10. We are a 2 cat household with 3 litter boxes

Our neutered male cat uses the litter box with no problems. Our spayed female cat is the one that has litter box problems. We do not have any covered litter boxes and neither of our cats are declawed. She is very particular about how clean the boxes are and what type of litter she uses.

I really liked the Fresh Step non clumping litter because I didn't have to chisel the bottom of the pans. Not only did Fresh Step starting adding toxic Febreze to their litter but our female cat disagrees with me about this particular litter.

We buy Paws Happy Life clumping cat litter now and she is very happy with it. I hate it because when I do a deep clean once a week, I have to chisel the bottom of the pans. In between the once a week deep clean, I scoop all the poopies and clumped urine daily.

It all depends on the cat. Some like covered boxes, others do not. Some cats aren't particular about what type of kitty litter they use and others will protest that they don't like this type. A lot of cats have pain in their paws due to from being declawed, which results in litter box issues. Others have medical issues that can cause them not to want to use the litter boxes. Sometimes it's a matter of experimenting and finding out what they like or what they don't like.
