Lauren, sand is the most creative litter option I’ve ever heard of. I love it!

Cornelius, hmm, you’re supposed to just leave the disintegrated pellets in the box? Interesting. I’ll have to read the instructions.

Thanks, Dani, for the tip about the Wal-Mart crystal litter. I’ll definitely check that out.

The crystal-type cat litter has eleminated the “cat-box” odor from our house. Wal-Mart had a generic brand that was actually better than the more expensive name brand, but some idiot in California had it recalled because the packaging said it was germicidal, and it really wasn’t. (But who cares? It’s for poop.) The company is re-packaging them and they should be back on Wal-Mart shelves soon.

I’m a fan of the pine and newspaper litters, and think you may have missed one major point….we don’t scoop the liquid. We’re just supposed to let it dry out and turn to dust at the bottom of the pan. If you use it as the directions show, i really do like it better than other options.

Great article, thanks for that. Unfortunately there are only a few products available here in Spain so I buy whatever they have in the store

I had 3 cats, but I lost one a couple months ago due to some urinary problems. What I suspected was the fact that some crystallized clay littler had entered his rectum and expanded in his stomach soaking up the water in his body and ultimately killing him.

Here’s what’s ironic about that, the natural litters just don’t work and they end up smelling horrible so my options are kind of slim. In some cases, I take the sand (Florida) from the backyard, sift it out, and use that. Water particles go in between the grains, but there is no harm to my cats.

A very detailed and informative article. Like most cat families we have tried all sorts of cat litter. My firm favourite is the own brand clumping cat litter from Pets A Home. It has fine grains and it is the best I have found for minimising smells and the cats like it. I can’t use a covered tray because one cat objects, but I use a plastic door mat under the box and it catches any bits that would track into the house. It lasts a long time so I think clumping litter is good value.
