Keep your cat happy with less-sticky cat litter.
Clay cat litter is a popular product for housebound cats, because of its ability to stay relatively clean for longer periods of time than other types of cat litters. This cat litter has the ability to clump when liquids are placed on it, so it can be easily cleaned by scooping the clumped portion out of the box, leaving the remaining litter in place. Stickiness and dirtiness develop when the litter box is not taken care of regularly, which is a problem for both cats and their owners.
Instructions
1. Scoop the dirty litter out of the litter box daily to ensure that the rest of the litter remains non-sticky and clean.
2. Add litter-box deodorizer to the box weekly. This will help with the odor and overall stickiness of the litter box, as deodorizer usually contains baking soda, which helps separate dirty cat litter. Sprinkling plain baking soda into the litter box also works.
3. Change the litter entirely every two to four weeks, and clean out the box with soap, water and a disinfectant. This helps to keep the litter box clean, which keeps the litter from sticking to the edges of the box.
4. Fill the litter box three-fourths of the way full every time you fill it. After a few days of scooping, add more cat litter to the box. When a litter box becomes too empty, the liquid and clay may stick to the sides and bottom of the box.
