Anybody ever tried that expensive cat litter that comes in large containers?

It’s way more expensive than the other cat litter in a bag. But I have never tried the expensive one. have any of you guys tried it and if so do you think it’s worth the extra expense?

1. No but I did switch to one the said it

would stay in the litter box instead of being tracked all over the place. It actually seems to work. It clumps well so it's easy to scoop.

2. I (actually the cats) use Dr. Elsey's litter.

It's a bit expensive but it clumps hard and keeps the odor down pretty well.

3. I use wood pellets so there is no garbage at all

I do scoop the poop and flush it. But when it is done, I toss it out on the back of the property (it breaks down to sawdust .

5. Yes! We do this as well. You can buy 40 lb. bags of pellets labelled as

"equine bedding" at Tractor Supply or other farm supply store. It's the same as Feline Pine and a 40 lb bag sells for about $7. If you have a septic tank, you might want to ix-nay flushing the solid waste. http://www.flohawks.com/blog/do-not-flush-cat-poop-down-your-toilet/

6. I was doing that

back in the early 2000s, last time I had a lovely feline in my household. It's the best deal, I was getting a 40# bag for $4. And a bag that big lasted about a month. My cat liked it better too. It can be a little smelly but if you take care to remove the solids soon after deposited, it's not a problem at all. I was getting pellet stove pellets at a wood stove place. Not sure if the stuff used for pellets for stoves is the same now, might check what's at the feed store.

Wood pellets are just sawdust tubed up in some kind of gelatin so it breaks down on contact with moisture and there's no clay dust causing all kinds of health issues all over the house.

I also used a chunk of fire log with the bark still on it for a scratching post, cats love that, and you just replace it when it's all ripped up. I sometimes brought in a large branch that I could wedge into some interesting spot in the cabin so climbing was an activity that was a lot like outside, since she was an outdoor cat originally... really, I found her in a barn.

4. I buy the crystal little in automated box

And I think that it’s worth it. It eliminates the dust around the box.
