Your Kitty Litter Troubles Are Over!

I've tried just about every brand of cat litter out there, but only two have stuck around our house, and I am rating them the best cat litter everrrr!

The first is Trader Joe's Premium Pine Cat Litter. The small $3.49 bag contains a 4 week supply (maybe a couple if you have more than one cat)! If you've never tried pine cat litter, it works in reverse. It starts out in pellets, and as the pellets absorb moisture, they dissolve. You basically turn it over with your scooper every couple of days to bring the intact pellets at the bottom up to the surface, with no need to empty it until the entire thing is dissolved. The only thing you can dispose of as it happens is the poop. Funny enough, none of my three cats use this kitty litter for #2. They only use it for peeing! The cherry on top… emptying it sends a refreshing wave of pine aromatherapy up your nostrils!

The other cat litter I love is Swheat Scoop. This one costs more than your conventional cat litter but it's completely natural. The wheat clumps extremely well, absorbs odors, has no chemicals, is non-toxic, is biodegradable and is certified flushable! 



And of course, you cannot clean a kitty litter box quickly, efficiently and neatly without the proper kitty litter box! I considered an automated kitty litter box for a while. With three kitties, you pretty much have to clean the kitty litter everyday! The problem with automatic cat litters is they are extremely expensive and they also tend to be very small, and of course, they're not full-proof. They can break or get jammed. But I found the next best thing! The Omega Paw Roll'n Clean self-cleaning litter box. Is is AMAZING. It has a sifter inside, so you roll it to the right, the litter sifts into a separate compartment, you keep rolling until it's a little over a 90 degree angle from it's natural upright position, and the clumps all fall into the pullout tray. Oh my goodness. It's been a lifesaver! And at around $30, you can't beat the price!
