If I dump every day it would be awfull expensive right?
So my understanding is that the clumping can go a week or more without dumping it and refilling it? I would think that all the urine would make it awfull messy and stinky in a few days. I guess I'm just rambling. I should buy a bag and see what its like.How often should I wait to do a complete clean out with 5 cats. And I read other post about the perfumey smell. I can not stand a perfumey cat litter smell.The cats fur seem to absorb that smell...I have tried perfumed non clumping litter and I hated it.

I absolutely love scoopable cat litter! It's the best thing they invented for cats!

I use scoop away brand and it works good for me, all of the urine and other stuff clumps up in a ball that you can scoop right out and leave fresh clean litter behind, then you add more as needed. It keeps the pan fresh smelling too. Regular cat litter is a lot more work. Scoop away, you don't have to empty everyday, only scoop the balls out every day.

I love Swheat Scoop. Who would've thought that it would clump so well? It clumped better than some clay litter I used to use. Plus this stuff is flushable so it's really excellent. A bit pricey, but I'm not dumping this stuff all the time - maybe once a month.

Are there any other flushable kitty litter aside from WBCL and Swheat Scoop? We've been using WBCL and dh keeps wanting to try other brands to cut cost.

Arm & Hammer makes one, Easy Flush. Haven't tried it yet myself, however. Also, not sure of the price compared to Worlds Best and Swheat.
