33. I use a disposable litter box.

And, I use paper litter instead of clumping litter. It lasts at least 3 weeks before I have to throw it away and get a new one. I don’t scoop the pee, only the poop. Natures miracle has disposable boxes that last several weeks or more, depending on the cat.
The paper litter does not smell. Kittens can sometimes try to ingest the clumping litter. If they do, it swells in their intestines and causes a blockage which can involve surgery. Paper litter does not do that. So, if you plan to get a kitten, the clumping litter can be dangerous and expensive if they have to have a blockage removed. I have a cat that eats all kind of weird shit. I cannot have a Christmas tree!
So, I’m happy that someone alerted me to the dangers of clumping litter. I buy Fresh News litter and natures miracle disposable boxes.
