How Do You Care for Your Cat's Litter Box?

When more than one person own an animal, such as a cat, the emotional and personal level of each person are different. The number one concept that people often argue over is who knows how to take care of the pet.

My brother and I often argue about how our cat, Wolfy, needs to be taken care of. We decided to split our chores for him: I would deal with the litter box, make sure that he has his treats, food and litter while my brother would make sure that he has his medication (fleas and worms) monthly and would fill his bowl every morning with food.

Well, I happened to be out of town during the academic school year for University and he had to pull my weight while I was gone (which is understandable to be tired and the weight is put on me now during the summer).

The first thing he said to me when I came back was not a "hello" but instead to clean the litter box. I shrugged and agreed. I went to see the litter box and I was appalled. There were days of feces in the litter box and it wasn't entirely the color litter box was. I immediately asked him when he last changed the litter and he said about a week ago. I was peeved and I immediately throughout the litter box and bought a new one with new litter. But then he got angry at me for blaming him for doing a terrible job with taking care of his litter.

So with this point said, how do you take care of your cat's litter? Do you let it sit for a couple to a few days and then clear it all out, do you clean out the litter box every morning, or do you have a different technique?
