Best Answer

The scent is added to cat litter for the benefit of the humans, not the cat. If you clean the litterbox often enough, ususally daily, all the scent needed would be baking soda scent. Some scents are deterents for going near things.

Do you have to get 2 litter boxes for 2 cats?

They can, but most cats prefer to do their business in clean litter boxes and often do not like to share such a private space. It is not impossible to get two cats to share just one litter box, depending on the cat's personality and how often the litter gets cleaned out. However, it is often recommended that a multi-cat household has one litter box per cat, plus one extra just in case. This ensures each cat has enough privacy and space, and minimises the risk of one cat refusing to use the litter box and toileting elsewhere.


How do you train your cat to stop using the litter tray?

How odd. Most people want to train their cats to use the litter tray, not to train them to stop using it. If you don't want your cat to use the litter tray, that's easy; remove the tray. If the tray is not there, the cat cannot use it. Move the litter tray outdoors to get your cat used to going outside and then, eventually, remove the litter tray completely.

Also even if your cat doesnt eat litter, they still get dust on their paws...and when they clean themselves, they get it in their systems. So change anyways
