What Kitty Litter Works Best?
 

Hi I'm new here, although I've been "lurking" and reading the posts for a
few days. I have two male cats (brothers) Scooby and Sylvester who will
make a year on May 1st. I have tried all types of different litter, the
scoopable, non-scoop, scented, unscented. I guess I'm just curious as to
what works best for everyone else who is a cat owner. The past two weeks I
have switched to the non-scoopable Tidy Cat and find myself having to dump
it and hose it out, dry, refill daily. Is this the best method? When I use
the scoopable litter it leaves little clumps and just never seems very clean
to me, which is why I'm emptying it on a daily basis. Thanks for your
suggestions! Also, if I can ask one more question, I bathe them once a week,
is that too often?

As you can tell, I am a fairly new "mommy" of these kittens so I need all
the advice I can get.

Thank you Mary. Mine are also indoor cats. I don't have a flea problem
with them at all...but like I said I'm new to having cats and I was reading
somewhere that it was okay to bathe them once a week (or recommended) if
there was a problem with someone in the house with allergies. They don't
have any health problems, either. Thanks for your response.

Responding to your question on bathing: My cats are indoor-only cats, and
I
*never* bathe them. Cats are very clean animals -- "self cleaning," as
Adam
so aptly described it. Unless you have problems with fleas or some health
issues, I would be surprised if you needed to bathe your cats so
frequently.

With scoopable litter there should be no need to change the litter for a
month or so. Organic litter such as Swheat Scoop or World's Best may be
healthier as it has no silica and other chemicals. Cats are self cleaning so
bathing them is optional.
