So if you have one cat, you will need two boxes. For two cats, you&#8217;d need three. Each box should have two to three inches of litter, depending on whether or not your cat digs. It usually takes one full box or bag of litter to fill each box. From there, you can often scoop daily and top the existing litter off weekly. Change the whole thing as needed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How can I minimize dust and tracking?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are three ways to minimize dust and tracking. The first is to choose a litter that&#8217;s formulated to be dust-free or low-dust. Next, you can get a covered litter box or an automatic litter box with an air filter. Finally, as you add or sift the litter, try to do so gently and slowly to avoid disturbing the litter as much as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What to Look For While all kitty litters seem the same, there are some details that can make a huge difference, including how dusty they are, how well they control odors, and whether or not they clump for easy cleaning.
