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. Chris -- 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. MaryL |

Christina -- http://www.geocities.com/christinamarie29/ourpage.html 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. Adam |
