    What do you use in your litterboxes?

    Just a random question.

    I use basic clay litter, and yeah, it stinks, lol.

    What do you use to keep the smell down?

    I've been using crystals in my boxes since this summer. I've bought Mimi Crystals from Walmart, as well as Fresh Step Crystals. I like them both. It dries out the poop, the pee dries out as well, and makes cleaning the boxes a breeze (which is done at least once a day for all 10 boxes). There's hardly any dust either, which is a major plus. It may not mask odor right when the cats poop, but I can handle that.

    I use Feline Pine. It does a good job with the smells and I just like the overall performance of the product.

    I use the clumping special kitty kind at WalMart. I am THRILLED with it! For 7 bucks a box, it really does work great for me!

    I HATE HATE HATE the smell of Fresh Step... It sticks to my skin, and I smell of it all day long Scoop away is the same way

    The Wally Worlds newer kind, with Crystals, is also good if they dont have the kind I get


    Thank you so much Michelle!

    I've been BOO'd!!! Thanks Lori!

    Wanted to add: I used to use the non clumping, and it was AWFUL! With 11+ boxes to clean twice a day, it STUNK and was just a mess to clean up.

    I had to completely dump the boxes daily... It cost too much and was of no use to me! It made my life harder, and having to carry 10-15 bags of old litter outside everyday was a daunting task in itself, and when my Husband had to take them to the dump, he was infuriated He said he is going to use the potty bags as weights in his work out room


    Thank you so much Michelle!

    Been using Tidy Cat clumping litter for years. It makes a lot of dust, but my boxes all have hoods on them, so that keeps the dust down.

    I use unscented(MollieRose has allergies)scoopable and I scoop twice a day to keep the odor at a minimum.

    We use the clumping litter - that old clay stuff is sooo nasty! Either Special Kitty from Walmart 28 lb box, or Sam's in the 40 lb bucket! It goes a long way - but then there is only one litter box for the 2 girls and it gets cleaned twice a day.

    any kind of Tidy Cat Clumping-Fresh Step-EverClean-Arm and Hammer-Special Kitty Clumping.
    Anything I can get my hands on!
    I used to keep it in a small tote out in my entry way and put a couple of scoops in every time I scooped. At one point I had about 80+ pounds of litter in a small tote.
    One of my favorites is Tidy Cat Small Spaces. Its a bit pricier and harder to find but it works well for my small house.
    I bought the Big Fresh Step automatic Cleaner when I was off with my broken foot last year thinking it would be easier since I was in a wheelchair. But the cats were terrified of it. I sprinkled baking soda over it and it would only cycle thru if the cat jumped in and out (motion sensored) and the baking soda remained unchanged for over a month.
    So I emptied it out and boxed it up and took it back and got a full refund at PetCo. So I've given up the novelty of automatic litter boxes!!

    When budget allow it's Arm & Hammer. Either Mulit cat or Odor Alert. When budget DOESN't allow, what ever's available at either Dollar General or Family Dollar.

    I do thank the lord I have tile floors. I don't know how the Edster spreads it out over the whole house!
