In your experience, do you find that the pellets travel outside of the litterbox more, less, or about the same as traditional litter?

Definitely less. I have 2 cats using the same box and there is very little mess outside the box. Clean up is so much easier with the pellets than with traditional sandy litter.
882797
Much less. I rarely have pellets outside the box, while the litter was always all over the floor and tracked around the house.

Less, for sure... It doesn't get stuck between their paws. I have one that likes to play and he kicks tons of litter out no matter what kind I give him...So I end up with some pellets on the floor because he digs and tosses them out. They hurt when you step on them, but to me, it's no less annoying than stepping on regular litter, and since the pellets rarely make it outside the bathroom where their litter is, it's easy enough to just sweep up daily to keep from stepping on them.I'm not sure what another reviewer is talking about when they say the pellets are soggy and gross... The Breeze pellets are super hard and never get soggy. (Also, clumpy wet litter is SUPER soggy and gross.) Less, for sure... It doesn't get stuck between their paws.

I only used the pellets for a short time, but there was less mess outside the box. I have a cat who refuses to use the regular litter or the pellets to urinate. So I just use the pads. I put one on top and one in the drawer and she uses the breeze litter box to pee and regular cat litter to poop.

the same but it is worse to clean up because they are usually soggy and gross.

Less than traditional litter and easier to detect and pick up. Cats can kick it out of the box but it doesn't seem to stick to their paws and travel that way

Litter still gets tracked out from box - I believe however it has a lot to do with how much litter you put in the box in the first place. I probably tend to put in too much.

It does REALLY limit the litter mess from a traditional box. It does not 100% eliminate it though, they track a very trace amount out that is caught in their toes. It's very minimal though. With normal weekly vacuuming, all is gone in a flash. So, yes it does! Not to mention how amazing it is otherwise... hope this helps! I should mention I use the "dustless" litter I bought here on Amazon as well, so that's probably some of the reason it works better too.

Depends....camping? dumpster if in campground. Out in wilderness? Double bag & take with you. Using the pellets it's like having used cat litter, but lighter.

The first couple of days, I set the two litter boxes side-by-side just to see if the pellets would be used. Then started adding 1/2 cup of Tidy Breeze pellets to the clumping clay litter box about every three days until I had used about 1/2 sack of pellets. At this point, I started taking away the clumping clay box a few hours at a time and watched to see what would happen. I had to do this several times before a final change was made. It was a chore to clean the clumping clay box with the pellets, but the results were definitely worth it. When first using the pellets, cats will want to play with them if they can roll around. I would suggest putting some kind of rug under the litter box that extends out enough to catch pellets. I find this keeps them from trying to play with them;thus, possibly trying to put them in their mouths.

In my experience yes. There was a little but nothing like when I used regular arm and hammer and I inhaled cat litter.

I use Yesterday's News and other paper-based pellet litters for my rabbit's box. It is one of the brands recommended by The House Rabbit Society: http://rabbit.org/faq-litter-training-2/I hope this helps!

the cats do come out of the box with some on their feet, like any litter, but I not found litter all over the place. I keep a rug under and in front of the litter box and give it a good shake about once a week.

My 16 year old cat pees outside the box. I think she was trying to tell me something about she not liking it. I had been using her old cheap Costco litter first. Thinking that that was the problem I switched to Tidy Cat Multiple Cat something. I even purchased a new mat.I had to wash the mat yesterday and found she was peeing in front of her litter box regardless of the litter type. Since she can't tell me why she doesn't like it it seems I'm back to the store to find a regular style litter box. But oh, how I hate the back breaking scooping of the litter...

I have a covered litter box and a small carpet right outside the litter box. It helps keep the tracking down.

I originally used the suggested litter... worked great BUT the urine smell became horrible. It would just sit on the bottom and build up... currently I use the clumping litter and the problem now is that the hole is not big enough to allow the pee clump to pass through...

I have two cats and replace the pellets when I feel they are "getting old". Sometimes I replace them more than once a month and sometimes not. I do tend to add pellets when they are getting low. I don't notice that they smell or retain odor but as I said, sometimes they seem to need changing.

We have two litter boxes. One is covered, one (the Lucky Champ) is not. My cats don't seem to care one way or the other. They use both equally. A covered box is helpful in more public areas of the house.

I have 2 cats using the litter robot. Compared to the traditional litter boxes I've had there is less litter on the floor. I keep a mat under the whole unit & vacuum maybe once a week. But there is no litter anywhere else in the house.

I haven't. If it is any help, I use a litter box lined with a garbage bag, and then filled with the litter. I guess it is because my cat urinates so much at a time, but it soaks all the way through the fairly thick litter, and while clumped together, the clumps stick to the plastic at the bottom of the litter box.

When a cat eats any litter it can be a problem so it's something you need to pay attention to. If they eat these pellets, try something else or don't use any (2 of my boxes that are dog accessible have no pellets, but the cats still use them). No need to stop using the Breeze boxes with their pads though. Just experiment with different litters.

No, it doesn't perform very well and is messy. We had odor and it was worse than clumping litter in our experience. This stuff skites all over the hard floor, hurts if you walk on it and generally we found doesn't work nearly as well as promoted. We used it temporarily (3 bags) for 2 new kittens since they were not accustomed to the Breeze system that we prefer hands down. We had a Booda Dome Box in a spare bathtub while they were confined to the bathroom and becoming accustomed to the household and the other cats were getting used to the newcomers. The litter was all over the tub and all over the bathroom floor just from the kittens normal activities. Also, one kitten has been losing hair in wads and we think he is allergic to the litter as everything else has been ruled out. So, this stuff like most things is not harmless and typically doesn't live up to the hype for the money. We have transitioned the kittens to the Breeze (zeolite) pellets and he is improving without changing anything else. We have 5 cats using the Breeze boxes and find that they are no more expensive than clumping in the long run, don't smell (even with an old cat urinating copiously due to chronic kidney disease), you can get more use out of the pellets than they let on (lots of ways to extend their life) and we pair each box with a Litter Genie (also ways to save there on Google). This is BY FAR the best system we have ever used 50 years of cats.
