hummh...I haven't seen this before...but if I could find something cheaper..and well absorbant..I am all in...
I must say...I am really peeved at the high priced commercial cost on litter...just ridiculous..and seems like when I do buy the boxes seem to be getting smaller...
as much as I do love my kitty...I am all for animals like rabbits..where the poop value...pays for itself in the garden ...

I don't have a cat any more, so I don't need to buy anything.

This one is mostly an outside cat. I think that's why his excrement reeks so horribly. Diet. He hunts.

We have had cats that would go outside and didn't have to worry about the litterbox but there are times when people must keep them in. If I have a choice I would rather have them go outside though.

My mom has indoor cats and one has smelly issues, so gross.

I don't do cats. I'm mildly allergic, and that's my excuse when my daughter asks for a kitten. But I really just don't like them and I don't do litterboxes. Bad mom here, lol

Outside cats potty for free. I've had outside cats that visited indoors but never went indoors...would wait by the door to be let out to go potty.

I'm not sure why folks won't use the composted litter on the garden...when it's composted, it no longer has the same components it did previously that would cause any issues. Just like any other poo and pee, be it human or animal, when it's composted fully it's safe for use on anything.

I don't worry about such things at all...my cats use my garden for their litter box and always have.
