An email thread is going around work about new kittens and basic care of them, and someone just said they use clumping litter and NEVER change it!!
She said she scoops twice a day, tips the litter out every 2 weeks, cleans the box out (and cleans it in bleach every 2 weeks, I'll mention in my email back to her why bleach can be bad), and puts the litter back in, and just puts extra litter in when it gets low.
To me this seems bad because of the nasties that could be harbouring in damp litter that never gets fully cleaned out. Is it ok to NEVER completely change litter? Is there proof on why it can be bad?
Your help is appreciated!
