Praise for kitty litter

[yrmencyn]

I'd just like to take a moment to give a quick shout-out to, of all things, kitty litter.  Tidy Cats just recently reformulated their clumping cat litter with what they call "Tidy Lock,"  and it works so much better.  I know this may not mean much to non-cat owners, but let me just outline this for the cat folk out there: I went away for almost 60 hours, left out food and water for my cat, and obviously left the litter untended.  I didn't get around to it until this morning, a good 72+ hours since it was last scooped.  There was zero smell.  And the little pee clumps, which used to have an appalling tendency to break open like little ammonia-scented stink bombs?  Firm and unyielding.  It's absolutely amazing, and I love it.  I know it seems weird to get so excited about the box my cat shits in, but it's just amazing!

A clumping litter that actually maintains its form when scooped out? This I must investigate. Also, have you found any liners that don't tear at the mere sight of a cat's claw..because the liners I use now suck ass.

My advice? Don't use liners. Beyond worthless. Maybe they work for declawed cats, but not for clawed ones.

It's always the little things that makes life enjoyable. My roommate can beat you out for the longest time spent between litter changing...I think it was a week.

Oh no, I've got that matched. And that was when there were two cats in the apartment. Ew. Never, ever, ever again.

Don't /even/ get me started on the Kelso house. I think once a month is lucky.

ok so that's good news...I'll tell the person who goes to the grocery next to get tidy lock. Usually only my cat uses it but every once and a while you'll see buddha fit his fat ass in there and use it. So yeah, My cat's poop stinks to high hell...and I TOTALLY know what you are talking about the pee breaking apart and turning into amonia bombs.

I find the Tidy Lock to be more clump-breakable then the regular (Multiple Cats formula). And smell stays about the same. I went back to the original. Don't mess with a good thing!
