Clumps, or no clumps?
| 
May 5 18:08 UTC 2000 |
This is an item for the discussion of different types of kitty litter, what
you use, which one you prefer, and why? Is cost a factor? Clean up?

I use the scooping kind, and I buy whatever I can get in the big 28 # boxes
cheap.

I like that Papurr stuff (made from recycled paper) cause it's
flushable. :) Makes my life that much easier. Clumps well too.

I highly reccomend the scilica gel pearly litter.
You can literally ingore it for a month and it doesn't smell.

I've been stuffing them down woodchuck holes. I don't have cats
myself, so my duaghter is brining them back from a cat sitting job.
The idea comes from a document about the biology of woodchucks and
how to discourage them around your residence. However, I am not in the
market for an increased supply (before you ask....).

The papurr stuff has annoyed me, so we're back to clumping Tidy Cat...

the one problem that I face with the scilica gel litter is that it
tracks, and when it tracks there's like a gadzillion bb's on my
bathroom floor. They now have "reduced tracking" litter pearls, but I
dunno. I won'der if you can make scilica gel into little squares instead
of little beads that fucken roll everywhere. Other that that, it's the best
litter that I have ever used.

Crushed silica gel is an available product, and is like sand, not BBS But
it is a commercial product, and I don't know if it is available in the
'consumer' market.

if it were that would rule. Are there any health related matters with the
dust? I'll bet that you can buy industrial grade crushed scilica for a lot
less than freaking $8 a bag. (I usually get my litter for free, but it's
still expensive...)

Silicate dusts are bad news (silicosis). I don't know about silica get -
an MSDS would say.
