I just got done changing out the litter in my cat's box, do that once a week. Daily clean-up too. I'm a cat lover, mine sleeps with me sometimes at night, and puts his 'arm' around my neck.
He gets crazy a couple of times a day, usually morning and night for 5-10 minutes, and does his 'wilding'...ears sucked back, jumping up to pounce on things, and running back and forth. Then he chills out, and lounges around for the rest of the day. He follows me from room to room like a puppy, often laying under my chair or near my feet. I'm not thrilled about litter box duty, and wouldn't have more than one cat at a time anymore.
