I am wondering what the best kitty litter is in terms of value and odour control? Thanks.
Just curious, I don't understand what's wrong with clumping litters? Personally, I use Nature's Miracle, it's 100% natural, so it's safe if the cat ingests it. It's literally dust free. It's flushable, has good odor control and clumps well. My cats have never experienced health problems because of it. So why would a clumping litter be bad? I'm just confused. Thanks!Originally Posted by missymotus
I don't like clumping litters for health reasons so we use wood pellets, they last much longer than regular litter and the wet pellets turn to saw dust leaving the remaining pellets fresh.
I have to agree! This is what we use and it's really cheap. Even if I had the money I wouldn't switch to anything else. It's all natural and also basically dust free.Originally Posted by carolinalima
IMO all the way around Dr Elseys' Precious Cat Litter
But you will hear all kinds of opinions here, as this is highly subjective on the owners likes, and the kitties acceptances too. What I like is not what you like, and what my cats like is not what you cats like either...
My cats seem to prefer Special Kitty, too. I have several different brands currently in the litterboxes (I like to experiment), and the litterboxes with Special Kitty seem to see more use. No matter which kind---the regular (clumping), the one with crystals, and even the orange-scented one (I thought cats didn't like citrus smells?).Originally Posted by 3CatsN1Dog
I got the Special Kitty litter with the odor absorbing crystals and it works great and I think the cat really like it too because when I dumped and filled their litter boxes all three were in attendance.
FYI - Dr. Elsey's and Wal-Mart Special Kitty clay clumping are very similar with the Special Kitty being cheaper.Originally Posted by kittymama2000
Where can u get that and how much? I live in canada (nova scotia)?
I think that Dr Elsey's PreciousCat, is the best clumping clay litter.Originally Posted by LDG
To answer someone else's question, the problem many people have with clumping litters is the silicates in them. They are kind of like smoking menthol cigarettes. It's terrible for the lungs. Many people who use clumping litters won't use lids on the boxes because of the dust.
The low-dust litters are thus important if using a clumping litter - lid or no lid on the box.
