OdourShield Cat Litter does not expire.

The amount used varies depending on the maintenance frequency as well as the number of cats in your household.

Store in a dry location. If the litter comes in contact with water, clumps will form. However, it will not be affected by humidity.

The general rule of paw is one litter box for each cat in the home, plus one more. That way none of them will ever be prevented from eliminating in the litter box because it's already occupied. It's not possible to designate a personal litter box for each cat in your household, as cats may use any litter box that's available. That means a cat may occasionally refuse to use a litter box after another cat has been in it. In this case, you'll need to keep all of the litter boxes extremely clean, and you might even need to add additional boxes. However, it's best not to place all the boxes in one location because your cats will think of them as one big box and ambushing another cat will still be possible. Finally, if your house has multiple stories, we suggest having at least one litter box on each story.

Keep the litter box in a spot that gives your cat some privacy but is also convenient. If the box is too hard to get to, especially for a kitten or an elderly cat, they just may not use it.

Avoid placing litter boxes next to noisy or heat-radiating appliances, like the furnace or the washing machine. Noises can make a cat nervous which could make them stay away from the litter box.

Put the box far away from their food and water bowls. Place at least one litter box on each level of your house. That way your cat has options if access to their primary box is blocked (the basement door is closed or your dinner party has them holed up in the bedroom.) If you have more than one cat, provide litter boxes in several locations so that one cat can't ambush another cat using the litter box.

If you keep the litter box in a closet or a bathroom, be sure the door is wedged open from both sides to prevent your cat from being trapped inside or locked out. Depending on the location, you might consider cutting a hole in a closet door and adding a pet door.

Felines prefer being safe in an uncovered box so that they can see potential threats and escape them. Also, cats prefer being able to comfortably jump in and move around in the litter box. Ease of entry and plenty of room are especially important for larger breeds, or older cats who may be arthritic. Kittens, too, may need litter boxes with lower sides.

To meet the needs of the most discriminating cat, you should scoop feces out of the litter box daily. How often you actually replace the litter depends on the number of cats you have as well as the number of litter boxes being used.

Twice a week is a general guideline for replacing your litter, but depending on your circumstances, you may need to replace it every other day or only once a week. If you clean the litter box daily, you might only need to change it every two to three weeks. Scrub the box every time you change the litter. Use mild dish detergent to clean it, as products with ammonia or citrus oils can turn a cat off, and some cleaning products are toxic to cats. Fill in with about 3-4 inches of fresh new OdourShield cat litter. Wash your hands thoroughly after handling used cat litter.

A cat that uses constantly a dirty litter box is an unhappy cat. The area where cats do their business is very important for them and the lack of cleanliness every time they need to use them makes them feel just as you would feel if you had to do your business in a dirty public bathroom every time.

Use a litter scoop to sift out urine clumps and stool and place in a small trash bag. Once all the boxes in your house are scooped, tie off the garbage bag in a knot. To prevent odor and bacterial leakage, double bag your scooped litter. Place in an outside trash can with a tight fitting lid. Use of biodegradable bags designed for cat litter is a great option.

Even though it may seem like a good idea, you should not be flushing your cat's litter or feces down the toilet. It could cause havoc on your plumbing, clog pipes and sceptic system. But most importantly, many municipal sewer systems cannot eliminate toxoplasma, a rather nasty organism sometimes present in cat waste, which can cause serious health problems to humans, and also, if release into the ocean, has been known to kill sea otters.

There's really no such thing as "litter training" a cat in the same way one would housetrain a dog. You actually don't need to teach your cat what to do with a litter box; instinct will generally kick in. You do need to provide an acceptable, accessible litter box, using the suggestions above.

It's not necessary to take your cat to the litter box and move their paws back and forth in the litter. If you move to a new place, however, you will need to show your cat where the box is.

If your cat begins to go to the bathroom outside the litter box, your first call should always be to your veterinarian. Many medical conditions can cause a change in a cat's litter box habits. Some common possibilities would include FIC (feline idiopathic cystitis), bladder stones, urinary tract infections, chronic kidney disease, diabetes, or hyperthyroidism. If your veterinarian examines your cat and gives them a clean bill of health, your cat may have a behavior problem that needs to be solved.

Punishment is not the answer, nor is banishing your cat outdoors. For long-standing or complex situations, contact an animal-behavior specialist who has experience working with cats.
