Kitty litter

[Sparklecoon]

I have never liked scoop away I think it had horrible odor control. I recently went from Feline Pine to Fresh Step scoopaway. It clumps nice and has great odor control!

I like the paw points program as well.

What's the paws program?

In the last 3 months at work we've seen 3 cats with allergies to Scoop Away which resulted in itching, scabs and hair loss. I don't know if it was a specific formula or just the brand itself, or just these particular cats. I've just never seen this many litter allergies so close together from the same name brand of litter before.

What's the paws program?

On marked boxes or in buckets of Fresh Step there is a code. You register online at www.freshstep.com and enter the code and you collect points for merchandise or coupons or free litter.

I use Tidy Cats Immediate Odor Control Scoopable and to me it smells like lilacs. I don't even have to add litter freshener to the boxes.

I've tried many many natural and scoopable litters and now I'm using unscented litter. My cats also prefer this. It seems like all of the new and improved formulas are just too strongly scented these days and if I think it's too strong then I know it's even stronger to my cats.

Ever since I had peeing issues I've switched to Dr. Elsey's Ultra Precious Cat Litter in my uncovered boxes and I also use Premium Choice Extra Strength With Baking Soda Crystals in my 2 covered boxes. Both are unscented and clump very well and there's very little dust. I scoop twice a day and there's no odor unless one of the cats has just recently done a big poo.

I recently switched to Arm & Hammer. I use either the Multi-cat or Super Scoop (I think that's what it's called!). The cats seem to like it better---I sure do. The cost over Walmart's brand is almost double, but I don't have to change it as often. With 12 boxes, it gets to be both time consuming and expensive. I did notice that there was quite a bit of dust when I pour it into the litter box. It clumps well and smells good for a long time, up to 2 weeks with twice-a-day scooping.

Only Joey has accidents now, and that's a whole different issue!
