Today is the big day for dump all the litter, wash out & let the pan sit in the sun for a bit.
It is 43, so not really warm, but very sunny, which is good for my mood.
Last month, I was out of the regular litter my 2 girlz use & knowing I could get next delivery thru EvilLordBezos shop, I ordered 2 jugs of Cats Pride Litter, A 10#jugs =20 equivalent to my usual Kroger house brand Love some.

Dixie liked it more then her sister Shaw, based on the visuals & daily scooping. HOWEVER, when during the scooping the Pee Biscuit-AKA the urine ball- was very smelly when accidently broken during scoop duty. The stool pieces were no more smelly then usual.

Today, during my standard wash out routine, I noticed that there was A LOT of pitting in the plastic pan, way more then the other pan. Urine burn?

All of this to say, some litters show different actions in real life usage & I would not spend my $ on Cats Pride Litter again.

1. Our dogs love cat turds

They would stand around when cat was using litter box so I moved it to basement steps so they couldn’t eat cat litter covered shit so far they refuse to partake in rehab the furry assholes.

4. We use Litter Robot...

...and it goes right in the bag before it fills up. This happens automatically. The litter is always clean.

6. I changed Ruby's box out Friday

I use Cats Pride that’s unscented w/ baking soda. I keep it on my back lanai n changed it all out once every 4-6 weeks but every morning n evening, I scoop. I went to Target n bought a large plastic container that could be used to store sweaters, etc. and it’s big n very easy to clean. Can’t afford the self cleaning ones but wish I had invented em

7. "Yesterday's News" was recommended by our vet.

It works well. Pellets of used newspapers. Less irritating to Kitty Girl's paw pads.

8. Our two cats have used Fresh Step for years.

The 44 pound package (four individual bags) goes for right around $20 at Sam's Club.

Fortunately, they get along pretty well so they can share a litter box.

9. We use pine pellets for our 4 cats. Tractor Supply sells it for about $6.50 for a 40# bag.

Many of the rescue groups I work with use the same thing. We scoop out the wet sawdust and dump it in a pile in the woods behind our house. The solid waste goes into a plastic grocery bag and is disposed of in our garbage bin. For the little foster kittens, I use World's Best Cat Litter which is made from corn. It is great stuff and doesn't hold the stink like some other litters I've tried. I wish I could afford to use it for all my cats.
