Had anyone try "Swheat Scoop" cat litter?? Thx

Yes, welcome to Pet Talk!!! I had to use that litter when one of the cats had the radioactive treatment for her thyroid. I did not like it. It tracked ALL over the place!!! As already posted, watch out for the crystals!!!!

I've found the old litter that we used tracks everywhere at home and Chole often have some stuck in her fur, I tried to brush it out, but I am sure she had already got some in her stomach!! And that's what worrys me, I've heard so many health risk with that.

Should I stick with the old litter? or should I try something else? Thanks for the help!!

p.s I have a 6 years old Goldern Retriever(CoCo) too...Chloe is like a daughter to CoCo, its fun to watch them...

As for a litter that won't track as much, I recently discovered Odor Eater's litter. I LOVE it. Its a bigger grain than the others and tracks far less. Tracking and the small grain of the A&H was the main reason I don't use it. The thing I don't particuarly like about the Odor Eater though is that its very heavy to sift through... but if you only have one cat, it won't be bothersome. (ahhhh the days of having only one cat, one litterbox, once daily scoopings.... I remember it fondly )

Be careful with PT though, we have a way of making people want more cats! I came here with just 2 kitties and now I have 5. I would have more if my finances would allow proper vet care for more. So until I win the lottery I have 5 cats and one very sweet 100 pound wimpy dog (and one betta - but technically, he's the cats' pet. They all told me they wanted a pet of their own )

I have used Swheat Scoop in the past and what a waste of money. The urine clumps on the bottom and is nearly impossible to scoop. I also didn't like the smell and the amount the cats tracked onto the floor. I use Kitty Litter Scoop by Purina, I love it!

A friend of mine is using "Even Clean" (the box is blue)..and she said she loves it...any info?

The thing is I live in Canada, and not all products are avaiable here....

Thank you sooooooooo much...

My hubby is editing Chloe's pix...next time I probably can show you guys how cute she is...I adopted her from a vet when she was 1 1/2 months old, she was a stray and caught by the vet's assistance along with her three brother and sisters!! They were so lucky..it gets to -30 in the winter time there...and my parnets wanted to adopte her brother, but when they got to the vet, its already gone...

Sorry, Casio, I should have said "welcome" in my first post. I'm pretty new also, so tend to forget.

I seem to be the only one who likes to use SWheatScoop. I think it's because I decided I wanted to get away from any clay-based litter because it's healthier for me, my cats and the enivronment, and have found a way to live with the inconveniences. I used to use EverClean and it was very popular with the cats, very easy to clean - and very dusty. I've never been tempted to use the silica litters, the cats hate anything with pellets and I found the finely ground newspaper one fell apart far too easily.

Are the Arm&Hammer and Odor Eaters litters that others like clay based?

I wouldn't mind moving from SWheatScoop because it does track, but I'd want another that had no dust, no clay and which held the clump together.
