We have two cats . Have had cats for 40 years. What we have found that works best for us is simply buy the cheapest , non scented litter we can find..... We don't put in a large amount in the box and then change it daily. We buy a new litter box every few months. We have a Maine Coon cat ( large) and we have to buy larger, taller plastic boxes as a regular litter box is way too small.

Maybe we're "nose blind" but we don't have an odor problem. When strangers come to our home , they seem surprised that we have cats.

I'm lucky that my cat isn't too brand loyal. I don't change brands unless I have to, but we've moved 7 times together and have had to change litters out of necessity. For example, when I moved to Can-eh-duh I couldn't buy the brand she had used in Alaska. When I moved back to Texas, I couldn't buy the brand she had used in Can-eh-duh.

Since moving to Texas, I've been using Dr. Elsey's Ultra Unscented.

One of the better purchased I made was a Litter Genie Plus Cat Litter Disposal System. I scoop into it, pull back the trap door, the nasty drops into the liner, release the trap door, close the lid, and the scent is double sealed in there. When it gets full, I use the built in cutter, tie a knot in the sack, tie a knot in the new liner, and take the sack out to the garbage.

Well, we have 10 cats and I think we use Tidy Cat.....non-clumping, but we also mix in clumping litter. I forget the brand, but it’s not top shelf. I think it’s about a 50/50 mixture.

We have six litter boxes in the house, three upstairs and three downstairs. All are cleaned once a day.

Same deal with our white one. The size and smell must embarrass her.

Medical note. About 4 years ago the white one started puking everything. We tried all kinds of food, different amounts, different times a day, didn't matter. This went on for months. Took her to the vet, said she seemed normal. Few months later it looked like she was on her final leg so I took her to the vet one last time. They x-rayed her. said it looked like she might have intestinal cancer. Brought her home to die and wife gave her a treat.... a big bowl of milk. That was it man! 5 minutes after drinking that she took the biggest shit you have ever seen! So about every 4 months she goes into a puking spell and we just give her some milk, she takes a shit and life is good again. She is 16 so like old people guess she needs a laxative.

PrettyLitter, which helps track the cat's diabetes, is a color-changing litter. It is the best, cleanest litter out there but cost $22 per bag (which they claim is a month's supply). Two bags would be more like it. You'd still have to clean the box 2-3 times a day for zero odor.

Or set up the box inside of a L.C., the feline version of a 'water closet'. Complete with negative pressure venting to the outside.

As far as the running cat? It probably feels good to take a dump and hav that baggage out of their bodies. We humans do not go tearing down the halls, but who does not feel better after taking their morning dump? Followed up, naturally, in this TP-depleted world, with a nice shower and fresh clothes?

Scoop away

Tidy Cat at this house. With my back problems, I have a hard time bending over to clean the litter box everyday so it usually gets cleaned every 3-4 days and the Tidy Cat seems to handle the odor problems.

After years of buying clumping litter (Sam's Club) I have moved to pellets for litter.

The pellets are bedding material available from Tractor Supply for $5.99.

The pellets turn to saw dust when wet.

I have a sifting box made from two 32QT sterlite (sp?) containers I purchased at Walmart. The top box has 100 1/4" holes drilled in the bottom. I put a pee pad in the bottom box which makes cleanup easier. I empty bottom box once a week. You have to shake/move pellets around to sift dust down to bottom.

Poop will stink if cat does not bury and you don't want to stay too long in the box. This is the biggest downside. no smell from urine.

There is a youtube video that I mostly followed to make this box.

No problems from cat migrating from clay litter. I mixed some pellets in with clay for a few days then went to just pellets. 10 year old male cat.

System works for us.

Bombs away!!

This quarantine stuff is really starting to get to us. We now have a two page thread on kitty litter!

Having a cat means being aware of the latest trends in pooping equipment. And my cats all have been equally concerned with me pooping. They all enjoy watching me when I am on the throne.

^^^ ain't that the truth ^^^

Years ago, when my cat was a youngster she not only showed concern on my pooping but showed solidarity. This was back when I lived in SoCal and there was a large space to the right of the toilet so I positioned the covered litter box there. When I would have a seat on the throne, she would enter the litter and sit there with her head sticking out the door and she'd be grinning. Yes, she's a weirdo.

Lots of cat owners have installed kitty water fountains on their toilets recently. I'm waiting for the YouTube videos to follow of cats playing with theses fancy toilet seats.

Set up more boxes for them to use.

Scoop them more often.

Cats don't like the smell any more than you do.

Dr. Elseys Multi Cat Litter

The boxes get cleaned and scrubbed every two weeks.

The other thing is our cats like to stand and pee so we use the large storage containers as litter boxes. This way they can pee on the tall plastic and not the wall behind.
..

one box won't cut it,

and that brand cat little does good

Equine Fresh Pellet Bedding, 40 pound bag, $5.99 from the farm store. Works great for our cats.

Try Boxie Cat. It’s our best selling litter at our pet store. They also have a frequent buyer program where you earn free bags.
