How To Use Arm and Hammer Sifting Litter Box with Clay Litter

I've used this for over a year for both cats and kittens. It never came with official instructions, so here's my guide on how to use the arm and hammer sifting litter box. I also put this litter box inside a medium Home Depot box (then on top of a litter mat) as it's a cheap $2 way to capture litter vs buying an expensive enclosure.

    I used the largest plastic tote I can find. place the litter box inside as far back as it can go. cut out a door at one end adding the lid is option depending on the size of cat. My cat Larry enjoyed having the lid so he could watch the birds at the window feeder with a bed on top. He's a feral rescue I cared for at 4 weeks old. He's coming up to 8 years old. Living his best life as a indoor ginger boy. In 4 weeks we will be adopting another little one from a similar situation. She is a little flame point with ginger ears and tail. she's a little spicy girl. we decided her name is rosie.

    I adopted my first cat a week ago. I saw this at Walmart for 20 bucks. Thought it was a cool idea. Ended up just buying a litter scoop and having two litter boxes instead of dealing with the sifting. Cool idea but honestly for me it's more of a pain especially when I scoop mine out a couple times a day.

    Yes, I only scoop once every 3 days, and still don't find much to pick up for my one small cat. I did get a very sturdy metal scooper that just makes quick easy work of sifting all of the litter in the box.

    Convinced me to get one! Had to search the whole internet for one with a lid though. Reason I want this is because the large pee clumps get all stuck to the bottom and are hard to scoop (poo clumps are easy to scoop though) so this will help hopefully with that

    If I had 1 cat i would use this. For me I use the large rubbermaid plastic storage bins with lids. Carve a hole on the side about 3 to 4 inches from the bottom and voila. Cheap. Huge. I have five cats and 3 of these makes it a easy to change and scoop lift the lid right off and there you go. I also use more litter than I see on most videos. Ive had cats all my life and too little litter makes it a stinky mess. Good luck to all. Oh and scoop 2 x a day, add some as needed. Do a full change once a month and sprinkle some baking soda in the box for odor control.

    Switch to horse bedding (wood pellets) if your cats will tolerate it. I use this box with a puppy pad sprinkled with baking soda. Once it becomes wet the pellets turn to saw dust. The saw dust will sift down and you scoop the poop. There is a lot less tracked out and usually half the price of litter, plus less smell. Change puppy pad weekly.

    Does the baking soda do enough to hide the poop smell? I’ve asked a few people about the feces smell with pine litter and they’ve said that unless the feces is scooped immediately, it will reek. I want to switch to pine litter since it’s healthier for the cats, cheaper by a long shot and is supposedly top tier at neutralizing the ammonia smell, but it’s the feces that’s holding me back. Lol

    I've got this box as well as the van ness sifting box. When empty the void below the sifting tray is appx. 1/2 inch, the van ness is appx. 1/4 inch. Either should be sufficient if you're using clumping clay litter. I've only recently discovered pine pellet litter, which requires more clearance between the sifting pan and bottom pan. The home made sifting boxes shown in youtube videos for pellet litter typically have appx. 1 inch. I suggest you space the trays apart by at least this amount. I've recently made a box similar to those shown on youtube. Most of the youtube boxes have 1/4 inch holes drilled on 1 inch centers. Having a touch of OCD I decided to do 1/2 centers resulting in 792 1/4 inch holes 1/4 inch apart resulting in more efficient sifting. If you're using pellets I would recommend the arm and hammer over the van ness. The holes in the van ness are much more likely to get clogged. (Who knows what cats really want?...Kathmandu)

    People with multiple cats and multiple boxes don't think their house stinks cause their used to the smell. I even know a woman who hat 40 cats and 7 litter boxes and she thinks her house smells like wood pellets. While the smell of urine saturated wood pallets is even more descusting. Jackson, you've got 5 cats and 8 litter boxes. I guarantee your one of those people who's house stinks badly and you don't even know it.
