Scented Cat Litter?
I don't really understand it. I don't have an overly sensitive nose but
any time I bought (not on purpose!) scented cat litter it made me flinch. Cats noses are much more sensitive than mine. Who at the litter factory thought adding perfume is a good idea? It's like stepping into an elevator with someone who just couldn't resist using *all* the scented bath products that came in that holiday gift set. LOL It's funny to think [people think] cats like perfumed cat litter. I can't see why they would. I felt horrible the one time I bought Arm & Hammer litter for Persia. I guess I wasn't paying attention; I figured baking soda, okay. I didn't realize they had also dumped a bottle of flowery perfume in it. Yikes! I see ads on TV for scented cat litter and have to wonder why. Is it for people who can't be bothered cleaning the litterbox? What say you? Yay or nay to scented cat litter? Jill |

I can imagine it causing some cats avoiding the litter box altogether. That's the way I feel about it. It seems to me people who use scented litter don't bother to keep the litterbox(es) clean. Cats don't like dirty litterboxes, either. I didn't know a thing about cats when Persia came to live with me. But I did know enough to keep her box scooped. There was never a need to cover it up with scented stuff. When it came to strangers Persia was pretty much a hidey-cat. The only reason people knew I had a cat because of the toy mousies scattered around the living room. It was certainly not due to any sort of stench emanating from the litterbox. Jill |

Jill Nay to scented, but... What about clumping or not clumping? I wonder if many are still using not-clumping, and if there are some good reasons why? Obviously, from the above, Pit2nya is using clumping. Sylvia |

Sylvia I think clumping is far superior, both because it is easier to use, and because the urine-soaked litter doesn't stay in the litter box when you clean it. I think it's more sanitary and less messy. -- Joy Unlimited Colorful Crocheted Critters Photos at http://www.PictureTrail.com/joy9 |

Jill Older cats do not like changes and you can tell real fast if your cat does not like the scented litter when they start doing their business outside the litter box. The only success I had with scented litter was with a kitten and then I was stuck buying that brand the rest of the cats life. Unscented is the only way to have a happy cat. |
