Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / September 2005Generic Wheat litter
Because I have access to umlimited wheat (Palouse area of E.Washington) I was curious if I could use the raw wheat product for litter or is the commercial stuff treated with something that makes it clump? > Because I have access to umlimited wheat (Palouse area of E.Washington) > I was curious if I could use the raw wheat product > for litter or is the commercial stuff treated with something that makes > it clump? as far as I know, the commercial product Swheat Scoop is not treated. Why not try a batch of what you have and see how it works? I'd be curious to know so can you post your results? I will post my results here. >I will post my results here.

This is not so with Google News now. In all fairness to the original poster, it's really the fault of Google News. If you use the obvious reply button, it brings up a box. What you type in the box is only what appears. It's not obvious that it discards all the previous posts. Took me a few posts before I now go to the very top where there is another Reply buried under the "Show Options" that does include the previously posted material. I suspect that Google is doing this on purpose to cut down bandwidth. I have used a news reader, in unix, that would _not+ let me post at first if I included too much previous material! And that newsreader, tin, did so for the same reasons. > >I will never understand how people can bear to read newsgroups > >unthreaded. > > It is simple netiquette to include a snippet when you are replying, > and easier than NOT to with most news readers. I know; I always try to do so, myself, even though I use Google groups these days (which does not quote by default, as Treeline mentioned) . It would just make me crazy not to have messages threaded. It's the first thing I configure any time I set up a newsreader. -- Jennifer > > Because I have access to umlimited wheat (Palouse area of E.Washington) > > I was curious if I could use the raw wheat product [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Why not try a batch of what you have and see how it works?

You might have to go up a level though. I discussed this with them. If you're bothered by stuff sticking to the bottom, then use at least 3" deep. That's the first trick. The second trick is the size of the wheat. If it's very fine, then you may have dust at times. If this bothers you, a light spray of olive oil over the top will contain the dust. I never bothered even when using their older product which was too fine and made dust. I don't think they use anything but I could be wrong. They have an expiration date or used to. This would indicate not using preservatives at least. I was kind of tickled to see an expiration date on cat litter. If you find out they use anything, tell us. It's really a good idea since in the vet research I have noticed some talk about felines and illness and clay. Apparently they either ingest or inhale or both the clay litters - don't remember specifically. How clean is the clay and so on. Wheat is expensive but I have found it on sale in supermarkets. If you have it for free, that's great.
