I don't know. Needless to say PC likes the sand pile here but I don't know
about bringing clean sand in. I'm having thoughts about mixing it with silica
crystals (to absorb a lot of urine). With all the thoughts on litter lately I
just had to ask for opinions.

and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with their
fellow man.

Too dusty? Would it be sanitary?
I used to use Oil Dry (what mechanics put on garage floors to soak up oil).
It's not scoopable, of course, but inexpensive.

A question on this issue:
I was watching PC (outside cat who decided there was a cute little grey cat
and good food here). Has anyone used or considered using sand for litter?
Cheap, disposable???

If you have the patience and extra boxes you can line the bottom of a box
with newspapers and top with litter. The litter needs to the poured from one
box to another then the papers pulled and replaced. They absorb a lot of urine
and help with odor. I've done this a few times for cats who didn't want me
in their space to clean the boxes. It has been a while so you might experiment
with it.
If you keep an eye one Kroger's they put A and H on sale 2 for 1 every
3-4 months. Meijer's puts the silica on sale big time too. I get rain checks
and stock up big time.

I basically do the same thing. Clean one box and wash a day. 5 boxes.
Dr. Elsey's is expensive here. I use arm and hammer or something on sale at
walmart..... Litter is expensive. :(

Dr. Elseys' Ultra Precious Cats. I fill 2 boxes from one 40lb bag. I
have 6 boxes for 5 cats. I scoop 3 or more times a day. Dump each box and wash
with soap and water and refill with fresh litter once a week. I wash a box a
day (take Sunday off) so kittys always have one fresh box. I have 3 boxes in
each of 2 locations (3 on second floor and 3 on main floor).. I use the high
back boxes from Drs. Foster Smith. I don't buy the covers, just the boxes. If
they are more zealously using on box, I may have to add litter part way through
the week.
