I'm currently using Arm & Hammer Essentials I think it's called. I like it okay, but it tracks like crazy. I'm wondering if there might be something better out there....
I like Tidy Cats too but the original (non-clumping, red label). I think I've written to the company in the past telling them I think TC's odor control is superb.Originally Posted by farleyv
Tidy cat is my favorite. It clumps great and with 11 cats I need odor control and there is no litterbox odor in my house.
Oh wow, yeah I pay $30 for a 40lb super huge bag. Stuff lasts forever too, and I find myself just completely changing litter more as a precaution than an obvious need.Originally Posted by Momto3boys
I would love to use Swheat Scoop but it's $24.99 for a small bag at our local pet store, CRAZY!!
Geez, that's 2x as much as the Tidy Cats scoopable is near me for 40 lbs. I was thinking about switching, but not at that kind of expense.Originally Posted by Ducman69

How often do you have to completely dump the Tidy Cats though? If its twice as much, there is no price difference.Originally Posted by rad65

TidyCats, or any other clumping clay litter, can be done the same way. Just top it off when the level gets too low. It's the non-clumping litters that need to be completely changed out at least once a week.Originally Posted by Ducman69

There was a thread before for example where people were asking if they really ever had to replace Swheat Scoop, or if it could just be topped off to slowly and gradually replace the litter over time as its used.
I change it once a month, actually. And I could do that same topping up thing with the clay litter I use as well. I only change it fully because I want to clean the box itself.Originally Posted by Ducman69

They are sold as wood stove pellets. If they were marketed as cat litter, I suspect their cost-efficiency would go down as pellet makers would turn into greedy pet suppliers and shoot the price up ($30 for a "litter mat" vs $5 for a ribbed door mat that is the exact same thing)Originally Posted by SweetPea24
Where can you buy the wood stove pellets? Is it actually made for cat litter or do you just buy them as wood stove pellets and use them as cat litter?
