Hi,
We have four adult cats and I've always used regular cat litter with a newspaper liner in four separate litter boxes. It's a lot to manage with changing it every day, so I thought I would try the scoopable litter.
I purchased a 40lb box of the store brand scoopable litter to start, and lined each of the four boxes with about 3" of litter.
I'm noticing the clumping is not sufficient to keep the urine balls together, and in the process of scooping them, the clumps somewhat come apart, leaving some of the urine and litter mixture behind.
These little bits that are left behind have a very strong ammonia smell, defeating the purpose.
Is this a symptom of the store brand litter, or is this what I should expect with this scoopable/clumping litter box format?
Meanwhile, I have 3" of litter in these litter boxes that has little bits of clumps and urine smell and I don't know what to do with it. Is it all lost now and I should dump it?
