I believe that cleaning out cat boxes is a nasty chore. Your mileage may vary. Of course, that's only my opinion.

I'd insert an emoticon, but those are redundant. IMHO.

I completel agree.

We tried switching another brand because I could buy it in bulk at Sam's Club, but when the cats peed, it turned to sludge and clogged the automatic cleaner.

I'm going to try bribing my husband with good food or sex to get him to start cleaning the litter.

Count the bodies in the avatar, Toc, then slowly back away from the husband and head for the kitchen :mrgreen:

Which brand is that? I get the sludge problems at time and it makes me crazy. Lately I've been using various brands of Tidy Scoop, but I never take notes on which kinds do best and I forget.

The only one I really hate is Cat's Pride, and I wish I liked it because they always have coupons and xx% free packages.

For a guy, at least?

Okay, point taken. No more bribing with sex. Just food from now on.

It was Fresh Step that turned to sludge.

I am going to justkeep using Tidy Cat in the yellow container.

That was it! Thank you. I got some Fresh Step on the half price shelf at the supermarket (I think because they're changing their packaging) and was all thrilled with my deal since that is a "premium" type instead of Mecca Special Kitty or the store kind I usually get.

You are right, it was a major sludge maker. Tidy Scoop/Cat has changed all of their packaging and type names now, so it's all confusing. I have been using the clear jugs with the blue crystals in it for multiple cat households. I think it's called "Tidy-lock Technology" or something. But I'm always torn between "immediate odor control" and "long lasting odor control".

Psst. Esto. The nieces are wearing plaid. They are the girls in the dresses with red plaid skirts and white collars/tops. Really. I wouldn't lie to you. Neither would Tocque.

Maybe "plaid" means something different in guy talk than girl talk.

We use the Fresh Step clumping version. Never a problem, other than the occasional over-enthusiastic coverup that tosses a turd to the floor. We try to dissuade the boys from using "out of the box" thinking (stinking?), but it doesn't always work.
