How often should you change the litter tray?
Every day. It goes on the list when you tell it there is a cat.
What it actually is, and what shifts it
A cat that has started going somewhere else is very often telling you about the tray rather than about you. Daily scooping, and a full change on the schedule — the standard is higher than it feels like it should be.
Put it on a list that reminds you
“Change the litter tray”, every day. Tick it when it is done and the next date is counted from that day, not from when it was due.
