Should a child clean the cat litter box? It depends 😃. Hardly an answer. But it depends on: The age of the child How well they have been trained to do the task Whether they take precautions. My gut feeling is that it is beneficial for a child to clean the litter box as …
The Times newspaper has a full report on what is a worrying development in the UK and perhaps in other countries.
