Clay litter?

[catnapper]

Run, don't walk to claim Gus as your own kitty!

We have two cat boxes and use a cheap clumping litter. Allen is VERY picky about the cleanliness of his box but Pouncer would use his box even if I never ever scooped it. The whole number of boxes issue truly does depend on the cats. We have one box in the bathroom and another box in the basement. The box in the basement is HUGE and Allen tells me about his dissatisfaction with it if I don't scoop it religiously. Allen does not like the box in the bathroom because he's "shy" about doing his business where we humans might walk in on him. He will also only use the box in the bathroom to pee - never poo. I guess he's just nuerotic about his commode.

I have one cat and one box. I have held off getting another kitty b/c I don't have any extra room to 'quarantine' the newcomer or to put another box. B/c trust me I have had my eye on this girl since before Christmas!!!!

(My house is only about 700 square feet. I THINK, one bathroom, one kitchen, one living room, one bedroom and 2 closets! )
On another cat site that I am on they reccommended instead of buying a litter box, buying one of those Rubbermaid/Sterilite containers with a lid (that you wouldn't use) B/c they have really high sides and if the cat pees on the side of the box, it wouldn't leak. I use a covered box b/c of this, and b/c of the location of my box. It is in my walk in closet, right under where I hang clothes so I don't want my clothes falling in a dirty litter box. YUCK!!!
Like shown in my attachment. That is the 30+gallon I think. Holds over 50# of doggie food!
I use the Special Kitty Clumping litter. I keep it in one of the smaller versions of the Container I mentioned above. I think its about 18 gallons, and holds upwards of 75 pounds of litter!! And I have tried them all!!!! I used World's best, regular Tidy Cat, clumping Tidy Cat, pearls, CatOkay, and Feline Pine. I thought Feline Pine was the best thing since sliced bread until I started using the Premium Scoop from Pet Supplies Plus (which worked GREAT BTW). I finally have settled on the Special Kitty. For how long who knows!!
When I used the Premium Scoop then back to one bag of Feline Pine, I couldn't WAIT to use the Premium scoop or the Special Kitty again!!! I didn't think I had a pee smell until I went back to using that!!! I am glad it wasn't for very long!
I am not overly fond of the scooping, but Kylie is so laid back that I went a couple days over the weekend not scooping so I had my work cut out for me when I finally scooped, and she was so good.
That's my little Angel. And she wasn't one for covering her poo either until I started using the clumping, and now she does it almost everytime she uses it!
Good luck!!!

And I agree GUS is GORGEOUS!

Grover got spoiled to the arm and hammer scoopable litter, but my daughter went to the store the other day, and they were out! so she bought Tidy cats scoopable litter. She is very fickle about her litter box. I bought her another one and she took to it right away, so now her and Stubby have two litterboxes between them. They seem to be doing okay with the two. I took Debbies advice and put a nice rug under the boxes so now the tracking isn't so bad, thank you Debbie for that bit of advice.

Funny Stubby don't mind what kind of litter he uses, but Grover will not have the cheap brand at all! She is so fickle..

I use Purina Maxx Scoop, but I think that it is only available in Canada. It's GREAT.. I am very hesitant to try anything else. I have five boxes for three cats. (Can we say spoiled? )

Definitely Two Litter Boxes ,at least at first , as they will be territorial , for a while , even if the New Arrival is a Girl Cat! At The Found Cats I have 7 boxes , that are clened twice daily , as Moose The Magnificent and JJJ3 kick everything out , of thier Box , if it has been used. And Best Of Luck with the New Arrival , you are making space for another Cat!
