here (Colorado Springs, Colorado). If I stir the
litter so that the wet part is no longer at the bottom, it's dry again in
half an hour.

| I've only got the two as well, but I reckon I live in one of the wettest places
in England.
Perhaps if I were to leave the tray on the radiator for an hour or so...

| 497.8 | okay.. | BICYCL::RYER | This note made from 100% recycled bits. | Fri Feb 12 1993 14:32 | 8 |
| 497.9 | Every day....some say... | MODEL::CROSS | | Tue Feb 16 1993 12:35 | 9 |
| My vet who was probably overly cautious used to insist that I fill my
boxes with only an inch of litter a day and throw the whole mess out
the next morning. She said that urine and feces can cause bacteria
to form within 24 hours, thus putting our felines at risk of disease
(like UTI's maybe?) Anyway, I never was able to be true to her
orders, and usually just change my boxes every week, scooping twice
or thrice a day.

| 497.10 | baking soda might help | EMASS::SKALTSIS | Deb | Tue Feb 16 1993 22:19 | 5 |
| if you were to coat the bottom of your litter pan with baking soda
and the remainder of the box in with the litter, I think that you will
be amazed at how it will help control the smell.
