Dixie gets the pearls hung in her paws and, well, it irritates them. That is
why she and I like the chrysals.

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

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. :)
