We scoop out poos immediately if we are there, otherwise as soon as we notice. Change the whole thing probably twice a week I guess.

I use Catsan and they tell you to scoop poo out on the day and replace all the litter once a week. It works well - but if I have ever noticed a pong in high summer I replace litter anyway there and then.

poos as soon as you notice. remove clumps at the same time. change the rest when it smells, 1 -2 x a week. If you can send cat to do it's "business" outside. Ours will not use her tray. Keeps her legs crossed till I let her out, which can be 14 hours over night at the weekend. Still keep the tray available, but haven't changed it in a couple or months. You can get the tray liner bags in pound land: £1 for 24 which is much cheaper than the pet shop. Makes it an easy job.
