Even some of the litter companies mix the crystals and scoopable. I just
prefer to do it myself so I know what is what (and it is cheaper). I have gone
all silica with a cat and it was great. Aside from scooping out the poop
regularly the litter didn't need to be changed as long as it was absorbing
urine (about a month with this guy). And no urine odor. But, for a lot of
cats?????????

I'm going to try mixing some. I thought it should be all or nothing with the
crystals. And I can't afford to go all crystals.
thanks,

Sorry. silica pearls or crystals...............I'm building a house and my
mind wandered from litter to caulk to flowers.
Dixie doesn't like the pearls. They get stuck under her nails and in her
paws. They don't hurt but they aggravate. She is fine with the crystals. I
wish she would use them without the A and H but they make a lot of noise and
that upsets her.

Try the silica gel.............I mix it with the A & H scoopable and it
works wonders. I use Rubber Maid 18 gallon boxes or something similar too.

Subject: Litterboxes
Ok, guys, as you know, my cat population has grown to four. With
that comes an exponential number of litterboxes (three currently, thinking
about upgrading to four), and well, honestly, litter is getting a bit expensive
with all the other costs. I'm curious about what you guys use? Right now I
use Tidy Cats scoopable litter, and the Tidy cats litter deodorizer, too. I've
also been changing the boxes out completely every week (at least every other
week). This gets expensive, especially considering it takes a box and a half
to fill three boxes every week. The problem is if I don't change the box out
every week, it starts to smell, and one of the litterboxes is in the guestroom.
:(
So my question is, what kind of litter do you guys use, and what
protocol do you use to keep the odor to a minimum? What are the differences in
scoopable versus non-scoopable? I'd appreciate any opinions on the matter. :)
