You gals have persuaded me to try the corn and/or the Shweat stuff. We have four cats and the smell can get pretty awful. Arline, I'm so glad you mentioned you're on a septic system; us, too. "Flushable" litters don't always work for us, especially the ones that have (gag!) chlorine mixed in.
Karla, you might want to try a more gradual switch to suit your finicky feline. That's what most cat pros recommend -- mixing a little of the new stuff in with the old until they get accustomed to only the new. Cats. as I'm sure you know, absolutely hate changes of any kind. My cats seem to adapt faster than most to litter changes, though, so maybe it's just "luck of the draw."
Extra-smelly cats sometimes just need to have their anal glands expressed. (Yeah, I know. Euww!) If you ever see you cat "scooting" (dragging their butts along the floor by their front feet), this is likely to be the cause. Vets can do the job quickly, and often don't charge as much as even a regular office visit, it that's all that's wrong. Ask them to show you how to do it yourself, if you're brave. |

Hi Margo, I have found the "World's Best" litter at some Walmarts, not all carry it, and at Petco. It works wonderful |
