Ideally, you should scoop the box every day and clean the box once per week with pet-safe products. Cats are especially sensitive to loud and high-pitched sounds. Avoid unnecessarily noisy activities inside your home unless you can isolate yourself during these events or your cat has a place to hide if he wants to.

For maintenance cleaning, a built-in bag anchor at the front assists in holding a waste bag open as you scoop. And rinsing with soap and water is all that's required to fully clean the litter box. Catit also makes liners that can be placed in the bin under the litter making cleaning out the bin more streamlined. Freschet, G. T., Aerts, R., and Cornelissen, J. H. C. (2012a).

Some cat owners have the space to place the litter box in a little used area of the house where guests don’t have to stare at a cat toilet during game night. However, you may not have that option if you live in a small space. Thankfully, if you’re handy and have access to tools, you can craft your own litter box enclosure to keep your cat’s business out of sight (and maybe smell). Here are 16 DIY litter box enclosures you can build today. Kremer, K. N., Promis, Á. A., Mancilla, G., and Magni, C. R. (2019).
