A coworker of mine has over 20 cats (she does a lot of rescue). Until now, she has used clay litter, and empties it each day & cleans the pans...12 litter pans in all! Obviously this is extremely time consuming and tiring. She's never been a believer in scoopable litter as she is worried about the smell. She has decided to try scoopable on a trial basis. I told her that I remembered hearing about littermate additive, and perhaps that would work best for her. I've never used it, and don't know anyone who does. Has anyone ever used it? How well does it work? How expensive is it to use? How much longer can you go before having to change the litter in its entirety? If you liked it, and would recommend it, how much would she initially have to order for 12 pans? Any information on this would be great! Thanks in advance!

This fountain was purchased because it was not plastic and saw it on a site on constipation for cats and was promoted as one that cats would use. However, it is expensive. It is very heavy,...

It is the most economical litter I have ever used. I only put a layer of litter in the pan that will cover half the pan. As the cats use it, it turns to sawdust. When its all dust you dump it....

This is probably the single most important toy I ever bought. I got it when my boy was a kitten and two years later, he still plays with it every day.

good old baking soda in the yellow box will help and be far more cost effective and practical

People on here have also recommended using chicken feed as litter. Everyone seems to like it and you can get a 50lb bag for around $8 or so. Very cost effective, but for me, I didn't like the smell. No one else seemed to mention the smell problems and I am thinking I bought the wrong kind or something. So that is another option you coulod use too.

I think scoopable covers smells better than non scoopable. With 20 cats though some people use wood pellets and stuff like that for cost reasons. Ive heard of littermate and it sounds like a cheap way to convert regular litter to scooping, never tried it b/c it isn't available in the pet store.

Wood pellets are great just non scoopable ...
