How often to change cat litter for kittens
The frequency of changing cat litter mainly depends on the type of cat litter and the daily excretion volume of the cat. Generally, it is recommended to completely change the cat litter every 4 days. After changing the cat litter, the litter box needs to be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. In addition, it is recommended to scoop the excrement in the cat litter daily, creating a good environment for the cat to defecate and urinate.
It is generally recommended to completely change the cat litter for kittens every 3-5 days. Before laying new cat litter, the old litter should be cleaned up, and the litter box should be washed and disinfected as necessary. You can choose low-irritant pet disinfectants and avoid using irritating products such as 84. If the cat's daily excretion volume is large, the frequency of changing cat litter will increase. In addition, it is recommended to scoop the excrement in the cat litter at least once a day. If the excrement is not scooped for a long time, the cat may refuse to defecate and urinate in the litter box, defecating and urinating randomly at home. This is because cats are relatively clean animals.
There are many types of cat litter on the market, including tofu cat litter, bentonite cat litter, pine cat litter, and crystal cat litter. Tofu cat litter is generally recommended, as it is relatively affordable, has good water absorption, moisture absorption, and deodorization properties, and most importantly, does not produce much dust, being water-soluble and can be directly flushed into the toilet. Since cats spend a lot of time touching the litter, it is necessary to choose regular and qualified products, preferably with no smell or a light smell. If the smell of the cat litter is too strong, it will stimulate the cat's respiratory tract and even cause the cat to refuse to use this type of cat litter.
