Whats the best cat litter2007-11-25 12:29:07

Be skeptical of scented litters that claim they won't smell bad, because cats are often repelled by them. You can make any litter absorb smell by mixing in some baking soda with it.

Never flush clumping litter down the toilet (unless it's someone else's toilet and you own stock in the local plumbing shop.) It will harden like cement in the pipes!

Avoid clay litter if the box is in a place where you don't want a lot of dust. (Alas, many cats like clay litter best of all.)

We are using EverClean or something like that. I think it's very helpful because when my cat goes to the bathroom, of course, it smells but once he covers it up, the smell immediately goes away. And it doesn't smell so much. Also, I think it's cheap too but we bought it at this store that sells cheap pet supplies.

There was one brand that I defiently HATED. It's called Hartz PH5 cat litter. Not hate, dislike. Alot. When I used it, the litter was big - I don't like big sand litter bits - and it smelled alot. The sand did NOT make the smell go away at all. At ALL. It just covers it up, that's why. It really did smell. When I picked up his business, I had to hold my breath, run to his litterbox and clean it up, then run back to "fresh air" and then so on. That's how bad it smelled. It almost killed me =P

I think the best cat litter is Tidy Cat. I haven't found any in all my years of owning cats that I like better.

I have tried a few and like the crystal one, it's kind of expensive though and the cats I have now don't like the feel of it on their feet, they sort of tip-toed across it so I stopped using it. They like the pine pellet ones, it is biodegradable and cheap, smells good and does not set rock solid like concrete
