The One Thing No One Tells You About Your Cat's Litter Box

Published: April 01, 2026

Tired of scooping clumps every day? Try this: sprinkle a thin layer of baking soda under the litter. It neutralizes odors before they reach your nose. Also, swap plastic scoops for a stainless steel one—it's easier to clean and won't stink up your drawer. Pro tip: place the box in a low-traffic area but not a closet (cats hate confined spaces). Lastly, if your cat's avoiding it, check the litter depth—most prefer 1.5 to 2 inches. Small tweaks, big payoff.
