Under Cat Health+ Litter Box
By Andrew Manifield
Cats are unique pets because they do whatever they want and
aren’t even excited when people come home. A dog would jump and
bark while a cat might look in some ones direction and flick its
tale. It’s almost like people are to be servants to the cats –
or at least this is probably what the cat thinks anyway.
People are very busy in this modern life we live. However, if
someone has extra time, they may want to try some cat litter
experiments. You can begin this informal experiment by getting
different brands and types of cat litter. Cat litter
experiments should be written out to not mess up the experiment.
Buy different types and brands and get the prices handy as well
as the total volume and weight of each box or bag. See how the
cat likes the different brands available.
Your cat will probably not spend the time to talk to them to
you about it. So the person performing the cat litter
experiments will have to be where they notice the cat’s
attitude. Remember that while you do this, the cat will not be
happy. Cats like privacy the same way people do. If your cat
seems irritated, then the cat is happy. If a cat is not
irritated, then do something like petting or stroking it. That
will make the cat irritated and the cat litter experiments can
proceed. Once all of the different litters have been tried,
then begin to see how fast each type and brand of cat litter
lasts.
Results of Cat Litter Experiments
After all of the cat litter experiments have been conducted,
its time to tally all of the results. First and foremost, you
may not want to tell anyone that you performed this experiment;
people may think you have all the time in the world! But since
you have gone to the trouble of doing the experiment it is wise
to complete it by getting the results.
Usually, cat litter experiments will show which cat litter is
the best all around for both the cat and the owner and which is
the best value for money. All of that information will lead to
the top cat litters for you and they can then be narrowed down
to a list of a few top brands. One great byproduct of doing the
cat litter experiments is that the cat will probably stay
irritated at the owner for years to come. Remember this; an
irritated cat is a happy cat.

Under Cat Care+ Litter Box
By Julia Camden
Cats and their litter habits can be one of the main annoyances
of having a cat; it can often seem like they go to the bathroom
in places other than their litter box just to get back at you,
or annoy or get revenge on their owner somehow.
First of all, it is a myth that cats must be litter trained.
Cats are instinctively able to use the bathroom in the litter
box, but this makes other sand-like areas prone to defecation as
well, and that includes rock gardens, house plants, vegetable
gardens, or anything else of that nature.
Another one of the common litter-related problems that many
people experience with their cats is that they tend to spray to
mark their territory, and this is especially true with male
cats. In order to get your cat to be as gentlemanly as possible
when it comes to their litter habits, there are a few things you
can keep in mind that might help your case.
1. Location, Location, Location
Where you put your litter box has a great deal to do with how
willing your cat will be to use it, versus other areas in the
house. Wouldn’t you rather use the bathroom in a warm
comfortable area than a cold, dank one? For this reason,
basements, laundry rooms and other areas are not such a great
place to put the litter box.
Understandably, you probably want to put your litter box in a
remote area where people can’t see it and odors are less
offensive, but if you want them to use the box and not your
couch cushion, you should think twice about your location.
2. Consider the Litter
The litter that you use in your cat’s litter box is another
thing that must be taken into consideration. Cat litter with
large granules or a certain smell or texture that your cat does
not like or is not used to is a good way to discourage them from
using the box at all. It may cost a bit more, but the better the
litter, the more money you spend on buying a quality litter for
your cat box, the more inclined they will be to use that litter
box.
3. Keep it Clean
Cleaning your litter box as often as possible is the best way
to get your feline to use the litter box more consistently.
Think about it; do you want to use a nasty toilet? Cats are just
as finicky as you when it comes to where toileting is done, and
perhaps even more so.
If your cat is using other places than the litter box that is a
good indication that you aren’t keeping it as clean as they
would like. Consider self cleaning litter boxes that scoop waste
out of the bin shortly after it is deposited.
