Litter box DUST from scoopable litter?
Comments (16)Update: We finally found someone to take the cats and NO MORE DUST! Oh and no more sinus troubles either!!!!!! I was taking sinus medicine every SINGLE day and I have not taken one single sinus medication since the cats moved out! Just FYI, the litter I was using was just the plain ol' scoopable that they sell at the Pet Supplies Plus that you can buy by the scoop or in a bag if you like. We had been using Scoop Away and it was just as dusty but I couldn't stomach the smell of that stinky stuff! Gross!...See Morewhat kind of cat litter do you use?
Comments (21)Everclean clumps really well. I've never noticed it stuck on my cat's paws. I use the Booda litter boxes so tracking is minimal but it's really the consistency of most clumping litter. It just contains odors much better and it lasts a lot longer. As mentioned, there's a good amount of dust when you first pour some in but I just keep the cats away from it while it settles so no one is actively inhaling it. I wish I could find a natural litter that works but I haven't been able to. I don't like the idea of them breathing in the dust but the natural stuff just can't control the odor for my 3 cats....See MoreCat not using litter box
Comments (10)Our cat Jack had this problem, too, but his poop had a lot of mucus in it. Our vet said that he had colitis (irritated colon) and switched him to prescription low-residue food. He thought that our cat had probably associated his litterbox with the discomfort he felt when pooping, thus the reason for avoiding it. The new food was better for him, and we didn't have trouble with him going outside the box anymore, as long as we kept him on the prescription food. Once Jack was healthy, the vet said that we could try gradually switching him back to his regular food (we had two cats, so feeding them different foods was inconvenient), but the same issues would reoccur. So (gross as it may be!) before you take him to the vet, take a good look at his poop for mucus, blood or anything else unusual so you will be ready if your vet asks you about it....See MoreDoes anyone use zeolite or kitty litter as a soil amendment?
Comments (9)I use pure, unscented kitty litter on the floor of my pigeon loft. The loft is small, 3' X 4' and 6' tall By the way it is designed, I do not walk into it and do all maintenance and care by reaching into it through its full length double screened doors. The pigeons are very tame and the frequent escapees taking advantage of the open doors, enjoy a short recess walking about the garden. They return to the loft on their own with only occasional, 'ushering back home,' by means of my long, bamboo cane when needed. They're like little children having a good time in a playground, then when tired, they make a beeline home for treats. Same with my pigeons. I use a lot of kitty litter, 40 lbs. every 6+- month removal and replacement. The depth of the kitty litter is 2". That's pretty deep purposely, because the occasional aerial flight miscalculation of a pigeon which results in a crash landing onto the floor (sometimes head first!), is softened by the deep litter. There have been no serious injuries. Pigeons can be clumsy, especially youngsters. I freshen up the litter every couple days by sifting through it, removing the droppings which I save. I put the year's supply of saved pigeon manure on the rose bed every November around Thanksgiving time. It's made of both green (recent), and composted (older), pigeon droppings of the past year, and mixed together. That's a year's output from 8 well fed pigeons, about 80 lbs. of pure pigeon (poultry), manure, applied in fall where the green manure component has plenty of time to decompose, cooling down, by spring. The spent kitty litter itself, I discard into household garbage for trash day pickup. Why I do not save it and use it on the rose bed is because being clay, it could make my soil become too moisture retentive and become denser/heavier textured. If my soil was sandy, I would try improving its tilth by adding the spent litter. Since my soil is pretty well constituent balanced as it is, adding clay would probably also require me to add aggregates, sand and small gravel, and more organics too, thereby possibly creating unwelcome pH issues.
