    Default What's the best brand of cat liter?

    Throw me some brand names.

    Also, cats arent suppose to pee on wee wee pads. Right? That piss smell is God aweful strong!
    My room mate has five cats & the smell is killing me.

    I feed my cat royal canin, it's a little pricey, but not bad. For 5 catsit may be too muh though. It gives my kitty a super soft coat, and she has never had digestive problems.

    Wee wee pads are not normal for cats.. litterboxes ftw, they stink less. Or teach them to use the toilet

    I have bought the expensive litter pearls, and all the kinds of fancy crystal-only ones, but my cat won't use those. He will only use scented clay litter despite his asthma. Johnny Cat seems to be his favorite. Fresh Step (clumping) he also seems to like. But nothing else. Actually, I haven't tried pine yet (its all natural), but I may try it... not holding my breath though bc my cat only likes things heavily scented I guess.

    But I guess it just depends on what your cat likes personally.

    Tidy Cat for multiple cats, with the clumping litter.

    With 5 cats, you also need to have more than one litter box. It doesn't matter how good the litter is - if 5 cats are pissing in the same box, then there will be some smell build-up.

    If you have the Tidy Cat clumping litter and multiple boxes, then each box will need to be scooped daily but you should be able to get up to a week before each box has to be dumped and washed, though you may need to add a little litter over the week if you are scooping out a lot of clumps.

    Good luck!

    I used Tidy Cats Multiple Cats as well. I only had a single cat, but no one ever said that they could smell anything when they came over (and I have brutally honest friends).

    I use Small Spaces by Tidy Cats- it's clumping, and neutralizes the odor a lot faster than other litters I've tried. I have 2 cats in a really small studio apartment, so, yah.

    This one! Precious Cat Ultra Premium Clumping Cat Litter

    Here's is the Amazon link so you can read the reviews but you can get it at pretty much any pet store:
    http://www.amazon.com/Precious-Cat-P.../dp/B0009X29WK

    It's a really good value (40 lbs for under $20) and there is no dust, clumps well, and doesn't smell!

    I too have been on a quest to find the best cat litter and this is the best so far and I will be sticking with it for a while

    You can also get it for FREE right now because they are having a mail-in rebate offer (you must purchase before 2013 so only a few days left!)

    You may want to get some enzyme cleaner/disinfectant. It literally eats the waste from their little booboos. The problem with that many cats is, if one of them is turned off by the <ahem> crowded litter box, they will just go commando right on the carpet or in a corner on our tile or wood floor. Cats hate to go in a funky, dirty litter. So you may be smelling more than just their litter box. Truthfully, you should never smell the box. It should be cleaned multiple times a day and there should be 2-3 pans for that many cats.

    Tidy Cat is crunchier, but Pecious Cat has more flavor. Both are better than Grape Nuts.

    I personally use Swheat Scoop for my cat. I only have a single cat, so not sure if it makes a difference, but she likes it and it works great. The main reason I chose it was that it is 100% flushable since it is made from leftover parts of wheat and once you put it in the toilet, the clumps separate out for easy flushing. Been using it for over a year and it is great.
