Tidy Cat
When I lived in central NY on a
farmette, my cats came in and out of the house at will. They often
did their duty outside, but especially in colder weather, they used a
litter pan. I used the cheapest litter and got away with that.
However, now that we live in the Finger
Lake region of NY State in a mobile home in a mobile home park where
they frown on the cats roaming freely, we have had up to 6 inside
kitties. That makes keeping the odor under control a priority.
I have experimented with different
litters. Some seem to work fairly well, but one only held up to
a week and needed the whole litter
changed weekly. That was not cost effective.
I have found Tidy Cat to my liking. We
purchase three 20 lb containers and it lasts a
whole month. We initially add around 4 inches of the litter in a
clean deep litter pan. As the volume gets scooped down, I add more
litter.
I scoop at least once or twice a day to keep
the pan neat and inviting to my 4 adult cats. The urine clumps very
well with Tidy Cat and by gently loosening that first from the bottom
of the pan with a firm metal scrapper, it makes scooping easier with
less loss of wet litter. This also helps with odor control.
There are a variety of Tidy Cat choices and
containers to choose from. I have settled on the Glade one with a
grey top for now. That does a good job for us.
Try out the kind that appeals to you.
I thought it would be more expensive, but actually I discovered it
costs slightly less per pound than some other brands and considering
that I have to buy less per month, I find it more economical.

Each cat has a unique personality and Pearl was one of my very memorable girls. Pearl was love and beauty. Very Photogenic awake, napp...
