I agree Susan. I think with a couple of cats, the wheat or pine would be great but when the numbers are constantly changing and you sometimes have a Mom with kittens in a bathroom, an older litter in another room and some adults in yet another room, you have to use what keeps the smell down :) Due to fostering I have repainted the study 3 times and the guest bedroom twice. HOW can kittens get poop 4 feet up a wall??? :) Oh, best invention EVER for a foster household is a Lampe Berger (Winterwood is my fav oil). If you don't have one, I HIGHLY recommend getting a couple. They are pricey but SOOOOOOOO worth it. http://www.lampeberger.us/lampe-berger-official-website-luxury-fragrances-for-the-home
