Remember That A Litter Box Is A Cat Toilet
When you use the toilet, you flush when you're done. But what if you didn't have the luxury of flushing? What if you had to smell everything you'd put in there over the last few days on top of the deposit you're leaving at the moment? Ok, that's gross to think about, but many cats have to endure this all the time. The litter box is a cat toilet. It's where they do their business and it's natural for them to go in this manner. A cat in the wild will urinate or defecate and then cover up their mess so that prey or predators don't know they're in the area. It's a means of hunting and of survival. So it's natural for them to use a litter box. It's natural for them to want to cover up their mess. But please, for your sake and for the sake of your cat, clean the cat toilet once in a while. Your house will smell better and your cat will be much better behaved.
Acting Out
If you had to smell your mess all the time, you'd be pretty unruly wouldn't you? Of course you would. It's no wonder, then, why your cat acts up when you don't change out their cat toilet often. If you don't change your cat's litter box, your cat has to smell all that mess and will act unruly, just as you would. They'll scratch your good furniture, they'll jump on your countertops and they might even pee on your countertops. No, your cat isn't sick, your cat is just mad at you. You need to change your cat toilet, it's litter box, once in a while so that your cat remains happy.
Why Does Your House Smell?
If you don't change your cat toilet, or the litter box as it's more commonly called, once in a while, your house will begin to stink. You may not notice it after a while, it's amazing what the nose will get used to over time, but your house guests will surely notice and they won't want to visit as often. So change that cat toilet for both you and your cat's sake.
It's Not Difficult
There are many options when it comes to changing your cat toilet, or litter box. They make scoopable litter that causes the urine and feces to clump together. You just scoop it out and throw it in a garbage bag and you're done. They also make sifter litter boxes where you lift one pan out of the other and the urine and feces remains in the sifter box and you throw the waste away. They also make automatic litter boxes that automatically scoop out the litter a few minutes after your cat uses the cat toilet. Then, when the receptacle becomes full, you lift it out and throw it away. With so many options available to you, there's no excuse for not changing your cat toilet every once in a while.
Believe me, if your cat could flush like we do, it would. It can't, however, so it's imperative that you change it's cat toilet as often as possible.
