Does anyone know if these litters work in the litter robot? And how bad they track?

I miss the smell of newspapers.
I miss the docket.
"Mr. Smith called the police on Mrs. Smith at 000 Generic street for assaulting him with a mitten."
"An inebriated man was taken into custody for offering cocaine to a seeing eye dog."
"A brick was missing from the junk pile of the address of where ever, police have no leads".
Come on. :crackup:

I also miss the badly edited headlines, but my friend Mr. Leno fixed that on the Tonight Show many years ago :thumbsup:

1 bruce 1 1 bruce 1 I believe you can order the New York Times Sunday edition delivered (it will be mailed) any where in the US. It should provide enough for two litter boxes a week. You may need help lifting it and your mailman might leave you nasty notes.
:crackup::crackup::crackup:
I'm one step ahead of you, I print out the same edition from the internet every day and make my wife buy ink at the pace of a gazelle :flail:

Thanks for the tip! I tried a bag of the pine pellets out on the girls and they were like yours. They refused to step on them. Even if they were in a box mixed with their regular litter. The two of them have five boxes and I'm glad I only tried the pine pellets out in one of them. They would have revolted and started using my pillow instead. :gaah: :running:
You might try doing what I did to get my geriatric cat to use pine pellets. She wouldn't use it at first, but then I wetted a good deal of it so that it would turn to sawdust and be softer. Then she took to it.

If this chick feed is corn or grain based, I would be very cautious if you have ever had mice. I used the Worlds Best litter, which is corn, and had a massive mouse infestation even though I had never had a single mouse before using this litter.
My Ladies would love a mouse infestation! It would be the shortest one on record. Even little bugs are hunted, captured, frolicked to death and eaten (partially).

I am almost sure that my cat’s lower airways disease was triggered by corn litter.
I liked walnut litter but all three brands I used were too dusty :(
I don't know if this will work for you, but I saw a video once where a guy used a shop vac when he filled his litter box. He laid the hose on the edge with the vac on and poured the (clay) litter near the nozzle. He showed the contents of the vac and it did suck in a fair amount of dust.

I switched from sWheat Scoop to chick crumbles about 6 months ago when the sWheat went up $5 to $42.99 a bag in Canada. I also read all the threads before I did the switch.

I buy the chick starter crumble- 50lb bag for $16 Canadian. To me it looks and performs the same as the sWheat Scoop.

My cats have never tried to eat it and I’ve had no issues with bugs or mice. Before the switch I used sWheat for over a year.

I live in a condo so I needed flushable and I also am concerned about the carbon footprint of clay litter. I don’t think a lot of people think about that.

Yes- I’ve checked with my municipality and I can flush as I don’t live near the ocean or I can put it in my city’s green cart.
I'm surprised your municipality said this was ok. I have read that it is never ok to flush cat waste as they can't filter the toxins out. I'll have to read up on it again.

I use the horse bedding pellets, you know the wood pellets i think its pine from dels farm store...I dump it into a square tray the one for holding garden pots and shake it like a pan of gold. The pee dust falls down on to the newspaper...

Is this what you all talking about? Id never use anything else, its like 10 bucks for a 40 pound bag...
What a great idea! I actually made a sifter :ruminating:
