Got the Tidy cats Breeze and love it! - Page 3

Enuja .. if you have a WalMart near you, check there. The two near me have been well stocked with Breeze Systems. Otherwise I saw two being sold on eBay but am not sure if it would be worth it between the final selling price and shipping.

Wal-Marts are a bit thin on the ground around here. The people at the PetCo apologized for not having it "because we're a really small store" and the people at PetSmart had no idea what I was talking about.

It's available on amazon.com for $36.87 and ships free, so that's likely my best bet. (Amazon also has refills).

My crew still uses the Breeze for pee but continue to use the clumping for poo. However, I have only 1 Breeze for them. It really keeps down the smell!!

Oh yeah, Amazon! I go there first for everything usually, sorry I flaked and didn't suggest it.

I agree about the ones on eBay costing more between the final bid price and shipping.

Hope it works out for you!

Yeah, I saw it at Amazon after I saw this thread but I just noticed someone was asking where to buy it. We decided to get one from Amazon because it was a good deal and free shipping... We ordered it yesterday and it already shipped so it shouldn't be too long. Here's hoping the cats like it and that it helps reduce all the cleaning I normally have to do because of Sneakers!

I was informed today that someone pooped in the TC Breeze! I don't know if it was Twitch or Lily.

I, however, did not ever see poop....as one of the dogs ate it!

Now that they're using the boxes, the next step is to finding a dog proof place for them!

Mine came in the mail today! Fingers crossed... I don't think they will have a problem using it because I chance litter types all the time. I'm just worried about it being large enough!

So far both kittens have gotten in, but none have used it yet. I heard crunching noises a little while ago and went to check, and our Maine Coon kitten was LYING in the litterbox! :P

Someone had asked about big cats and this system. I have a 22-lb grey Tomcat (Phinneus), and a 20-lb Maine Coon (Murray), and they transitioned to the Breeze system and have been really good boys about it.

Phinney had some troubles with loose stools which were solved by changing him to a food with a slightly higher fibre content ( went from 6% to 8% fibre)... made all the difference in the world.

We have 5-cats in the house... and the Breeze system has changed our lives .... no more smelling like a shelter!!!! With 2-huge boy cats - you can imagine the smell from normal litter, even with my obsessive compulsive tendency to scoop and clean all the time. This has been the first litter that allows my nose to rest, and makes it comfortable to once again entertain at home.

Again... the transition for our team took a bit.... more than a couple weeks. But now - it's ALL GOOD. OH!! I also put more pellets in the base than just a single bag. I put two bags worth in and that seems to provide the density that their paws expect in a litterbox situation. Hope this helps. I'm new to the forums here.

Me too!!! I am going to have to start putting a sticky note on the side of each box with the date I should change out the pee pad. It's so easy to forget! (And that's a good thing!)

Well, I haven't seen any of the cats in the box since that first day, but at least one of them has been pooping in it. I haven't found any messes outside the box so my guess is that Sneakers is using it. (If she doesn't like her box she will go right outside it.)

I got the Breeze delivered on Friday.

One thing that still concerns me is that the physical contents of the pellets are entirely mysterious. They are "chalky"; when I pick a pellet up, or "step" in the box with my fingers, my fingers are coated with a white substance. I don't want to call it dust, as I've not yet seen any evidence of it airborne. The Breeze is only advertised as "99.9% dust free".

My cats aren't using it yet, but I assume that they will soon. I've got the Breeze next to my old litter box, and Athena pawed the Breeze pellets towards the old box in an obvious (and obviously futile; oh, I wish they could understand geometry) attempt to use the Breeze pellets to cover the urine and feces in the old box.

I've had cats paw at other cats in the same box as them trying to use the other cat to cover up their "duties".

With time, they'll get use to the breeze!

My previous cat was very fastidious about covering up... If there wasn't enough litter available she would find something elsewhere in the house and carry it into the litterbox to try to cover it up! I've found pencils in the box, pieces of paper, a photograph, once a page ripped out of Dog Fancy...

Anyone who owns the Breeze box--- where do you buy the litter??
I think all 3 cats are now using the box, but the litter is getting rather low... I went to Petsmart the other day and they didn't have the Breeze litter, now I'm not sure where to look for it!

I've seen it in Wal Mart, that's the only place I can think of seeing it off the top of my head.

It's not terribly cheap (and I didn't get it very quickly, and one of the bags was broken and re-packaged), but you can order it at amazon.com.

Hi, I use a plastic tub like a rubbermaid tub for my kicker cat and it totally solved my problem. He can easily jump over the high sides but NO litter gets kicked out. I want to try the breeze though, just cause, I don't like dealing with regular litter.

I have 3 cats.... one is REAL picky about wanting daily litter changes. & as soon as the Breeze litter was set up he was interested. & after a day or 2 he was the 1st to use it. My 2nd cat who is 10yrs & Large at 16 1/2 lbs uses it with no problems, dispite his large size. My 3rd cat is just over a yr old & very long but weighs almost 10lbs & even he has no prob using it. I did the recommended side by side litter setting, adding Breeze pellets on to the old litter (which I stopped cleaning the day I set up the Breeze LBox) & after 4 days they were all using it. Even for poo for all 3. I then swapped & put the Breeze box exactly in the spot where the traditional litterbox sat, still leaving the old uncleaned litterbox next to the Breeze Box for an extra 24 hrs. Then took the old litterbox away & all is going well now for the last wk. VERY satisfied We'll be adding a 2nd Breeze unit this wkend. That way if we're away for the day they can choose to use another litterbox should poo be placed in one while we're out. My cat's were also used to a hooded litterbox, so I did what another posted did & made a cover from the cardboard box it came in. I plan to buy the pee pads, but plant to 'power steam' (with a cleaning steam machine) the litter pellets for using as extra pellets later. There seems to be No smell left in them & I placed some brand new pellets in a container of water when we got the system & after a wk they're still just ceramic pellets as they came brand new. So they should withstand steam cleaning outside in a cleaning slotted Dollar Store collender & some sun drying. That'll save me having to buy extra bags of pellets to add a tad in when I've taken poo out that took quite a few pellets out with it. Great idea of no smell litter. I noticed if you hold the pee pad up to the light (when new of course ) you can see little pellets & feel them slightly when you squeeze the pad like they're pebbles. So I'm assuming they're a jell like pellet that gives the swelling to the pad when it's wet. It also has a 'slight' fragrance, so that must help to control so there's no order too..... whatever the case, it Works for the clean 'Breeze' of no Pee smell

Hi, I was wondering why you couldn't just wash the pellets with water or soap and water?

I've read the reviews of the Breeze Litter Box system on Amazon and other sites, and the majority of folks say it is great. I found it for only $19.99 on Amazon.com (I have Prime so I won't pay any shipping). But if you buy one other item to that your total is $25, you won't pay any more shipping either.

Gonna give this a try for my 4 cats. Oldest is 7 and youngest is 4 months old. Will post my experiences ... Stay tuned.

When I was separating pellets out from my old litter (Yesterday's News Pellets) I rinsed the Breeze pellets, and it worked fine, at least to get rid of the Yesterday's News. I assume that MrsMe simply feels that steam cleaning is easier (with a machine) and gets things cleaner.

Tidy cats says not to clean the pellets (that they haven't been designed or tested for that).

I just noticed that the Amazon Web Site page states that this litter box is 6 x 5 x 4 inches!!! Is this true??? PLEASE tell me that yours is bigger than that! I called Amazon and the woman appeared to check then came back and told me that this is correct. PLEASE tell me that she is wrong!

I'm not at home at the moment, and I don't have a ruler, but there are pictures on p. 2 of this thread. Some people in this thread have said their largest cats (17 lbs and so) don't use it. My cats at 8 & 11 lbs fit, no problem. I can't image those size measurements being correct; it's not a large box, but it is large enough to fit a cat.

I found it on Petco's Web Site. They list the dimensions as 20.3"L X 15.2"W X 11.8"H.

Shame on Amazon!

BTW, how are you guys inserting an image in your posts? When I click "Insert Image", all I get is a very tiny, non-resizable box full of advertisements...

I got my Breeze from meijer for 33 dollars plus 10% off on top of a 5 dollar manufacturer's coupon (from a bag of Purina ONE who said feeding that didn't get me anything! (we're not on that anymore, though), AND there was a 10 dollar off by mail coupon stuck to the box. Score!

This week meijer has them for 25% off, at least in my region.

My kitty hasn't used it at all but since I got her as a pregnant stray and she was using the box well I didn't want to give her a lot of change in case it stressed her so I just set up the box and left in in my room (but not by her normal box which is in the bathroom closet). However, her soon to be 6 week old kittens use the Breeze. Not to mention love to play in it. They also use their other boxes filled with Kitten Attract and World's Best.

My gift to their future families, kittens trained on pellets and clumping clay.
