I've never used paper pellets litter before. what happens to the pellets cats peed on? Does it clump like other clump type litter?

Guess my cats are pretty healthy, there is no mistaking a poop from a pellet.

no they do not. They just get wet. I only put enough pellets to cover the bottom pan. I use this product for a rabbit. so i can't scoop it out. But the wet pellets only get wet. and i believe any solid {except for rabbits}can be scoped.

It does not clump. I have one cat. I scoop and flush solids immediately; I don't fill the box as full and I change it weekly. This litter is not as dusty nor does it track like other litters. I hope this helps.

You must be the only one with that problem. I clearly can see the difference.

I just scoop the poop out through the week and dump the whole thing at the end of the week.

Here's my take... World's Best clumps better... I used the Cat Attract because I have a cat who will not pee in the box. She was treated for a kidney stone and it has since dissolved and passed... BUT the behavior hasn't changed. Cat Attract must have worked because I switched back to the World's best and she is peeing outside of the box again. I was hoping it clumped well, but it does not. I have a litter maid, and it constantly breaks up and/or gets stuck in the rake. Unfortunately, at this point, it's my only option for my sanity. I wish it clumped better.

I don't know the answer to that, but crystal litter does not clump. There're two kinds of crystal litter - one with smaller crystals one with larger. I would try the smaller crystals with a scoop-free automatic litter box. I've tried several types of litter and prefer the larger crystals. Crystal litter is more expensive but you have to change the litter less often which may make the crystal litter less expensive in the long run.

I use this litter for my rabbits. When I have gone away I don't make whoever is watching them for a weekend clean them. Sometimes the litter is really wet,but I have never had trouble with them tracking it. It is paper pellets like the size for a wood pellet stove. The only mess I get is when they decide to empty the pan so they can roam free while their bedroom gets a good cleaning

We used Arm & Hammer, which was okay, and then Cat Attract for two years after some litter use problems caused by recurrent UTI's, and now we've switched it over to Tidy Cat (Cat Attract being rather more expensive). We've had no problems with those three litters. The rake mechanism can get burnt out on clumps, but that really comes with any litter. Id say overall it worked fine with ours as long as i maintained cleaning put the waste compartment. Hope that helps. Test it put for a week or so and see how its working with yours, as every system can have its own issues.

Sorry to hear about your cat, Paige! I had the opposite problem - my dog was eating out of the cat box when I had regular cat litter but fortunately wasn't interested in the clay pellets of Breeze. I'm having to change back from Breeze because my cat is 19 and big boned, and can no longer squat to fit the box, so she's just missing the front or back side. Now I'm on the hunt for a bigger box and litter my dog won't eat or won't hurt her, at least. Thanks for sharing your story!

I use the pellets for my rabbit. They do not crumble or expand. I don't sift the pellets because a rabbit is different than a cat. The pellets do absorb the water because they are paper. No smell. Yes rabbits can be litter train. Good luck.

My experience has been completely different. I use the pellets on other smells because works so well. When our cats both elected to use a houseplant instead of the litter box I put a layer of pellets in the pot. The smell was gone. (side benefit was the cats both switched back to the litter box) I even put a layer of the pellets in the litter at the bottom of our cage for our three rats and it cut the urine smell considerably. A friend even asked if we had gotten rid of the rats because she didn't smell them any more. There's also a spray called Nature's Miracle. We use it for all the animals and it's great. For the poop smell we keep a covered trash can next to the box. Hope it helps. My experience has been completely different. I use the pellets on other smells because works so well.

I read that wood pellets (large animal bedding) is essentially the same as pine pellets for small animals, although the pine may be of higher quality and finer grade. I would have tried it for my six cats, but it is not available in my urban market. I would also consider mixing the two as needed to minimize cost. Let us know!

We use this litter. We don't flush it, and wouldn't recommend as it is clumping and would probably jam up your pipes.

I use the Nature's Miracle Crystal litter. I get a little over 3 weeks for one cat then throw the whole thing out. I tried using the Swheatscoop clumping that I had used with plastic litter box but it seemed to get the box wet and was hard to scoop out due to the uneven texture of the cardboard. The crystal litter absorbs the urine and changes color so you only have to scoop the poop. It is probably more expensive but I'm in a wheel chair and it's been a lot easier for me. Hope this helps.

Yes, I use it and it works great. I can also use less of the yesterday's news litter so I am saving money there too. The YN litter with the Breeze Tidy cat system is the perfect combination. Don't use the pellets that came with the Breeze litter system, the cats don't like them and they don't work good. The YN works great and cats love it with the Breeze system. I used both and it's wonderful.

Hey Letims, I have three of the Smart Cat Boxes and love them. The litter has to be undissolvable as the pee flows down through the safflower seeds into a tank. The pine pellets, and I use pine pellets with my foster cats, would break up and not let the pee flow down defeating the purpose of the design. The bottom of the top tray has rows of narrow slits that would get clogged. The second tray just has one hole that empties into the tank. FYI, I get the safflowers seeds at a local pet supply store that sells big bags for people who feed wild birds! It's cheap and works beautifully. Only drawback is if someone has very soft poop or diarrhea making it hard to scoop out it all out. Hope this helps! Hey Letims, I have three of the Smart Cat Boxes and love them.

Don' leave these pellets in the litter box. Use the pooper scooper to remove the affected pellets. If many of pellets are removed replace them with a few from an open beg of pellets reserved for this purpose. If the litter box has a bad smell the cat may stop using it. KLK

If you don't use clumping litter, some of the pee gets absorbed into the crystals and the rest kinda sticks to the bottom of the litter box, which can get quite stinky...my sister-in-law uses clumping litter and I'm thinking of switching since her auto box works just fine with the clumping kind...

From the reviews I read, the multiple cat formula clumps better. The multiple cat is the only one I've used. I used it with 3 cats at first but lost my two senior kitties within the past year. Since I don't want to mess up what's not broken, I have continued with the same litter for the one kitty I have now. It's usually about $2 difference in price.

I suppose you could try, but I'm not sure how well it would work. It's not like traditional cat litter, it looks like small cylindrical pellets. They are very absorbent though and work well for my rabbits. Petco carries this brand in my area, you might want to see it for yourself before ordering it from Amazon. However, if you like it, Amazon does have the best price I've seen for it.
