We use World's best and so does my friend and we have no problems. I scoop once per day and sometimes on the weekends maybe morning and just before bed. We've had no odour problems. In fact I just ordered a big bag tonight from the local pet store.

For a while I was mixing World's best with Swheat Scoop and found the Swheat Scoop too dusty. The litter box is in our bedroom and my furniture was always covered with dust.

I do smell the "corn" smell, but usually only right after stirring it up. That smell settles down.

Do you have a covered pan or an open pan. Both of ours are covered so perhaps that makes a difference.

Don't blame it on the litter, it is probably what you are feeding.

Well, I love the way it smells! (the litter, not the contents, LOL) But then I had chickens at one point (it's very similar to egg layer crumbles I understand) and it reminds me of that.

I find the clumping action superb, and there is no urine odor at all. We usually scoop poop right after it happens
, and twice a day on the urine clumps. Two boxes and two half-grown Maine coons, so that's a fair bit.

It's not my favorite. I don't like the way it smells before and after it interacts with potty. It even made Cupid's poo stinky and his poo is usually not stinky (except right after he goes potty) because there's no undigested food or or anything in it.

thanks! yea i mean even when i first opened the bag before my cat even went in it..i thought.."smells a bit funky" but thats my nose! some noses may not be bothered by it. but yea once its through, which shouldnt be too much longer i only got a 7lb bag i might go get arm and hammar scoop/flush..yea i know the litter doesnt seem to help even keep 'the smells' down either (says it controls odor and what not) o well! glad to know some like it and some dont find the scent to be april fresh, lol. thanks again. peace

and the litter box is covered, my cat would make bigger messes if it wasnt covered..i would rather just teach him to use the toilet!! lol.

and as for what i feed him, even when i used crystal litter the smell wasnt 1/2 as bad..but i just dont like the pee all absorbed..i have to clean the box 5 times more! lol

we mix wbcl with natures miracle - the worlds best, I think it does fine for pee but it doesn't help the poop the nature's miracle does help witht he poop smell.

but then i can't stand a perfumed litter and Gibby can't stand the ones that are dusty so there.

My cats refuse to use the litterbox after I clean it and fill it up with fresh litter (the same kind they have used before). I have to save their old poo to put in a fresh litterbox. Anybody else cats do that, or are mine just exeptionally crazy?

Two thumbs down on the Arm and Hammer flushable. From me anyway--my cats seem to love it. I'd been using World's Best and really liked it, but decided to try the A & H since it's half the price. The A & H tracks terribly, and doesn't clump nearly as well as the World's Best. Right now I have one box of each and the kittens use the A & H 10 times as much as the World's Best...too bad boys, when it's gone they're both going back to World's Best!

That's why I love the Feline Pine. Absolutely no pee smell, and if I can smell poo it means it's time to scoop. I have it in my kitchen, and most people don't even notice it. I also really like the fact that it's not filled with chemicals.

I got some of this last week because petco.com messed up my bottomless bowl with my litter in it and I had to get some at the store. The only all-natural litter they had was Feline Pine. I remember not liking it before for some reason, but I really like it now. I just worry about how hard it is. Cupid uses it, but he'd use anything. Sweetie. I was just worried it'd be too hard/sharp.

Yes, I am also blessed with a "whatever" kitty who could care less what type of litter I used.

It breaks down pretty easily once they start peeing in it, and I find Miss Kitty actually buries things in it (okay, buries her POOH, lol) much more than she did with the clumping litter. She'd just go and leave it there with the other litters. I think she likes the Feline Pine a lot, and it couldn't be that bad since she seems to handle it more because she buries her waste instead of leaving it sitting there.

I only have one kitty, so I have to admit...I don't scoop EVERY day. Usually every other day. And I love not having all that waste and dust and such from clumping clay litters. I pay about $3.50 for a bag of FP that lasts about two to three weeks, depending on how dilligent I am in keeping it clean.

I've thought of trying other types (like World's Best...) but I realize it's just out of my own curiousity, as Miss Kitty is just fine with FP and it serves all of our needs (no smell, and she has no problem using it). As I said, I have it in my kitchen and no one ever even knows it's there.
