    Cats are very clean creatures, so it is important to keep their litter trays nice and clean too by removing waste at least daily and cleaning the trays once a week with a mild detergent. Make sure to provide your cat with enough litter trays (one tray per cat, plus one extra), and place them in easily accessible, quiet locations in your home with two-way access, away from their food and water bowls. These simple steps will make a world of difference to your cat!
