We use Arm & Hammer, but when we ran out and couldn't get to the store right away I used some chicken feed...made of corn but processed so it was not dusty and absorbed liquid. The cats didn't seem to care and was good to use until we got to the store for more A & H.
|
I switched to Special Kitty about 1 1/2 years ago. It is great. I have no problem with smell at all. It comes in a pour out container.
We also get the same brand of cat food. They love it. |
I use "Fresh Step" which I purchase at Costco.
|
I also use World's Best with a litter locker. I also line the cat box with 3 mil thickness trash bags because they are actually tougher than cat box liners.

http://www.worldsbestcatlitter.com/ Testimony - I had this at a 50% mix with the clay stuff. I left for a week for my grandmother's funeral; a friend made sure they were fed. (I told her not to worry about the boxes). When I came back, I did not smell the boxes until I moved them to completely empty the pans & start over. I went back to Fresh Step |
As previously recommended World's Best Cat Litter is the best as far as I am concerned. I have been using it for several years. I find it very clumpable & easy to scoop. I also like that is made from dried corn & doesn't have an odor. I have 2 cats & don't have any trouble with cat box odor.

I have found all of your responses very helpful. Now I have to go and see what is available at my local Pet Valu and Global Pet Food. I'll get DD to check at Cosco too as we are miles from one. Thanks for all of your suggestions.

Just a double post.

I only use Pro Pet Fresh Results. It is made from ground up corn cobs (very green) and works great. Clumps as well as any other clumping litter. Smells fresh and it weighs about half of what regular litter weighs.

I use the new crystals and they are great. Wouldn't use anything else.
|
Hands down, the best litter. I have used them all and my nose is uber sensitive to smells and fragrances. You should try it.

I'm loyal to Fresh Step. There is never a litter box smell.

Over my 20+ years as a Cat Servant I've tried most of the litters mentioned so far, and since I tried Wal-Mart's Special Kitty have stuck with that. 28 lb box is $6.85. Scooping twice daily, I've never had to totally empty and refill the pan, though I do add a little baking soda on a rare occasion. Although the litter is marked as scented, it has little or no odor itself and does not leave my furbabies smelling of added fragrance, both requirements for my allergies.

Baking soda....add to any litter.
|
I use arm and hammer.
I just got a litter locker and I LOVE it - it is wonderful. good luck, Scherrie |
I have used cat litter we buy at Sams Club and I am telling u it is the best ever, ever. It is about $9 for 40 lbs. and it has a nice smell, very little but boy does it work. U have to at least try it if u have a Sams Club near you. It is the only place I have ever seen it and only one they carry. WalMart does not even carry it, just Sams Club. It comes in a bucket and is called LitterClean, all neutual and triple odor......it works so great, u do not even smell it except when u put it in the box. I am telling u, if it does not work and u like it, I will give u the money back.....that is how I know it is so great.......u must find it and all of u on here........unbelievable.

And that's why there are so many brands of litter available, because we each have our respective likes, dislikes. experiences and opinions. :)

We have two cats. I have found the litter at Costo to be the best for us. We also use a citrus spray or powder that works wonders too. I think it's called Purrfet Litter. It's about $7. for a 30# bottle. It beats all the others I've tried. I also clean it every other day. I think that's the main thing. If their box is full, they find a carpet - not even a washable rug. We travel in a 37' 5th wheel for several months a year and smells travel fast. Since the box is under the dining table, it is very noticable when it smells. Some litters I have used, broke the scoop, others don't stay clumped. This clumps nicely. Hope this helps. ;)

I use Fresh Step and my cat, Peppie, has not complained about it yet.

Well you just hit one of my favorite subjects. If I could give away any of my senses it would be my sense of smell.
I can't stand any of the clay, paper, etc litters. The BEST is "Sweet Scoop". It is made from wheat and the enzymes eliminates any odors. It clumbs very well and has no chemicals. I am down to 3 cats from 5 and they all use the same litter pan. It's available for multiple cats. I use an old baby bathtub so it is large and deep. I keep a covered potty pot and scoop at least twice a day. The litter is flushable but with so many cats I perfer to toss it out. Hopes this helps. |
I use Arm and Hammer and also sprinkle it with A&H baking soda. Have never noticed a litter box odor. I clean it everyday, too.
|
Fresh Step scoopable but I also empty both boxes twice a week and wash them out with Pine-Sol.
