Field assessment of cats' litterbox substrate preferences

Cats living inside a home without any possibility of outdoor access have to defecate in a litter box. In order to suit the cats' needs, several recommendations seem to be agreed upon. The litter box has to be clean and in a calm spot easily accessible to the cat. It has to be a size that fits the cat. The number of litter boxes has to be correlated with the number of cats present at home as well as the size of the household. The box should contain a substrate that allows the cat to comfortably dig in it.
