I always used to tell my kids to go cuddle the cat before cleaning out the litter box. It helped remind them how much they loved the cat and made the task be not so bad
That's a great idea. I'll try that with my kids!
That's pretty sweet Sharon. Did it work mostly? Cheers
I'm an adult and I do this
I don't understand why people hate cleaning the litter box. It takes maybe ten minutes, tops, per day. That's nothing. I have 3 cats and 6 litter boxes, I can do the lot in under 15 minutes and I sometimes clean them twice a day. Part of owning a cat is cleaning the litter box. Same as owning a dog means carrying dog-poop bags when you take them for walks.
Don't get a pet if you're not prepared to take care of it properly.
Thank you for your comment!👏
Exactly. Responsibility.
It is quick but some people who own cats have back problems and etc. So they avoid it because it = pain just like the cats avoid the box if it = pain. But comes down to those people need to work around it or shouldn't have pets with such needs. I had to clean my in-laws' cats' box and trim their nails because she couldn't do it. It was sad but also frustrating. I don't think she even had respect for the cats at the end of the day and she was only getting the pay-offs. I could only make it over once/ week so they got messier.
I agree. I'd rather spend the time scooping litter than dealing with the smell. If you clean the box often enough you don't need to worry about the smell at all.
@@FairandUnbalanced ~ Agree, I have 10 rescuee cats, all indoor furbabies and 20 litter boxes I scoop 3-4 times a day. No smells!! I ❣️them all.
I have one cat and one litter box because we live in a very small apartment. I clean it daily. Every now and then my kitty will sit outside the box and wail. I investigate and discover that she's been using it more heavily than normal and she probably can't find a place to do her thing, so I quickly clean it out and then she wastes no time using it.
The one thing I disagree with in Jackson's video has to do with liners. I don't trim my cat's claws at all, they are super-sharp and she never rips through the liner material. The problem with many liners is that the material is too thin. I use Pet N Pet liners which are both thick and large enough for my cat's large litter box. The material is about as thick as Jonny Cat Heavy Duty, which worked well on her previous smaller box. If your cat is tearing up its liner, opt for a more heavy-duty liner.
People in a situation like mine NEED liners because I live in an apartment building and there is no way to safely clean a litter box. If you live in a private home, you can get out the garden hose and with a little elbow grease, clean the box. I can't let letter get into the toilet, tub, or kitchen sink because litter will clog the plumbing.
Using a liner isn't even a choice. It's necessary.
When I was a kid we had 2 cats. When my dad cleaned out the litter box it was a high point for the cats. They would follow him around, meow with excitement, tails up high, and as soon as he was done they would get right in and start pawiing and scratching, whether they actually needed to use it or not. I haven't remembered this in years.
Lol that last sentence
You should show you cats in a video or how your house should look like with cats or something like that
YES! I want to see all these cat painting and other stuff Jackson has
There are several factors in treating cat spraying at home. One plan I found that succeeds in merging these is the Makale cat cure (check it out on google) without a doubt the most useful resource that I have ever heard of. look at all the extraordinary information .
I've been studying best treatment for cat spraying and found a great resource at Makale cat cure (google it if you are interested)
Once my roommate's cat came in to her room while we were both in there talking, hopped up on the bed, spun around a few times, looked her straight in the eye, and peed on her bed. Why? Because we hadn't scooped the box in a few days.
She didn't just pee in a corner, she said, "HEY! MY BOX IS DIRTY!! You brought this on yourselves."
hilarious! sorry but really funny :)
It’s behavioral, my bengal cat does this when she’s mad at me or wants more attention, she may have been jealous of you my dear! My cat is the best cat and never pees just to pee on my things anywhere in the house, but if she has access to the bedroom and wants to get my attention, this is her way. I’ve had her over four years and it’s happened a handful of times but never anywhere else. I just tell her she’s lost her privileges to the bedroom, she’s not happy but I cannot deal with a cat peeing on my mattress! It’s definitely behavioral though, did anything change recently or has your friend been working more? Simple changes can cause this but be thankful it’s not on everything and everywhere. Just deny access and maybe the cat will figure it out. 😉 Good luck!
😮😮😮 HAHAHA WOW !!! 😂😂😂
@@courtneylee5633 She told you the box hadn't been scooped for 3 days ! Being a cat owner, I'm sure you realize the litter box probably had no stepping room without walking in urine/poop ! Cat's won't walk on it ! I agree it's out of character for an otherwise well behaved cat to go on your bed, especially with you there ! But maybe this cat was an exception. Ha
🤣
After a year of dealing with my kitty struggling with major constipation issues, I get excited every time she uses the litter box. It’s not a chore to me but rather a relief. We finally got the right vet to help us resolve the issue. Keep that in perspective and be glad your kitty is alive and healthy while cleaning the box.
We had an automated litter box once, one of the cats loved it. She would get in it and get out just to watch it move, then get back in and out over and over to watch it.
Are you sure she did’nt had to go, but was afraid of it?😂😅
Thank you for posting this. A staunch dog-only person with two chihuahuas, I recently found a tiny kitten that raced across a busy parking lot and cowered behind a planter at a McDonalds after leaving the gym one day. Brought it home but all the shelters and rescues were full - kitten season was something I never heard of. Took it to the vet for an upper respiratory infection and conjunctivitis only to discover it had FHV, so the potential adopter I had couldn’t take her as she has two cats, it’s highly contagious and the kitten is symptomatic. So here I am with two dogs and a cat and no idea what to do with her. The litter box was the most challenging aspect…getting her to use it, figuring out which box worked best, what litter to use. Videos like this have been a lifesaver.
I hope you find a way to rehome the kitty soon. I've been feeding a stray cat for 2 years and am soon moving away to a condo where pets are not allowed. Desperate now to find her an owner so that she can still be consistently fed ;(
My cat Claire and I are shown at 6:05. Total shock!
She is so precious! She sits on your head! Love that! What a darling! 😻
That clip is so heartwarming :)
Haha:) She looks exactly like mine
Did you send that clip in at some point or did they just randomly find it?
Beautiful ❤️
Do humans like to "go" in a dirty toilet??? Hmm 🤔🤔 so why expect your kitty to??
Exactly exactly
You'd be surprised how many people do not care about that at all...
But they do, people are nasty🤦🏻♀️
I can honestly say that I have cleaned the litterbox every time they pee or poo and I have never had an accident problem. They have never gone anywhere other than the box. Love you Jackson. I've learned from you for years now and love all your content. Cant wait for more.
I tried to follow litter box rules but my cats have spoken, they enjoy an enclosed litter box and they love to share and ignore the 2nd box
I have a routine to clean my cats litter before I turn off all my living room lights before bed. :) the one thing that really helps to prevent smells and make my life easier is to use a good foot operated bin so I can place the waste in the bin easy and trap any smells. That and using a good clumping cat litter.
Also, I use large but low storage containers (without the lid) so that my two cats don’t have to fuss so much over the spacing of the box as I find the shop bought ones to often be too small for them to try and avoid stepping on their own waste (which one of my cats hates a lot as the other doesn’t bury waste well, but they do try their best)
Storage containers is a good idea!
I am one of those cat guardians that just doesn't get what is so off putting about cleaning a litter box... I do it twice a day and love it when i see nice big poops and pee balls- means the cats are healthy:-)
I used to use scented litter... until I realized that the litter box smell was wayyyy worse with scented litter. My litter boxes are far less noticeable now that I used an unscented clay litter, put a deep layer in the box, clean daily (sometimes twice daily), and scrub it out completely every couple of weeks.
I also use a plug-in charcoal air filter near the litterbox. It doesn’t give off a scent, but it does seem to help control the smell a bit.
Now, a question I still have: what the heck do I do about litter scatter? I use high sided boxes, litter mats, a roomba, and a hand-held vacuum and there’s still litter grit... everywhere. Floor, furniture, sometimes even seems to make it into bed. My cats rejected pellet litter, so I’m kind of stuck with clay. Any tips?
flawlix - I use all natural cedar bedding. The least expensive, and organic/all natural, is a brand called "Pets Pick". My husband did his research (he knows I'm picky) and found it at WalMart. I think my local stores realized that it's being sold quite a bit and now have a near surplus. The cedar still "covers" or "masks" the odors the way that pine does. I would have kept using pine, but my husband prefers the red cedar, and that is my compromise - the red cedar smells pleasant and everyone's happy. Yes, Pets Pick has Northern White Pine as well.
Jackson, I adore cats, and you!. Thank you so much for being there for us. I have learned so much from you!. Thank you again!
Omg it’s me! I’m Casey!
I’ve never had litter box issues so I haven’t watched this vid till a friend sent it to me
LOVE YOU JACKSON
That's awesome!!!
I love you. You are truly a celebrity to me and thankyou for helping cat. 👄👄💜💜✌
He just reached 500K
im getting my bengal kitten in june, im adopting her. first cat since being an adult. im 30 this year. i even have a litter box waiting for her in my bedroom. my room will be home base for her, and she can free roam as much as she wants. i will also have 4 litter boxes around the house for her. i also have a bunny rabbit, who also uses a litter box in her room. she has her own bedroom, lol. cant wait to get my kitten home. she'll be around 13 weeks. shes 7 weeks at the moment. super exciting!!
I highly recommended wood pellets as litter. When they get wet they break down into dust, making it easier to separate out the used from the clean. My eldest boy wasn't using the litter tray to poop, only going on the floor nearby. He'd been fine for ages then just started not wanting to use the litter any more. Since using the wood pellets he hasn't gone once on the floor, for whatever reason he's more comfortable with them. They also produce hardly any dust and what you have to throw away is a lot lighter than clay.
I use dry wall mud tubs from Lowes. Extremely cheap ($ 6.00 - $20.00), extremely durable for liter tubs, with wood pellets. I get my wood pellets at Tractor Supply. $7.00 - $9.00 for a 50 pound bag. Extra large for cats. This is healthier for cats, they are not breathing in chemicals.
How the hell do u separate those pellets
@@lieselotl6319 When the pellets get wet they fall apart, into dust, so I put a colender/wide holed sieve over a small bin, dump everything into it, shake it out, and then put the remaining pellets back in the tray. It sounds like a lot of work but it's about the same as before, plus the tray doesn't end up soaking wet from pee smothered clay.
@@preciousinfinity I've used those pine pellets from Tractor supply for years now! I'm curious as to where you get that sieve you're referring to? Sounds like a fantastic idea lol Thanks!
I've been trying to get my cat to use the pine pellets but all she wants to do is pull one out of the box and play with it. Any recommendations for making the transition easier?
LOVE JACKSON and how he helps people and cats coexist. He IS the Cat Whisperer.
:-D
I just love your videos, and I try to teach people around me more about cats and I always tell them to watch your videos. And thank you for talking about litter genie, it has made my life so much easier. And my boyfriend is really happy that we got one.
Awesome tips and great gloves!! Thank you
Also get a metal kitty litter scoop. The ones that look like tiny rods put together. They work great.
As ı was watchıng you. My cat jumped on my bed and cuddled up to me.
Very helpful information! Thank you Jackson Galaxy
Your videos are so helpful!!! Thank you for another great video!
I thought I knew how to handle my litter boxes until I was caring for a blind kitten. I learned so much and can't agree with these things more.
you are SO brilliant. As a (human type) physician - how often i ask people - "have you seen blood in your urine" - or your feces? - or ...hell..Whatever?!...and the same ones who don't bother to check their own - i would imagine, have never checked their (at risk) children, and (perhaps even MORE at risk) cats and dogs. "There ought to be a law" (as my Grama would say). If it is too much bother or "eww" to change a box once or twice a day (and look at the stuff for your baby's health)- you don't deserve the magic of a cat, a dog, or a human child. My professional opinion. db, MD
Yep! Keeping my cat's clean every day!
Thank you so much! I paused the video & immediately removed the citrus air freshener near their box 😮
We are so grateful for you & brain & your love for cats 🐈
God bless you Jackson, your advices help me a lot!
My boys box is in my living room and my place does not stink. My friends and family just know my cat is my baby and it is what it is. I clean it every day and works for us.
But what to do if your cat decides to make your bedroom corner a toilet I can't let him poop in my bedroom I could put litter box in there but when you sleep you dont want to smell cats fresh poo
Lol I keep the litter box in my living room too! They walk in when I’m in the bathroom so.... we have no privacy in this house 😂
Thank you so much! I was looking for a reason why my kitten wouldn’t use her litter box and your second tip solved my problem. Her litter had a strong scent and I guess that’s what was causing her not to go in it. I changed litters and she went instantly!
My husband finds it weird that I can identify each cats poop... but I find it reassuring so if there is an issue I know what cat it is!!! I also have 3 cats and 5 litterboxes and I scoop upwards of 6 times a day... I also use an all natural wood clumping litter that's flushable! It's super great! And since I scoop so much I don't need to do a full clean that often either which saves me money coz the litter I use isnt cheap... but I have clay litter allergy so it's worth it! I love my cats they bring me joy everyday! Although I'm still fighting with the oldest as he pees on my front door coz he wants back outside but hes not allowed coz he likes to fight the colony cats I care for and get abscesses... but since he peed on my door 2 years ago and I let him out he thinks it will still work .. ugh... lol cats are funny!
What is the litter you use? My cats will use tidy cats litter as well as the crystal litter.
@@rebeccalucas6063 I use okocat litter. It's the only litter my current cats have ever known! Finding a non clay litter that also didnt set off my allergies or smelled awful took quite some time... but I'm happy with my choice!
@@fireworksgirl4096 Thanks, I'll look for it.
@@rebeccalucas6063 you'll most likely find it online. At least around where I live they stopped selling in it in stores
@@fireworksgirl4096 Ok, I've never seen it at PetSmart.
What a great video and a great gift from your friend!! Thanks for all your advice.
My kitten is about nine weeks old and when he first went in the litter box I was so proud of him. So I have created one of my bathrooms to be his room. He has toys in there and his litter box and he is just the best kitty cat in the whole world. I’m so proud of him. He has not gone outside of the litter box one time. And when I walk past the litter box it always looks clean because he covers everything up. But I do clean it a few times today.
I’m so relieved to learn about this. You have no idea!!!
I NEED to buy those gloves!! So awesome !
My previous cat used to flick out what she had done,she was so enthusiastic about scraping over. I found it rather endearing.
So true on the no scents. I only use the feliway plugins. No liners! No automated boxes. Great info!
This is the best video! Every possible reason for cats to be like "ew, not peeing there!" explained. I hadn't even thought of the air freshner thing.
Thank you so much
Excellent!! You;re the Best !!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the help!
Can you do a video about who cares for your 8 cats - full time, when you’re away, etc.? thx 😻
I love your advice.
I have two cats and they have two litter boxes. Both cats uses both boxes. So they are so funny! Hugs from Norway.
I clean the litterbox once a week and that works great. The box is also large enough for 3 cats so that helps a lot. My cat is nice enough to meow at me and walk over to her litterbox if she thinks it's too full. Gotta love her for that.
I never mentioned having multiple cats. I'm saying the litterbox is 3x bigger than it needs to be and that helps create a buffer for time. Ontop of that I keep the sand levels high so she has lots to dig into.
🤢🤢🤢
I love Jacksons fashion.
Thank you for your advice! My 12 yr old cat began to almost pee outside of the box. I have two boxes for her, so, I lower the level in one of them. Also immediately she chose the lowered litter. Thanks for your help.
hands down, the coolest Catman on the internet!!
Scented litter makes me have violent allergic reactions. For years, I thought I was allergic to cats. Then I read a vet's site who recommended using scent free litter because people are often allergic to the chemicals put in the cat and pet supplies -- not to cats per se. The pet products industry is /not/ regulated and much of it is made in China. It's crazy. Voters - you need to demand that pet products are consumer products and need to be regulated. Now I have a cat and because I use unscented pine litter, I can hug and kiss my cat - the first cat in my lifetime where I do not have an anaphylactic reaction
I'm very sensitive to scents as well. I've got asthma and I know strong scents like perfume and cologne are one of the triggers for my chronic migraines as well. It can be extremely difficult to find scent-free products. I've still not found a scent-free body soap that I like. I can tolerate Dove's white soap smell, but I don't exactly like it. I'm really limited on my deodorant options as well.
@@SadisticSenpai61 I feel you! Have you ever heard of the Unscented Company? They have it all from soaps to laundry to deodorant! Cheers :)
Can I pls get a link for the i scented pine litter ??
Thank u
The clay stuff smells horrible and I just feel like I cat breath around it
The clay litters are bad for asthma and other lung conditions plus it has perfumes/chemicals usually so it is terrible for my allergies. I cant go near it without a bad allergic reaction
Om
My Goodness I couldn’t figure out why , I was having a reaction
Thank you for sharing this. I am having litter box problem with my newly adopted cat and I was trying to train him. Somehow he doesn't poop in it rather he poops outside. Now I understand I am making few mistakes here which you have stated. Sand is scented. Although I clean litter box daily. And his previous owner didn't use sand at all in litter box. Somehow he is not comfortable with sand. Gotta try changing sand from scented to unscented one. I hope he just feels comfortable going in it.
Those gloves are adorable
Thanks so much for your help my cat is thanking you
Thanks for the info. I was about to purchase a bunch of electrical litters
I do like the hint of giving them their own box. I have 2 cats and 2 trays in different parts of the house. I just didn't think to return the cleaned, ran under the tap (faucet) washed and dried try back to the same location.
love your gloves ...
Miss Priss would regularly pee right outside the litter box. The litter box could be freshly scooped and she'd still go right outside the box. It didn't matter how many litter boxes Mom got either. I suspect it had to do with the fact that her front claws had been declawed (it was done before we adopted her from the animal shelter). So there are cats where it's much more complicated than just keeping a clean litter box.
I do need to get downstairs to clean the downstairs litter box more often. Sarah and Willow tolerate it for quite some time as long as the two upstairs are clean, but eventually one of them just poops right outside the box to say "Hey! Get down here and scoop!" My partner has severe nerve damage and I've got hip dysplasia, so getting up and down the stairs is rather difficult for both of us and I'm able to get up and down the stairs easier than him. It's no excuse, I just need to do it more often.
And yes, unscented litter is essential! Perfumed litter is nasty smelling! We ordered some litter shortly before we went into quarantine and unfortunately it stinks (it didn't say it was perfumed online), so it's become the "emergency" litter if we run out and can't get more for awhile. Our cats prefer So Fresh from Pet Co or Pet Smart... I can never remember which one is in our town.
hi Jackson Galaxy I am from canada and i agree with you that cats should not go outside with out a lead and that cats should only eat meat i wach yoour show all the time you rock keep up the good work
sweet gloves!!!!
Miss your videos!!!
Our cats love a clean box
This is random, but I really love the bass in the intro jingle.
6:52 C'mon Jackson missed opportunity... They are definitely 'Kitten Mittens'!
My cat is fussy when it comes to litter. Thankfully the pet store I go to has a good return policy, I've had to return several kinds of litter till we landed on one she would use. We tried non clumping, scented, pellets, almost everything.
She finally decided on unscented clumping litter.
I LOVE my litter genie. I owned one before watching this. I end up cleaning the box more often because I don’t have to go all the way to my apartments dumpster to throw out poop once a day
does it really work?have you tried using your own bags or just the refills?
The gloves. What’s up with them? Need info. Desperately want to order a pair. I scanned comments, probably too fast to notice a post about them (if one is there).
Casey...(that’s her name right?)...show yourself! Promote your wares :)
Nice Silver Face Fender 🎸🤘
Those gloves are A+++
We just rescued a kitten. We are so excited!! I LOVE kitty’s. And I made such great points. I screwed up by getting the Scented litter. She has done great then today I found some poo in the floor. I really think my 7yr son had something to do with it. But either way. Tomorrow morning we are going to the store and changing Shadows litter.
Geez- It's not that hard to clean a litter box people! Unscented litter, clean box regularly, several times a day!
laurah6381 Exactly.
not to mention simply cleaning them with very hot water is enough. I mean how many owners and especially first time cat owners do the mistake of washing the boxes with something very strongly scented and then they are confused why the cat suddenly doesn't want to use the box?
I use an apple box, no cleaning cause it's disposable
Yeah I don't understand people will take dogs out for walks multiple times a day (well, some people do 😒)
but they can't scoop a litter box at least once or twice
My cat goes about 2 a day! I have him trained to go on newspaper! I clean it immediately after and spray the spot with vinegar and water!
I praise my babies for using their box sooner that than the carpets 😋
My cats attack each other while in the litter box. I have litter boxes throughput the house. How can I stop them from doing this?
Cool gloves!
When you talked about the liner...
Well....
One of my cats DOES NOT STOP SCRATCHING IN THE LITTERBOX.
We had to replace the door of the box a few times.... and when the flap was not there?! Did not matter! Scratch the entire box!
Ow and when he does that the most (besides every time)?! When you try to sleep :')
In order to have my cat, I must use an automated lotter box. I found out after I'd adopted him that I'm allergic to cats. He's always had an automatic litter box, so he's ok with its sounds. I can see how a box malfunction could freak him out. That said, I've replaced them each time I've noticed any issues. It's all about Sargie, after all. He's my baby!
Glad you kept him.
Patricia Araujo My cats’ vet used to have a strong allergy towards cats. Can you imagine being a vet and having an allergy?? Absolutely horrific! Fortunately, she started getting allergy vaccines and after a two year treatment she’s allergy free. She’s even adopted two furry friends now! And my bf is also getting allergy treatment (for a different type of allergy though) and it has completely changed his life. I strongly recommend this for people suffering from an allergy!
Totally understand, I'm super allergic too and changing litter sets off the allergies like nothing else! I use the corn/wheat litter and since it has little to no dust that works great. If you're looking for another solution, you could try that. Also, I use a dander reducing pet wipe each day and that helps so much I can actually cuddle them. Best of luck!!
love the gloves cat daddy! :3
Yay new video!!! 💖💖💖
I have 3 cats and my house doesn't stink. I have a huge litter box. I clean it twice a day. I use clumping sand. Really good for the smell. But I will buy another box. Thank you Jackson
6 cats, 8 boxes! That's alot of poo and pee. Love you Jackson. Longtime fan.
My female was spraying and peeing inappropriately. I bought a second box and used the cheapest clay litter and she took to it like a champ.
Target's brand litter is a good clumping litter. 7.00 for a 20 pound container. I buy 7 or 8 at a time. Works great, cat's love it
I quite like the box liners! I have never had a problem with rips or nails getting stuck.
Love the gloves. I want some and I will pay💜
I've been considering the automatic litter machines but decided against cos of my cats would definitely not use it. So back to conventional litter tray, scoop regularly and thoroughly clean. I do use a litter bag though cos it helps with litter disposal.
Can you make a video about the wood pellet systems?!
We just adopted two cats from a shelter and the shelter told us under no circumstance should we get an automatic cleaner. Apparently some cats have even gotten their paws trapped in them and gotten hurt! It's just not worth the risk.
I’m expert with litter box cleaning I buy Boxie Cat litter it only has to be changed every 6 weeks. I also use dig in pumpkin powder give them nongrain can and dry Firm up Diggin pumpkin powder every day morning and evening it cuts the size of the stool and smell. I also use Cat Odor off spray wipe sides down bamboo bags I’m set no odor!
How did you manage the odor from the litterboxes? What types of boxes do you have? How often do you scoop? And do you have an air purifier?
When you use clumping litter theirs no need to dump whole box unless you neglect it, i use clumping fresh step and scoop everyday, I never dump the whole box, that’s a chore! Lol! The box stays clean if you scoop regularly, it’s not that hard if you love your 🐈
Hi Jackson. Thanks so much for all your great content. I've been learning a lot about different topics around having cats. I really appreciate the variety of content you provide and how you dive into it and also makes it fun to listen to. Now, onto my questions.
My cat is super clumsy with the litter box. He's very often stepping in his own poop while trying to bury it (excessively) and me and my partner have to often check if he's not having poop on his paws after pooing, because this happens frequently. I was wondering if it is normal that my cat has this so often and was wondering if you have any ideas/tips on what I can do about it. We're not using any bags. We use litter that is really fine/small, without scent and which creates clumps.
My second question is what I can do so my cat doesn't play in the litter box. Especially after I cleaned the litter box fully he just gets crazy and plays and throws all the litter around. But he also sometimes plays/rolls around in it when we cleared out the pee and poop in the litter box. Obviously I don't really like the though of him maybe rolling around in remaining chunks or urine or poop that I might have missed. So my question is, do you have any ideas/thoughts on why he is doing it and what can we do so he stops playing/laying around in the litter box? We often try to distract him with a toy, but he often loses his focus and goes back to the litter box again to play/lay around in it. We clean his litter box thoroughly every 1 - 2 weeks and scoop out his poop right after he poops (his poop sadly smells a lot often haha) and take out the urine clumps once every day as well.
Hope you can help us out. Looking forward to your ideas/thoughts! Thanks!

lots of catlove😻😻from from to n Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
What type of litter does Jackson have for his fur babys
sustainably yours. he endorses it ☺️
I haven't been able to see the video and I would really love to see it. Is there anyway I can see it because I would love to know the information thank you love what you do.
Three litter boxes around our house,uncovered and exposed to the guests with freshly cleaned litter daily. Stir it up and the pretty litter takes care of itself.
I took your advice last year and now “flush” the litter box after each pee and poop! So easy - she basically does both right after breakfast- done. Then once or twice in a day she’ll pee - done. At night, the only bummer is if she poops after I’ve gotten into bed. Smelly for the first few minutes! If I can’t stand it, I’ll get up and scoop. Yes, the litter box is in my room, by my bedside, next to the window in case it gets, temporarily, smelly. No guest to our small 2-bedroom apartment has ever smelled a cat! Thanks Jackson for catifying the nation! 💕
What do you mean by flushing the litter? If you dont mind me asking. Or if u could reply with a link to the video where he talks about it, it would be appreciated
matteo ramirez Hi, I just meant that I scoop for her. Just like I would flush the toilet after I pee, I scoop the litter box for her after she pees 😆
Ooh, well that makes sense. Thanks 👍
I was given a free litterRobot by a friend, and my younger cat was obsessed with getting it to rotate and dump. He would trigger it and stand with his head inside to watch it go around hahahaha
They both like it, it helps me with my executive dysfunction, and they also have a normal box with flushable litter in the bathroom. The one cat is a robot-only cat, the other only pees in the normal box and poops in the robot hahahaha
Do you have a recommendation on a specific type of litter to use? I want to make sure I get something my new kitty will like but at the same time has odor control. I am scooping the litter box every day but when the poop or pee hits the litter it creates a powerful scent.
