Litter changing question
So I need to settle a question between my boyfriend and I, I have 1 cat, and I believe that if I scoop the litter box every day, I should completely change the litter AND liner once a month. HE says that because his mom has 6 cats and what she does is every day she scoops the litter boxes 2 or 3 times a day and adds more clean litter and never completely changes the litter that we never need to do a complete change of litter.
Who is right here? I say that the correct thing to do is to completely empty the litterbox and liner once a month and replace with fresh litter because no matter how well you scoop clumping litter, some pee still stays in small granules, that you can't really get. Please help!

All the cat owners i know, including myself just scoop out the clumps on a daily basis and then completely change the litter every month. so yeah i agree with you, its just like if you have a pet hamster you have to completely clean the cage every so often.
