I have two litter boxes one in the laundry room and one in the bathroom. I use clay litter in one and silica gel litter in the bathroom one since it tracks less. Gizmo likes to pee in the silica liter and poop in the clay litter, Willow prefers to use the clay for #1 and #2. I dump the used litter and disinfect both boxes with Pine-Sol about once a month.
The problem is when I feed them Petromalt for hairballs, it gives them soft poops, since it's basically a laxative to clean out the retained hair. These soft poops invariably end up deposited right next to the wall of the litter box where they stick to the side when I scoop them out. Is it OK to just push the litter to one side and then use a sanitary wipe to clean off the side of the box instead of dumping all the litter to clean it out?
