Rescue Daddy disagrees with me when I say cats are nastier than dogs. If a dog barfs at 3:00 a.m., something is wrong. Cats do it any day ending in “y.”
Cats also scatter kitty litter around the house like fairy dust, no matter how diligent a housekeeper you are. I have tried a couple of kitty litter brands that claim to reduce tracking, as it is called, but to no avail.
We are testing a brand called “World’s Best Cat Litter.” (Yes, that’s the name.) We are using the Scented Multiple Cat Clumping formula. We placed it in one of the litter boxes about two weeks ago. In the other box, we placed the brand we have been using for years.
This particular brand of litter is made from corn and does not have added chemicals. It does not contain silica dust so we did not need a mask when we dumped it into the litter box. The website states the litter is septic safe and flushable. We are not going to test that claim.
The kitty litter is scented with lavender oil. For the first two or three days, the whole house smelled like a big jar of Noxzema lotion. Then, the scent faded. Unfortunately, whenever someone had a #2, it did not mask the scent.
The website claims a 7-pound bag will last 30 days if only one cat uses the litter box. If two cats use the litter box, then it would last 15 days (logically). The litter is more expensive than traditional clay litters. However, if it can last as long as claimed, it could end up being less expensive in the long run. We find that we must replace the litter every week with our current brand.
When we first placed the litter in the box, the cats refused to use that box for several days. They have used the box a few times. So far, the litter is living up to its long-lasting effects – because the cats won’t use the box!
I really like that none of the litter has found its ways outside the litter box room. I also like that the product is natural. Inhaling all that silica dust cannot be good for the cats.
Cats are finicky about the kitty litter. We will continue our test. We will let you know if this one is a keeper!
