One of the best videos on all things cat litter I have ever seen. Thank you
âGive your cat a kiss from usâ.. totally won us over. Thank you for such a well considered video!
Awww thank you! Thatâs so sweet of you âșïž
Am I the only one that feel really blessed and lucky that my 2 cats do not require separate litter boxes and in multiple locations? I only have 1 big giant litter box that they share in the house for the last 7 years of their lives and encounter no problem so far. Both are male and neutered by the way.
Some of us are doubly blessed and can get away with that đ€©đ
I have 5 cats and they share a litter box
Great video! Very helpful
Glad to hear that âșïž
Getting my Birman kitten soon...Who knew litter boxes could be so complicated! lol Thank you for sharing, very helpful!
I will be babysitting my son's cat, I learned so much from this video. Thank you for the great information!
Oh I am so glad âșïž
I have the Catit covered box with the animal print on it, and it has a fold-back lid to make it easier to clean. The flap is also removable, which I did for my male cat. Heâs only 11 lbs but loves the jumbo size. Derp and tall. Works for my boy.
Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing đ„°
Thanks for your thorough review! Would love individual reviews of cat litter and cat litter boxes.

I like Smart Cat. And Unscented .
hi, greetings from germany! thank you for this informative video! i love the diy litterbox idea... how did u cut a hole into the plastic tho?
Hey hey đ Germany is great đ check out this video, I show you how I made a covered litter box and how to set up the plastic tub đ czcams.com/video/X8MHC6ooO_c/video.html
@@MicolAndOtherAnimals Thank you soso much! This is seriously a great idea and I will def be trying it out for my babies as well!
Thatâs awesome đ€© let me know how it works for you đ
Hi! What brand of cat door is on your litter box? Thank you!!
Hi what is the second closed one brand that you said you can open it so well it would be easy to clean every day.
It's the Petmate Flip Top Hooded Cat Litter Pan, Jumbo đ
Hello,
Great vidéo. Thank you.
I just wanted to add that silicate litter can be toxic for kittens.
Thanx again đ
Hi Lou! Absolutely! I meant to mention it an must have forgotten: kittens under 8 weeks should have non-clumping, all natural litter! đ
Hi which litter box do you use ? You use a clear box with a entrance door⊠where can I get that?
I use an IKEA samla box that I cut a door into. Itâs the best in terms of size, ease of cleaning, and cost! I show how I made it in this video đ czcams.com/video/X8MHC6ooO_c/video.html
What cat door did you use for the ikea tub that works
This is the one I have been using: SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap amzn.to/3dpmnve
What is the link for that last scooper?
Thank you!
Hi Roni! It's now up in the description đ
A lot of reviews say that the world's best litter is also really dusty. So i'm a little confused about the fragility of the cat's airways.
Can you shed some light on this? ^^
I am planning an in depth review soon, and Iâll actually measure the dust levels when itâs new vs. when itâs time to change it. It can be dusty, especially once you get to the bottom of the bag, but itâs corn based, which tells me it should be easily broken down by the immune cells in the lungs (macrophages). Stick around, the review will be out soon đ
â@@MicolAndOtherAnimals Alright, thank you for your answer. I'll definitely look at it ! :D
Please put links to the products you use. Thank you
Hi Tilly! Everything is now up in the description đ
@@MicolAndOtherAnimals thanks so muchâ€ïž
I noticed that the Iris litter box is indented. Is that on the inside as well? That makes the litter stick in those areasđ
Yea it looks like it đ
I taught mine to use the toilet
I Dont use liners
What is the clear litter box on the thumbnail photo?
Itâs a plastic tub from Ikea I cut a hole into! Cheap, spacious, easy to clean, and with high walls that keep the litter in đ
Hi may i know the dimension of your litter box (the ikea box)?
Sure! 57x39x42 cm, or 22.4x15.3x16.5 inches. Itâs about the smallest I would go for a regular sized cat
I DONT USE SCENTED LITTER .
Where did you buy door for litterbox you made ?
I bought it on amazon! I put the link in the description đ
Hi! I have a 4 wk old what litter should I use :(
Hello again Stephanieđ any natural, absolutely non-clumping litter will do đ once kitty is old enough, you can then switch to a good clumping litter, and then youâre set đ
@@MicolAndOtherAnimals thank you! So clay and crystals wouldn't apply correct? Even non clumping clay
@@stephaddiction as long as itâs non-clumping, you should be good, but I would personally stick to natural litters, just because the issue is that as kitty explores her new world, sheâll probably try to eat her litter so the more natural the source, the better đ
What about soya litter?
If itâs clumping, I would think itâs a viable option đ mine is corn based đ
I love cats, but all this routines are so hard for me, cause I'm obviously don't like to clean litter boxes, also i don't know why but my cat has started peeing everywhere in the house, so it's stressing me now, surely we are going to a vet to figure out the reason to his behaviour, but still all these problems stressing me out hard, probably cause I'm weak mentally or what, not sure, but my thoughts now are like my current cat probably will be the last my pet
Hi Bermet! Cats peeing in he house has got to be one of the most stressful pet ownership experiences. You kitty must be really struggling if he is peeing outside of the litterbox. I am glad you have a good plan of action: once kitty has been through a vet check, Iâd consider going over your litter box and litter set ups, and perhaps looking at doing a consult with a cat behaviorist. Even one session can go a long way! I hope you solve this issue soon, for not you and your kitty!!!
@@MicolAndOtherAnimals HI! I appreciate your answer to me. Yeah i will check other litter boxes and litters, we have silica one, and he has never had problems with it, but probably he doesn't like his litter box i guess, cause it really became old so it's time to change to new one, but anyway i want to try clumping litters, will try to find the best fitted for us at quality and price. Thank you for your videos, they really help! And thank you for your support! â€ïž
My cat is flying out from the litter box every time and he loves to jump from the high endđ
One of my kitties does that, too đ
I DONT USE CLAY ANYMORE. AND I DONT FLUSH THE .LITTER. !!
Are you a vet?
No. I went to vet school but I left when I had a year left. I think that gives a unique perspective đ I am a certified animal osteopath and homeopath
People are Mean who have their cat Declawed !
I dont like Closed litter boxes. My Cat likes Open litter boxes.
