The pearls are horrible. They may have reformulated them now, so I think they
are a little bigger (?), but originally, they were really small, perfectly
round pearls and they get everywhere! Monkee would inadvertently track them
out of the litter box with him on his feet and then they just roll everywhere
(even with carpet) because unlike the crystals, they are round and smooth. I
would find litter pearls in the oddest places of my house- the farthest corner
away from the litter box and it used to drive me crazy! I also found Monkee
"playing" with them a few times- batting them around like little beads- and
trying to pick them up in his mouth! And this way before the crystal-eating
due to anemia- this was back in the beginning of his reign over me- so it was
definitely "playing" picking them up in his mouth like he would do with my
beads I used for jewelry making! So, I had to stop using them immediately...he
thought they were play-things!

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

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. :)~Michael
