Hello and welcome.
Today’s video is all about how to prevent cat litter from tracking.
We’ll go through what causes litter to track, the different types of cat litter, and what
you should look for in a litter box.
My name is Charlotte and this is Pepper and we're here to raise the standard of living
with and caring for cats.
So we keep a litter box in the bathroom and I kid you not I will find litter in our kitchen.
Granted I live in a 250 square foot home but still I understand the problem I'm having
litter everywhere throughout your house and it can be really annoying.
I'm really excited to share with you what I learned about litter so let's get started
what causes litter to track me to bring glitter back throughout the house depending on the
circumstances of their litter and their litter box set up I can be tough for them to avoid
tracking litter outside of the box or when cats exit the Box they can bring litter out
with them if left unattended the litter that comes out of the box can be further spread
throughout the home base on other pets or us or are cats trying to stop tracking insert
can help you maintain a cleaner home so the first thing we want to mention is choosing
the right letter to type of litter you're using is probably the single most important
factor for controlling tracking it's important to be aware of what features to look out for
as well as some types of litter that you should generally avoid generally low talking types
of litter include those that are made of paper Walnut corn and soybean or tofu the newest
time to always make sure you're looking for a clumping cat litter clumping is easiest
to clean and it'll help prevent us so you'll also want to check whether the litter that
you're getting is more small particles or more of a pellet shape the shape to really
Berry between Brands the larger the pellet the less likely it is to track throughout
your home now let us to avoid if you're trying to prevent tracking would be those made of
clay or selika smaller particles can be certain way easier to fling around 4 they get stuck
in the crevices between your cat's paws so let's talk about knowing your cat's needs
at the end of the day it's really important to go with a litter that makes you feel comfortable
giving positive and peaceful time cleaning their paws so they would benefit from a larger
pellet tape that won't get stuck in between their beans soy beans litter generally tend
to be softest on pause and some versions are made in a larger colour shapes that would
help with this choosing the right litter box litter box can help you out
high side or top entry the shape of your litter box can help prevent a ton of litter scatter
from those cats who really like to dig is very natural for caps to 1 a day before they
get down to it and it's equally as natural for them to the gate afterwards covering up
their work is actually a survival Instinct that helps them be less detectable to predators
of cats are so smart like a lot of cat parents myself included you might be tempted to get
a litter box that's right and Chloe help feel things in but we would strongly recommend
against and if you talk to any cat behaviour list who is Robaxin actually trap odour and
cats sense of smell are way more sensitive than ours the second is that there's not much
ventilation and enclosed litter box and they generally make a cat feel trapped or Corner
a litter box with a top entry will make it harder for cats to kick litter out since the
only entry is directly about them however some cats might jump in and out of these little
boxes causing the litter to fling out with them a little size is a great option for cats
that like to dig inside of the Box even better is one with removable sides not only the cats
when I feel more comfortable when they go to the bathroom but this also helps with tracking
choosing a box with enough space for your tattoo move around so help keep litter in
the Box while your cat is scratching and digging grey experts recommend a litter box that is
the length of your cat's body and tail the same effects when cats are leaving their
litter box on that will help catch a new litter that stuck in between airpods and while there
are a ton of fancy options out there for a little from silicone or other fancy fibres
at the carpet remnant an old bath towel or an old bath mat
is virtually impossible that 0 letter is no leave the litter box creating a frequent cleaning
routine that works for you will help contain a row glitter to just around the Box rather
than having it tracks throughout the entire home having a small brush and Pen handy and
sweeping regularly really helps contain letter you can also incorporate a
please don't use that scary back in when your cats are around find a routine that works
for you and stick with it now let's talk about what not to do.
just as we can give you tips to avoid litter tracking, these are some things to avoid as
well out of sight out of mind?
not so much.
it might be tempted to place her litter box and that random storage room that nobody goes
into but then by default you may not be as on top of cleaning as you would be if the
litter box were in a public place is important at your place or a litter box somewhere easily
accessible but still low traffic to last traffic around the litter box the less likely the
litter is to spread and solo traffic noises and no destruction does they're doing their
business please don't get mad at your cat for spreading litter cats are sensitive creatures
and they don't respond well to voice raising and negative discipline if you start to associate
a negative energy with their litter box they may avoid their litter box all together or
at least it would result in bad behaviour and we don't want either of those all in all
we think a little bit of litter at the house is better than not using their litter box
that also approaching this issue with patience and an open mind is best for all parties involved
after some trial and error we're sure that you're going to find a solution that works
