Every six months or so, cat owners are required to do what is euphemistically known as "the big clean."
It involves:
- putting on plastic gloves
- dumping all the litter from the litter box into a trash bag
- cleaning up whatever litter got spilled
- carrying it out to the trash chute
- cleaning the litter box in the bath tub
- (using soap, and not anything with a fragrance that will scare off the cat)
- drying the box (paper towels)
- tossing the paper towels
- cleaning the bath tub (Comet is nice)
- putting new litter in the box
- cleaning the gloves
Alternatively, a new litter box costs about $14.

Ha ha! I just did this today!!! Except I had to get a new box because one of my cats has a big butt and can't fit into the covered box anymore. Can't decide whether to keep the old box but I did have to do the big bathroom cleanup that comes whenever the box is moved from its spot in there. Can't wait till I have a backyard and can just hose it out and leave it in the sun to dry...
