Our Quick & Simple Guide To Changing Your Cat's Litter Tray

Changing your cat’s litter is a vital part of pet care. Follow this simple guide to ensure your cat stays comfortable and your home remains fresh.

Quick Steps for Litter Changing

1. Gather Supplies: Have a scoop, bio-degradable rubbish bag and our fresh 100% recycled paper litter ready.

2. Remove Used Litter: Scoop out waste daily. For a full change (every 2-4 weeks), empty the tray into a bio-degradable rubbish bag—don’t flush it.

3. Clean the Tray: Wash with mild soap and water. Avoid strong-smelling chemicals. Rinse thoroughly if disinfecting with bleach.

4. Dry Completely: Ensure the tray is fully dry before refilling.

5. Add Fresh Litter: Fill to 2-3 inches deep to reduce mess.

6. Reintroduce the Tray: Place the tray back in its usual spot. Gradually mix old and new litter if switching types.

Maintenance Tips

• Scoop Daily: Keep the tray clean to minimise odours.

• Choose the Right Spot: Place the tray in a quiet, low-traffic area.

• Clean Regularly: Wash the tray during full changes to maintain hygiene.

• Use Liners (Optional): Liners can simplify cleaning, but not all cats like them.

Switching to Recycled Paper Litter

• Start by mixing a small amount of recycled paper litter with the old type.

• Gradually increase the new litter over 1-2 weeks.

• Keep the tray clean to help your cat adjust.

• Slow the transition if your cat hesitates.

Handling Litter Rejection

If your cat rejects the new litter:

• Reintroduce the old litter and mix it more gradually.

• Test different textures or unscented options.

• Be patient and consistent.

Pro Tips for Success

• Choose eco-friendly litter to support sustainability.

• Maintain a cleaning routine for hygiene and comfort.

• Monitor your cat’s behaviour for signs of preference or discomfort.

By following these steps, you’ll keep your cat happy and make litter changing a manageable part of your routine.
