![]() ![]() I am thrilled to have found an easy, inexpensive, and fairly environmentally friendly solution to cat litter. Litter Genie is also great to have for disposing of the solid waste. If you try this system, always start with using your old litter on top of the pellets so the cats can get used to it. I should add that my cats are still kittens (9 months and 8 months) and were pretty tolerant as I tried several different litter ideas, but they have been champs and have not had a single accident. I hope Tidy Cat would have researched to make sure the product is safe if ingested. I've read that Zeolite is used in detox therapy for humans, so I'm thinking it's safe. They seem to be made of Zeolite and one of my cats occasionally eats one or two. I went ahead and mixed some of them in with the wood pellets since they came with the Breeze litter box and I had to do something with them. I don't know if the Breeze pellets help with odor control. They don't have the odor control of the Breeze liners, but I am not finding odor to be a big problem and just in case, I give a shake of baking soda into the boxes from time to time. I do use a liner in the bottom slide-out pan for urine, but you can buy cheap, disposable puppy "training pads" (I get mine from Walmart) and cut them down to size. The pellets break down into sawdust when wet (peed on) and as you remove solid material from the box, scooping around in the box encourages the sawdust to fall to the bottom slide-out pan. Check the package and make sure they are 100% wood/sawdust. Stock up when the weather is cold as it is harder to find them in the summer. You can buy the stove pellets at some Lowes or Home Depot stores for about $5.50 for a 40 lb. I also use pellet stove pellets with the Breeze system. The pellets do smell strongly of wood, which isn't a bad thing. You should remove the poop as soon as it is deposited, which is much cleaner any way. The pellets don't really cover up the smell much. ![]() Skoon Pooper Skooper Non-clumping Litter Solid Remover with Wide Openings, Scoop cat Solids Easily for a Clean Litter Box Without Wasting Any Pebbles 68 595 (5.

You only smell the urine when you dump out the sawdust (completely compostable!) and the tray is slightly damp with urine from the sawdust. I remove the sawdust when it is hard to sift the sawdust, which means the sawdust in the under tray is piling up too high. even if you only remove the sawdust every three days. Use a thin layer of pellets only, less than an inch, so it is easy to use a scoop to move the litter around and the sawdust falls through the holes. I like to sift the sawdust through at least once a day, but you can get lazy and do it every few days, but much harder to sift out a large amount of sawdust. ![]()
