I had forgotten all about this from years ago, but just started doing it again, so thought
I'd post it.

For Rexie I use a good 'scoopable' litter. Since the box is in my bathroom, whenever I
happen to go in there, I shovel out anything I see. (I have a 'Litter Locker' nearby, so I
just dump it in there) But, and I just membered how well this worked for our other cat, I
also keep by the box a strainer, or it's more like the little basket you fish food out of
a deep fryer with. Metal, not too fine a strainer. Every few days after I've shoveled out
the box, I take the strainer and sift the remaining litter thru it. When you use a shovel
it takes out the big clumps and most of the small ones. But if your littler shovel is like
mine, some minute bits fall back into the box.

I find when I do this I can go much longer between total 'dump and change' on the litter.
You can find the strainers in most kitchen sections of stores.

Just a thought.
