We have tons of questions and appreciate your expertise!Today we tackle all things litter. "Different cats have different preferences for style/brand; your average cat will like a soft material similar to the consistency of sand. I can tell you one thing to definitely NOT use, and that's scented litter. What smells pleasant to us can make your cat, with their superior sense of smell, say 'no' to the box.""Also experiment with how much litter you use. Most cats will want to be able to thoroughly bury their business, so make sure it is deep enough for them to accomplish this. However, some cats- particularly those with long hair who are more susceptible to getting litter stuck in their fur- may not like a thick layer of litter in the box. For a starting point, I recommend 2-3 inches deep, and then you can adjust from there based on your cat's behavior." Via adrianaontherocks.
