How often should you COMPLETELY change clumping litter?

Based on the search results, the frequency for completely changing clumping litter depends primarily on the number of cats and daily maintenance habits, but here's a concise breakdown:
Baseline Frequency

Single Cat: Change clumping litter every 2–4 weeks .
Two or More Cats: Change weekly (every 1–2 weeks) due to higher waste volume .

Key Factors Requiring More Frequent Changes

Inadequate Daily Scooping: Skipping daily scooping allows urine to saturate unclumped litter, demanding earlier full changes .
Shallow Litter Depth: Less than 3 inches of litter absorbs less liquid, accelerating odor buildup and bacterial growth .
Small or Shared Litter Boxes: Boxes used by multiple cats or undersized containers need changes more often than larger/individual boxes .
Health Issues: Cats with infections (e.g., UTIs) produce more waste; monitor and change promptly if litter smells strongly of ammonia .
High Humidity/Poor Ventilation: Damp environments cause clumping litter to break down faster, trapping odors .

Signs It's Time for an Immediate Change

Persistent ammonia smell despite scooping .
Litter turns grayish or dusty and no longer forms firm clumps .
Visible mold, moisture at the box's bottom, or litter sticking to the plastic

Why do covered boxes sometimes cause problems?

Although covered litter boxes can reduce the spread of odour and litter splashing, there are obvious problems for some cats and the main reasons can be summarised as follows:
1. Space constraints and movement limitations

Discomfort in small space: most covered litter trays do not have enough space inside, making it difficult for large or obese cats to turn around and unable to defecate in a natural squatting position, leading to a feeling of tension or pain.
Mobility obstacles: Elderly cats, arthritic patients or young cats may have difficulty entering and exiting due to the height of the entrance or the design of the door curtain (if any).

2. Lack of safety and escape anxiety

Obstructed vision: The closed design prevents the cat from observing the surrounding environment, making it unable to be alert to potential threats (e.g. other pets, noise) and triggering anxiety when defecating.
Risk of single exit: If the entrance is blocked by other animals or objects (common in multi-cat households), the cat will refuse to use it due to the "panic of being trapped", or even trigger a stress reaction.

3. Odour retention and hygiene problems

Accumulation of odour: the lid prevents air circulation, leading to the accumulation of excrement odour inside.Cats have a sensitive sense of smell (14 times more sensitive than humans), and a strong ammonia odour will disgust them, even if the owner does not notice it.
High cleaning difficulty: removing the top cover for thorough cleaning is easily ignored by the owner, accelerating the growth of bacteria and further reducing the willingness to use.

4. Increased conflict in multi-cat households

Risk of territorial competition: weaker cats may avoid the covered litter tray for fear of being blocked by the dominant cat in the closed space, and choose an unsafe area to defecate.
Sharing discomfort: when shared by multiple cats, the mixed odour in the enclosed space will increase stress and some cats will actively avoid it.

Differences in adaptation under special circumstances

Individual preference differences: some cats prefer privacy (e.g. timid types), but most studies show no significant preference and individual behaviour needs to be observed.
Alternatives: If odour or splash control is required, use an open basin with high sides (e.g. 30cm or more baffle) or a semi-open design to balance safety and practicality.
