What is your litter stockpile amount?

[jazzcat]

We went shopping tonight and after hitting PetsMart and Target I now have 135 pounds of Fresh Step and 35+ pounds of Tidy Cats (for his majesty Ripley). It got me wondering if I'm the only one who stockpiles so much litter? I usually load up when it's on sale and/or I have coupons but I try to have at least 30 pounds on hand always. My reserves.

So how much do you have on hand?

[critter crazy]

Since i only have one kitty, i just buy one container a week while shopping, so I always have one unopened container on hand.

I'm obsessed with litter stockpiles!

In my bedroom there is a 20 pound jug. Another 20 pound jug under the bathroom sink. a 40 pound pail in the office closet and another 40 pound pail in the pantry. I typically have more but funds are tight, and I just went through 2 20 pound bags of Cat Attract litter a few days ago.

Small apartment, two cats - one 20 lb. bag lasts a couple of weeks and then I restock.

At one time in the summer I had 25 bags of litter about half a ton.
Now I am down to 240 pounds , as they go through 40 pounds a week.
They throw so much out, that I have to have a dust pan to recycle it back in.
The Kitten Trio dig and dig and dig.

At a place called Pet Club they always have Ever Clean on sale once a month so I stocked up and I bought 5 25lb boxes of it. I also still have another 25lb box from a previous time. At Petsmart I like to buy the Odor Eaters litter and they also seem to have this on sale a lot. I have a 20lb jug and a 28lb bucket of this. So I currenty have 198lbs of litter. Wow!!!! I must be obsessed.

I went shopping a few days ago; I bought 10 boxes of 4 kg .
My shopping cart was filled completely, which drew lots of attention by other shoppers

You people are TOTALLY hilarious!

I buy 3 40-pound bags at a time and then go home and use them. (1 bag per floor with a little to spare)

After all, I doubt that there will be a cat litter shortage in the near future. (LOL)

At Petsmart I like to buy the Odor Eaters litter and they also seem to have this on sale a lot. I have a 20lb jug and a 28lb bucket of this.

I've seen the Odor Eaters brand there, but haven't tried it. How does it work? Does it clump really well??

I have tried the Nature's Miracle litter, which I thought worked really well, but a few of my guys downstairs refused to use the litter box if it only had that in it. So, I had to put in other clumping litter to go with it. The fosters upstairs used it and had no issues with it.

Normally when I go to PetSmart, I would buy 4-5 of the largest boxes of the Exsquisicat brand clumping litter. I thought it worked ok, and for the money, it was good. I do like the new formula that Scoop Away is using. It's been clumping great, and works well on the smell.

I guess normally I have about 2 - 40lb pails unopened, plus one opened pail in each foster room and then another open pail in the downstairs for Furbee's potty in the kitchen, and another open pail in the "litter room" on the 2nd floor. The manager at PetSmart said the last time I stocked up "Either you have a lot of cats, or there's a mountain lion in your house!" LOL!

Yes, I think it does but I also mix it with the unscented Everclean. I also like the fact that it has a nice smell that's not overpowering like some of the scented litters. Catnapper was the one who started using it and started a thread about it so I decided to give it a try.

20 lbs or so of Freshstep cat litter last me a month or so.I alwas have a little extra on hand but not much.

[momtomany]

Being proudly owned by my 11 furbabies, and supplying them with 5 litter boxes, I usually go thru 80 to 100lbs of liter (Tidy Cat) a week, keeping one 35lb bag on hand. I buy mine at Publix because it is actually cheaper than at Pet Smart and I spend a lot at Pet Smart every week. In addition to my 11 at home, I have three stray/feral colonies that I feed daily. Reading this thread today has really brightened my day. Ahh, the things we do for our babies.

Litter users - I was thinking of switching Cassie from clay to clumping litter -- right now we use Tidy Cats with either the blue or red stripe on the label and I'm not unhappy, but I'd like to change the entire box less often. I get the 10-pound bag of Tidy Cats at the supermarket because the monster bag (although a better bargain) is heavy! The shelter used clay litter so we've stuck with that all these years - is it too late to switch to clumping litter?

Tell your hubby I feel his (back) pain!

No hubby, just me ... every now and again I borrow my upstairs neighbor's wheeled shopping basket, thank goodness for that and a building with an elevator because my parking space is a long walk from the door with a big bag of cat box filler. When the monster size is on sale, and my neighbor is home to lend me his shopping basket, that's a wonderful combination of events.
