Cat's Pride Litter
I decided to try some "flushable" cat litter. The only
brand I could find locally is "Cat's Pride." It says on the box that it's "certified safe to flush," but is it really? Have any of you used it? Any comments? Thanks in advance, -- 8^)~~~ Sue (remove the x to e-mail) ~~~~~~ "I reserve the absolute right to be smarter today than I was yesterday." -Adlai Stevenson http://home.earthlink.net/~sme617 |

Even TP can cause your toilet to stop up. -- Cheryl |

We have used the former for several months with no problem, and this plumbing is OLD. You only flush the clumps. The rest has to go out as usual. |

Any comments? Thanks in advance, No. IMO you are asking for trouble - I have had many people comment that they got blockages from it. The stuff still expands, but not as much as regular litter. It's just as easy to scoop into a plastic grocery bag and throw it immediately into the trash. -L. |

Thanks in advance, I wouldn't flush any litter. Even TP can cause your toilet to stop up. Hmm. Just for a differing, "from experience" opinion, I've used quite a number of flushable litters, for approximately 7 of Meep's 8 years, in three different countries (I'm American, so the US is included) and have never had toilets stop up. I've used a couple versions of pine-based litter, as well as Swheat Scoop and Worlds Best. Had some problem with Swheat Scoop's really hard clumps, but I always broke them up before flushing. Worlds Best Cat Litter is our favorite (Meep seems to like it better than the rest too - less fanatical digging). Haven't tried Cats Pride yet, though. What's it made of? For myself, I'll never use a non-flushable again. jmc jmc usenet [at] jodi [dit] ws Any day you learn something isn't a total waste. |
