![]() I think the cost compared to what I was paying before in conventional litter (where I would have to scoop pee out constantly, and change the whole box at least weekly) is roughly the same. I change the whole box of pellets out monthly and give the litter system a full scrub inside and out with all purpose cleaner during that change. It is pleasant, the pellets are easy to throw back into the box and I’m dealing with 90% less litter outside of the box than I ever did before. Other than his smelly mushy poos and when I’ve gone longer than a week without changing the pad, I have never had a smell from the box. I import them from Dara’s mom in Las Vegas who generously supplies us with a huge stash when we see her. ![]() Since we live in California there’s a law against plastic grocery bags, they cost 10-15 cents and aren’t the cheap disposable kind and are more sturdy. Biscuit Reynolds LOVES to immediately poo once I’ve grabbed the last poo. Dara hates poo so I have a pledge that I will try to immediately remove poo. I didn’t like the scoop (Biscuit Reynolds gets mushy poos every fourth turd, and it makes the scoop messy) so now I use plastic grocery bags and pick it up like I pick up Macy’s poo when she goes on a walk. They’re the perfect size.Ĭat poo hangs out in the top amongst the pellets and you are meant to scoop it daily. I use the plastic sleeve from unsolicited newspapers/advertisements that end up on my doorstep to throw away the pads. When I do it just once a week I don’t need to rinse the tray. When you forget to change it, you will start to smell it and the tray gets soggy and needs to be drained in the toilet before you toss it and rinsed. Biscuit Reynolds drinks A LOT of water because of his Urinary Tract Diet food, and I still only need to change it once a week. The pee goes through the tray through small slats into an absorbent pad (puppy pads in a specific shape for the box), which is supposed to be changed once a week or more depending on how many cats you have. You don’t use a ton and they last for about a month, with regular refills from your stash. The pellets are about the size of a piece of rabbit food. You have a litter box, but instead of tiny pieces of clay litter, it’s got bigger pellets made of some kind of sustainable material (I can’t find it while writing this article but I remember from my internet rabbit hole that it was plastic and foam). It’s been over six months of cat litter dream life–I do not say this lightly, I LOVE MY CAT LITTER SYSTEM. I knew the litter system I wanted to try before I even had a cat in mind. I went down the internet rabbit hole researching it months before we adopted Biscuit Reynolds. I want to support businesses who support pet rescue organizations and websites. When I was pondering Biscuit Reynolds and waiting for the right moment to bring him into my life, I saw an ad for Tidy Cats Breeze on. Let me tell you, lightweight litter made a huge difference in the schlep and in scooping. I had to buy it at Petsmart on Atlantic Ave and take the bus home, with many pounds of cat litter in my granny cart. It was a mix of clay clumping litter and the cedar stuff and was a miracle as far as I was concerned, at that point carless in Brooklyn. The best I found with ALF and Bear was lightweight cat litter. Cat litter is as insidious as glitter but NOT as cute. My Persian Princes would sometimes get the litter clumps stuck to their paws and then there would be weird clumps on my floor. Oh man, one of my biggest pet peeves is being barefoot and having litter stuck to my feet. ![]() There was the regular clay stuff, the clumping clay stuff and it always ended up with bits of litter everywhere. I pretty much never use the toilet for cat litter but it said it was safe on the bag! I tried one bag of the “World’s Best” cat litter which I immediately hated because of the smell and it almost clogged my toilet. I really appreciate that I’ve inherited all of my Grandmother’s cat stuff. (I did one box with that and one box of clay litter. Elsey’s Precious Cat for Older cats and the formula for long hair cats for a few months when my beloved boys ALF and Bear were still with me. I have always been so annoyed with cat litter and have tried SO many kinds over the years. ![]()
