Litter Box Cleaning Schedule and Log for Cat Households
The Merck Veterinary Manual says to scoop every day and clean the entire box at least once a week. Write the tasks down, share them with your household, and ask your vet if your cat needs anything different.
Cat Care Schedule: Daily, Weekly and Monthly Jobs
A cat care schedule sorts the jobs by how often they come round: litter and water daily, litter changes weekly, nails every few weeks, a deep clean monthly and a vet exam yearly.
