Hi, I'm new to these boards. I have two cats, a 4 month old, and an older cat about 1 1/2 years old.
I am still searching for the right cat litter. I have tried Swheat Scoop, but it did not clump enough for the urine. I have tried Scoop Away, it clumped great, but I could not stand the "perfumy" smell, which also lingered strongly on my cats, although they really seemed to like it.
I am currently using Tidy Cats, Small Spaces. It's wonderful as far as odour control goes, but it's not that great for clumping. The clumps tend to break apart when I scoop, so a mess of little clumps is left behind all over the litter. I bought a scoop, well a stainless steel spoon actually, the kind you would use to strain soup or vegies to try and scoop out this mess of little tiny clumps, but it is very time consuming.
I have heard about the Tidy Cats crystal where you have to stir the litter around so that the urine gets absorbed, but that does not appeal to me since I'm at work during the day and can only scoop early in the morn, late afternoon and evenings.
So what do you all use, how do you and your kitties like it ?
Thanks for your time.
