I have 2 cats, and 2 litter boxes. We do them when they seem full, but I'm wondering, should we do them more often than that? At what intervals, if I have 1 litter box per cat, should I clean their litter boxes?

Rule of thumb: number of litter boxes = number of cats + 1.
You should add 1 additional box to the 2 already present, boxes should be cleaned once to twice a day. Cats are clean and therefore like clean boxes to soil in.
Wash entire box once a week: remove litter, wash box and refill.

Once or twice a day? My gosh; I currently am more on a 1 or twice a week.– Fredy31Commented Apr 3, 2017 at 20:40

3Scoop daily and full clean (remove all old litter, wash box and refill) once a week. :) Commented Apr 3, 2017 at 20:58

4Think of it as a toilet for us, when poo's are in the toilet we would rather flush it before using it ourselves. I don't normally humanize our pets but this is one of those situations that we have in common. Commented Apr 3, 2017 at 20:59

1Yes, you need to clean the litter boxes once or twice a day.– mhwombatCommented Apr 3, 2017 at 21:41

You might be able to make do with just 2 boxes. We have the same setup and our experience is that if we don't dig up their shit twice a day they stop covering it. Which is good incentive to do it regularly...– KempethCommented Apr 4, 2017 at 14:19
