I just got a kitten and he peed in the litter box but I'm not sure if you scoop the poop and the pee or only the poop. What do you do? I know the question is silly, but I'm just not sure. thank you.

It depends on what kind of litter you use. there`s clumping kind, with clumping litter you can scoop the pee. But beware the clumping litter is very dangerous, because its gets up their noses & sticks there, then they cant breathe. Also it gets between their toes, then they lick the litter & glues in their stomachs. another point is the clumping litter is very dusty & makes eye infections if it gets in their eyes. Hope this helps you, After i read an aritcal in the news paper about clumping litter, i went back to the old kind. scooping poop everyday & once a week I dump the hole box.

it depends on how good your litter is, if its good go ahead and scoop away the pee if its bad and wont hold just shift the litter box so its mixed in, what i do is every day scoop out the clumps and add a little litter to replace what i took out and then once a month throw away all the litter and wash the box to kiip everything fresh and healthy

You don't scoop up the pee but, you do scoop up the poop. If I were you I would clean the litter box about maybe once a week.

IF the pee clumps together then and only then you should scoop, now people say only certain litter can do that, its not true, all litter clumps pee, and if you want you can scoop it or you could just totally empty the whole thing and refill it.

You scoop both the pee & the poop out of the box. Don't worry your kittens will find the box again, the scent remains behind, Boy does it ever.

You scoop both IF you purchased litter that's scoopable. If you purchased regular litter, you have to dump all the contents and refill.

If scoopable yes, if non-scoopable you must replace b/c the cats dont like to smell of it when they have to use it again. If it gets mixed together then they track all of that nast germs on their paws. Ewww!! Try scoop aways for multiple cats it works great!

if it's scoop-able you scoop both if it isn't scoop-able you totally change to litter every day.
I strongly suggest scoop-able cat litter.
