Rule #2: Clean your litter box regularly, if not every day. Most people don’t clean their litter boxes regularly enough. They should wash it with warm soapy water monthly.

Rule #3: Always make sure you have one more litter box than the number of cats you have. If you have three cats, try to have 4 litter boxes in the house. This may sound like a lot, but cats need privacy and they like their territory.

Rule #4: Avoid automatic litter boxes. These boxes can make a lot of noise, even the ones with a time delay. This noise can easily scare cats away and in the end, you wasted a lot of money.

Rule #5: Buy a bigger litter box – Most of the litter boxes you see in supermarkets are too small for adult cats. Go to pet stores and buy a nice big one.
