Litter

Last edited 184 days ago by Keerthik O.

Daily management

Tobi is kinda sneaky and poops very quietly, and scrapes the same whether he pees or poops, so you may not know when he has gone (since the litter is covered/with a door). We suggest looking for poop once it has been 12-18h since you last successfully scooped, and checking every ~2h until there is poop.
Scoop any poop into one of the bins beside the litter. Hold your nose when you open the coffee tin and make sure to shut it tight when you're done!
Use the scooper to break up any pee clumps left in the litter, it should mix back in pretty easily. Scrape along the bottom really well as clumps often get stuck there.
Mix the litter to an even consistency.
Shake off litter from the scoop and return it to the holster.
You may want to run the vacuum around his litter area so you don't get stabbed in the foot by litter rocks, or further track the litter around the house/onto the bed while you're around.

Long-term litter management: replacing litter

The litter loses its ability to absorb his pee after about 8-9 days, and needs to be replaced. We would have placed fresh litter the day we left.
Normally we use the local petsitting service to handle refreshing this (see if any are scheduled). But in case you have to, the has detailed info to handle this.
