Tip

TIP #1:
LItter Box location matters

Not a fan of doing your business next to the washing machine? Neither are we. Keep our litter box in a quiet, private spot—because even a cat needs some peace while doing important things.

TIP #2:
GIVE THEM ROOM TO GROOVE

Nobody likes feeling cramped — not even your cat. Choose a litter box that’s big enough for stretching, digging, and spinning in circles (because yes, that’s part of the routine). Happy space, happy cat!

TIP #3:
SCOOP DAILY, STAY FRESH

Imagine walking into a bathroom that hasn’t been cleaned in days... yikes. Same goes for your cat! Scoop the litter box daily to keep things fresh, clean, and inviting — just the way your cat (and your nose) likes it.

TIP #4:
MULTI-CAT HOMES NEED MULTI-BOX SOLUTIONS

Sharing is caring — except when it comes to litter boxes. If you have multiple cats, the golden rule is one box per cat, plus one extra. No one likes waiting in line when nature calls!

Question:

QUESTION:
WHY IS MY CAT MEOWING AT 3 AM LIKE IT’S KARAOKE NIGHT?

BART says: Ah, the 3 AM zoomies—classic. We’re nocturnal-ish by nature. Give us more playtime during the day, and a late evening snack. We might just let you sleep… maybe.

QUESTION:
WHY DOES MY CAT KICK LITTER EVERYWHERE LIKE THEY'RE DIGGING TO CHINA?

BART says: Hey, we’re just making sure everything is just right. A good dig is part of the bathroom ritual! To help keep the mess contained, try a bigger litter box or one with higher sides. Bonus: less sweeping for you!

QUESTION:
WHY DOES MY CAT IGNORE THE BRAND-NEW TOY AND PLAY WITH THE BOX?

BART says: Listen, boxes are elite. They crinkle, they hide us, they’re perfect. Fancy toys are cool too — but never underestimate the magic of cardboard. It’s a cat thing.

QUESTION:
WHY DOES MY CAT SPRINT OUT OF THE LITTER BOX LIKE THEY’RE ON FIRE?

BART says: Mission accomplished! Sometimes we get a sudden burst of energy after doing our business. It’s called the "poo-phoria" — and honestly, you should try it sometime. 10/10, highly recommend.
