What Brand of Litter?

We use World's Best

I use Fresh Step. I know some hate it but it is AMAZING for odor control! I have tried Arm & hammer and Tidy Cat but neither compared to Fresh Step. I think I may try the new Fresh Step multi-cat next time.

Since I am already using a corn based litter I am very interested in this. Is there a certain granulation on chicken feed that works best? Also how is odor control?

Odor control is good cept when wet it can have a corn or wheat smell... Egg layer crumbles work best ( I like purinas layeenna) ,.,,, but animal feed crumbles work( these are a bit bigger and track less) or chick starter which comes in 25lb readily

Would adding some baking soda help with the odor control?

I use Tidy Cats Multi-Cat scoop. I am also one of those who only have one cat, yet use a multi cat litter. I dont find it dusty at all, and I its the only litter i've liked in all aspects. It doesnt smell, clumps well, lasts a long time and I bought about 18lbs of the stuff and it came in a plastic tub with a carry handle and a convenient pour spout!

I used A&H and the smell stunk up my house really bad. Feline Pine was also a disaster. I also used Scoop Away but I didnt like that I could only find it in small portions. Im glad I finally found something that works though, I hate having to switch up so much!

We use Fresh Results corncob-based litter in the purple bag.

I tried chicken crumbles once, but one of my cats thinks they're delicious, and I don't want him eating his cat litter!

i buy Schnuck's grocery store brand litter for my crew. i can't beat $2.50/14lbs of scooping litter anywhere else. and the dust level is lower than petsmart's exquisicat, tidy cats and arm & hammer. i usually buy unscented scoop, and will buy the multicat formula in a pinch (it doesn't smell perfume-y). the best i can tell is it's a knock-off of scoop away clean brand litter.

I'm back to using Tidy Cat multiple cat clumping litter. I get the "immediate odor control" because it seems to control odor longer than the "long lasting" one.

I used Scoop Away when Sheba was still alive. She had renal & heart failure and was on fluid therapy and a diuretic, so she'd pee massive amounts. It was the only litter that could keep up with her and clump solid.

I use a very fine betonite clumping litter from Canada called Golden Grey, which is great. It may be called something else in Canada, though.

Hmm...haven't seen that one.

We use World's Best. No dust. Clumping is fine. Odor control is awesome. All you smell is the light sweet natural scent of corn -- and that only when you're near the box.

I have two problems with MOST litters. I have a black ceramic floor AND i have the nose of a hound dog. So litter cant be dusty and must not hold any stinky smell.
Feline pine, with their box works best for me. Absolutely no smell...kitty pee makes it turn to saw dust...which drops through screen to holding box...i cant clean that out all i want and no smell... I just flush poo as they go.
I have noticed they dont sound wheezy now that I have been using the Feline Pine regularly.

Our kitten Sadie came from a foster home that used Feline Pine, we noticed that she was constantly sneezing and had runny eyes, we switched to clumping litter and she hasn't had any problems. I think she was allergic to the Feline Pine, although it did work great. We use EverClean multi-cat for our 2 little ones and we have a litter-locker and there's no smell whatsoever.

I'm glad to see another EverClean user! I swear that is the best litter my 2 cats have used so far, and we've tried a few. Coincidentally, I had the same problem with Feline Pine, except it wasn't my cats getting sick... it was me! that pine smell was giving me a sore throat. As long as I sift out the dirt every day, the EverClean smells fresh for at least 3 weeks. It's really amazing. I just hope they don't discontinue it since it doesn't look like many people use it.

I was using Scoop Away because it seemed to clump so well, until I couldn't take the dustiness anymore. (One night I changed the litter in the box in our master bathroom right before I went to bed, and it felt like the entire bedroom was filled with dust!) I used Tidy Cat before that, but I wasn't happy with the odor control. So after reading this thread, we are now trying Fresh Step. It's definitely not as dusty as the Scoop Away, so we'll see about the odor. Wish us luck!

I use Arm & Hammer Super Scoop Multi cat in the litter box and have for years.

What about a litter for a cat with respitory issues? My cat has herpes and has the usual issues that come with that. I had started out with Tidy cat and was VERY happy with that all around. but was concerned it was too perfumey for Fiona and switched to Swheet scoop. But am having an issue with odor....and i live in an aparment....you do the math

Anyone with a cat with this illness? what do you use?? Does it matter? She seemed happy with the tidy cat too.
