Give the SCOOP on your litter. It wil save lots of people some trial and error time. Thanks!

Thanks everyone!

Harley hates the WBCL, so it is back to our standard:
Pet Gold Plus.

It controls odor and clumps well.

It is $10/30 lbs. at PetCo.

We let the 'bot scoop.

You can refill the containers at the PetCo for a cheaper price.

I have the Litter Robot and I use Arm & Hammer Scoopable unscented litter, which is a lil pricey... $7.89 for 14lbs. But it works good.. controls odors pretty well. I also mix regular baking soda into it, and I never have any odors at all.

I've found that scented litters put off strong odors, so I personally don't care for any of those brands...

Cas... is the Pet Gold Plus scented or unscented? I've seen it at Petco, but never tried it. It's alot cheaper then Arm & Hammer... if it's unscented, I think I'll give it a try...

Ash-

The pet gold is unscented, so you might try it and see. They have it in smaller volumes if you wanted to try a smaller amount first.

p.s. kitties are doing well - back to normal for the most part.

Thanks Cas, I'll give it a try..

I use clumping " Litter Purrfect", which is sold in Costco warehouses 30lb/$6.75. I also buy "Arm and Hammer" cat litter deodorizer (around $3). Together they work perfectly well.

i use Litter Clean, you can get it at Sam's Club. its a 40 pound tub for 7.98 or something close to that. it is scented but not strong at all, the computer is in the same room and i never smell the scent. it clumps really well and tracking isnt too bad. it eliminates oders pretty well when the cats remember to cover their stuff. i have a littermaid currently, so i only scoop when it screws up (just ordered my litter robot today - SO EXCITED)

We use Arm & Hammer unscented scoopable and have really liked it. It's usually only $10 for 34 lbs. at Target.

We are consider switching to Swheat, just because our little guy does tend to track the A & H around.

Sweat doesn't work with the LR, if I remember correctly.

We actually use Omega Paw. Hopefully Swheat works for that?

I've used my Litter Robot for a year (and loving it!) Prior to that I had those self sifting boxes. For those I tended to get the hard clumping brands, my favorites were any Arm & Hammer clumping litter, unscented worked for me, because as long as you had enough depth in the box, the hard clumps would come right out.

With the LR, it didn't seem to matter what clumping litter I bought, until a store brand (Tops Unscented) must have changed their formula, because I noticed odor for the first time. The clumps were very soft, and broke open during the tumbling action. Such is the screening action in the LR that it didn't happen until near the end, so most of it wound up in the drawer anyway, but dropping them into the drawer made them break open completely, and that's where the odors got released. The drawer contains it pretty well, but I was used to better control than that.

I went back to Arm & Hammer and got improved results right away, even with half the litter being the off brand. I could have dumped the whole thing and started fresh, but I wasn't feeling well that day and just hoped for the best, which happened. The old litter will get used up.

We don't have any pet warehouses near us, so I've tried all the common supermarket brands, and have decided to stick with Arm & Hammer unscented from now on. The scented kinds aren't necessary with my LR, and I can always sprinkle some actual baking soda on it if I feel it's necessary, which has always worked well for me in the past.

In general, my 2 cats don't seem to care what kind of litter I use, as long as it's clean when they go to the litter box.

I have 5 cats and need to use a clumping litter due to the numbers. I don't have an automatic litter box yet, but hopefully one of the new Revolutions, if they turn out to be as hoped. However, I find my biggest problem is dust...on everything. Does any one else have dust problems and have they found one litter to be superior in this regard?

Thanks.

I have a Litter-Robot on order and is scheduled to arrive on Wednesday (12/28). I can hardly wait!! I was using Scoop Away Plus Crystals but recently changed to WBCL Extra Strength. My cats are happy with either. I made the switch mainly because it is supposed to be more environmentally friendly and less dusty (it is). I don't really notice any more tracking even though it is a lighter litter; I was really concerned this might be a problem. My cats already use a covered-type litter box as they are diggers. I plan to just replace their current litter box with the robot cold turkey. Knowing my cats, I can't imagine they will object. I will stay with WBCL at least initially. Anyone have an opinion on WBCL vs Scoop Away Plus Crystals with Litter-Robot?

World's Best Cat Litter (for multiple cats)
Works great, flushes with no problem.
Yup.
My cats have stinky poop and after a while of not changing the whole box it does get a bit stinky.
It clumbs great, some pee does get left over that breaks from main clumbs which causes some of the smell after a while.
Everytime I wander in and smell a bit or see a mess. It's in the bathroom so I just dump what I take out in the toliet.
Costs 7.99 at PetSmart (might be on sale w/ perks card)
