You'll find that most cats prefer a fine-grained, unscented, clumping litter.
How often should I scoop my cat's litter box?
Boxes should be scooped once or twice a day.

Change clumping litter weekly, while clay litter should be changed at least every other day. However, these can vary based on how often your cat uses the box.
Can my two cats share a litter box?
Plan on having at least one litter box per cat. An additional box should also be kept in a separate location.

Litter boxes should be kept in a private, quiet place, which is easy to access and has at least two ways to exit or enter.

On average, cats urinate twice a day and defecate once a day.
