Frequently asked questions

How does litter type influence the estimate?

Different litter types have varying weights and costs per unit. The simulator uses the selected type to adjust both the quantity used and the yearly cost, so choosing the right type improves accuracy.

Why is the number of changes per week important?

Changing litter more often increases consumption. The simulator multiplies the litter used per change by the weekly frequency and the number of cats to estimate total yearly usage and cost.

Does the simulator account for multiple cats?

Yes, the number of cats is a key input. Each cat contributes to the total litter consumption, so the estimate scales with the number of cats in your household.
