The Inside Scoop: What 2,000 Cat Lovers Really Think About Their Litter Box

What happens when you poll a couple thousand cat lovers on a bunch of questions related to life (with a cat), litter usage, and more?

You get the scoop on so many big and litter details!

That’s exactly what happened with a recent Litter Poll we conducted with the help of our dedicated email subscribers.

The poll, which we use to ensure we’re always giving our fans and customers the best, turned up some interesting tidbits thanks to the 2,275 people who responded.

Check out what we learned!

4 Litter Box trends that might surprise you

The “Scoop” on Your Daily Routine 🧹

It turns out you all are champion scoopers!

A whopping 81.1% of you clean the litter box at least once a day, with nearly half (45.7%) taking care of business multiple times a day.

Roughly 9% of polltakers claimed to scoop every other day, while 5% said they scooped a few times a week.

Where’s the Box? 🏠

We were curious about where the magic happens, and you gave us a tour of your homes!

While the bathroom (39.8%) is the top choice, many of you also keep boxes in:

Bedrooms (23.9%)
Basements (15.4%)
Living Rooms (15.1%)

With litter boxes in so many shared living spaces, it’s no wonder what your biggest litter challenges turned out to be.

And the biggest litter box challenge is…

We asked this all-important question and the answer was loud and clear: Tracking is the biggest hurdle for cat parents today.

While odor control is always a concern, the mess that leaves the box and travels through the home is what keeps owners reaching for the broom.

According to our survey’s word cloud data, the most common “litter challenges” include:

Tracking & Scattering: Litter ending up on the floor, paws, and throughout the house.
Dust & Debris: Managing the “dusty” mess that some brands leave behind.
Odor Control: Keeping the air fresh, especially in high-traffic areas.
Maintenance & Cleaning: The constant effort of “keeping the box clean” and the “expense” of finding a high-performing litter.
