are you guys still using this cat litter for Apollo? I’ve been reading a lot of reviews about this litter (pet food direct, Amazon) and some of them are reaally negative, but i’d really like to switch to something more organic, and i can’t decide, some customers claim there was a quality change and this litter no longer works as well as it used to? I just hate inhalling that awful tidy cats litter when ever i clean out his litter box.

I go through a lot of litter. With three cats and five litter boxes, you can just imagine. One of my cats is asthmatic, so I switched to Yesterdays News. My cats– who didn’t like crystals when I tried those– loved this immediately. I love it because it doesn’t smell like, well, clay cat litter. I clean the boxes 3-4 times a day, so “cat smells” are never a problem. My only issue with it is the price and the fact that I go through it so much. They used to put coupons in all the bags, but those are few and far between these days. Which is too bad, because I need all the help I can get!

We use Swheat Scoup at our house, and keep the litter box right next to the toilet. LOVE it because of the same reasons you posted above: no chemicals, it’s flushable and it doesn’t smell. I mean, it doesn’t smell like gross perfumey kitty litter AND it doesn’t smell like kitty pee. This stuff is great. The only time I ever get an odor out of that box is when someone forgets to “cover up her work” in there, if you know what I mean. And that’s saying something with three cats!
One thing that is recommended by Swheat Scoup is to “pretreat” your litter box before you pour the fresh litter into it. They suggest spraying the sides and bottom with non stick cooking spray. Which seems really odd, but holy heck, does it work!! No more scraping clumps suck to the bottom! And you can even get organic spray, so again, no harmful chemicals for Kitty.
Also, I used this litter when I was fostering kittens. When kittens are starting to use the litter box you don’t’ want to use a clumping litter. The thought is that if they ingest it while they are exploring, it could clump in their little tummies and create a dangerous obstruction. This litter is essentially food, so I didn’t have worry about it!

@casacaudill: my little one tried to eat the WBCL when we first switched over as well and she still nibbles when I give her a fresh box. However, there is no doubt that it is her litterbox, not her feed bowl. I got her to switch by placing some old clumps from a dirty box near the entrance… that turned her off to the eating! Plus, if they do eat a little, it’s OK… it’s just corn!

Great, I’m definitely trying this out. My husband and I also have a disagreement about litter. He tries to buy the cheaper stuff sometimes, and I can always tell when he does, the sneaky bastard.

I commented on FB already, but I was incredibly surprised when Dakota decided she didn’t want to pee on her fancy new litter, but instead wanted to eat it. We seriously found her sitting outside the brand new litter box with the brand new litter, going at it like a giant bowl of corn. Needless to say, we quickly replaced it with regular litter.

I just wanted to add that it seems a bit pricey at first, but it really does last a long time. And, PetSmart regularly has it on sale.
