It depends on the individual’s specific medical condition and abilities. Some elderly people may be able to do some minor litter box cleaning, while others may need help from a caregiver or family member.
The American Society of Cat Veterinarians recommends that all cats have at least one clean litter box per day, and that additional boxes be added as needed.Regular litter box cleaning should also include scooping out any loose material and replacing the entire litter about every three months.
