In case you need another reason to keep your house from smelling like cat shit:
Feline coronavirus (not that one, but a close cousin) is a relatively benign, very common virus that turns into a fatal disease called FIP after a few cycles of re-infection. The best way we know to prevent those cycles of reinfection is to clean feces from the litterbox at minimum every 18-24 hours, because that’s the length of time the virus has to hang out in the environment before it can reinfect your cat.
Fun fact:
Remdesivir was first (basically) developed to treat FIP.
