Cat Forum / General Topics / May 2008Litter Brands
Hello All! This question is for any American's on this group. I have been using Tidy Cat scoopable litter for the past 2 months but I have realized that it isn't as good as what the breeder seems to think. So I was hoping that I could get an idea of a brand that works to help control up to 3 pee's per day followed by 1 bowel movement (sometimes two). We clean the box nightly of the daily activity but put in fresh litter every 5 days after a through washing of the pan. However, we are still experiencing a horrible odour from this litter. Thanks in Advance!

I > came looking for help. Go harass someone else, Fsck nuts (yes, fsck is > real - google it.) It always amazes me how someone can be asking for help and at the same time, tell someone off. As well as lousy keyboarding skills, you've also got a poor sense of humour. If you want some suggestions for kitty litter, then you might try to be a little more cordial. And since I'm Canadian, I guess I won't bother telling you the brand of the excellent kitty litter I use. I'll leave you alone now so I can get back to get back to eating my Canadian back bacon and yelling at my reindeer for making too much noise.

The bulk of the usage comes in the morning, rarely gets used after about 10 am. Could your odor be seeping into the litter box or on the floor? Maybe you should try a booda box? Also you should note that some clumping litters hold together better than others especially if your cat digs alot. >I use Arm & Hammer and clean the boxes twice a day.

Hummmmm.....I have the same problem with my toilet.....I wonder if they make higher ones..... "Xena" <replyonusenet@emailprivate.com> wrote in message > You might also want to try a higher box.

I ended up bying the highest sided Rubbermaid box I could find and used a razor knife to cut a slot in it for entrance and exit. I works very well, was cheap and highly effective. Much, much, much cheaper than those two Littermaids that both broke down that I'd first bought and later found out their sides weren't high enough. > "Xena" <replyonusenet@emailprivate.com> wrote in message >> You might also want to try a higher box.

Arm and Hammer multi-cat (two cats) plus the a & h deodorizer.  Signatured.b. cooper > Arm and Hammer multi-cat (two cats) plus the a & h deodorizer. I don't think it's available in the US, but here in Canada, I use Maxx Scoop. It has excellent odour control and what I'd consider to be decent dust control although I've never used another brand of litter to compare to. >Hello All! > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > >Prairie Dawn I use World's Best which is a flushable and clumping corn litter in all three of my boxes for 4 cats and have ever since I have had cats. I scoop whenever I notice that they use one of the boxes instead of once daily and have no trouble with order. I would not use anything else. I was using World's Best Cat Litter but I found it very lightweight and the cats tracked it around the house. I was finding litter everywhere. S.

[quoted text clipped - 15 lines] >>> >>>Prairie Dawn Sometime around 1950 they came out with a product called, "Air-wick". It was in a green bottle, and you were supposed to unscrew the cap, and pull the wick (a piece of cloth, like a rope) out of the bottle a little way, and it would "kill the bad odors in your home". I remember my dad coming home from work one day and throwing ours out. He said that he had found out that the chemical in the bottle worked by paralyzing your olfactory nerves, and didn't eliminate the odors in the home at all.....It just made it impossible for you to smell them. I have seen many such products during the 50 odd years since then, and I wonder how many of them work exactly the same as did, "Air-wick". I suspect they all work the same way, and, like my dad, I wouldn't have any of them in my home...... |
