...cheap cat litter, with no pine. We have a kitty that was born in insulation as a kitten, and along with having really small nasal cavities, whenever we use pine bedding(because my fiance's parents have a Cattery, and that's the cheapest thing to buy in mass bulk that lasts a while), she gets all snorky. I've been using saline drops to help her congestion, but it always goes away when we use paper shavings, which.....honestly don't work that well at all. I know there's been several threads about cat litter, so I know the options. I *believe* the pine shavings are kiln-dried(I can check later on today), so I think it's the dust causing the problem, because it does kind of *poof!* when dumped in the litter boxes.
I was thinking of Shweat Scoop - I've seen it in the grocery stores, but I was wondering...how long does one box(I don't know the sizes, sorry) last for those of you who use it? And...how many cats do you have?
We have three cats - all with very active bladders - and three deep litter boxes to fill. With the pine shavings we just replace the dirty contents with fresh, clean, stuff, but I don't mind scooping out waste to make it last longer, either.
Something that I could get in bulk would be awesome, with low-no dust, that wouldn't be harmful if ingested... I use paper shavings for my small animals' litter boxes, and I share some for the cat litter boxes once in a while to give our kitty's nasal cavities a break, but putting it in their litter boxes makes it go WAY too fast, and I just can't afford to do that right now.
So any ideas?
