YESTERDAY'S NEWS PRODUCTS 702303 Yesterday's News Cat Litter, 15-Pound

This litter has solved my problem with my very old 18 yr old, who is losing his ability to clean himself properly. I take him to the groomer a few times a year for a thorough cleaning, but he was having an on-going problem with getting "cement" litter between his toes, that I had to help him pull out, and painfully pull out his hair at the same time. The clumping litter was also getting stuck to the bottom of his pads that had to be soaked off with warm water -- wow, a lot of trouble. Now, problem's solved with Yesterday's News (which comes in round pellets and long pellets -- I use only the long pellets).I put about 3 inches of regular clumping litter in the litter box, and then throw a few handfuls of the YN pellets on top of the clumping litter -- enough to completely cover it. This makes his stuff very easy to scoop away and easy to see when cleaning -- and after I scoop, then I throw another handful of YN back on top. Every now and then, I push the YN to the side and add more clumping litter, and then push back the YN and throw on enough to re-cover. Just a little trouble to go to, but the positive side is that kitty's paws are always clean and healthy, the floor is always clean because none of the clumping litter comes out now (he just walks into the litter box and walks out, staying "afloat" above the clumping sticky litter -- tracking nothing), the box is very easy to clean, I don't have to worry about kitty ingesting any clumping litter into his intestines, and I'm very happy now.

I really prefer the 15 pound bags even if that isn't as cost effective as 30 lb bags. I am petite and the 30 lb bag is too heavy. You should note that once kitty gets the litter wet, you need to scoop out that portion from the litter box. The litter seems to crumble after the cat pees on it. Not so with poop. So the litter is great but please scoop regularly to keep kitty clean. P.S. I have used natural products (World's Best, etc.) and I had problems with those litters because occasionally a bug would be in the litter and my cat noticed that immediately. We both watched in disbelief as the bugs crawled around. I was offered a new free bag of World's Best but I changed to Yesterdays News and now my kitty and I are very happy. NO BUGS or stinky scent. If you need to kill the smell from the litter box, change the litter or sprinkle some baking soda into the litter.

Yesterday's News (YN) is my absolute favorite cat litter for so many reasons:1) IT DOESN'T TRACK!!!2) barely any dust3) NO awful chemical smell (such as for example Purina Tidy Cats 24/7 Performance Cat Litter)4) it's recycled5) absorbs extremely wellTip for unwanted cat smells: YN doesn't really cover up any smells, but since my cat has an open litter box and I scoop every day, the points above are much more important to me. What I like to do is add some REGULAR baking soda (not the cat littler deodorant, because that one has an unbearable chemical smell - tho I must say I am a bit sensitive to smells in general). Currently, instead of baking soda, I add a layer of Feline Pine Original Cat Litter** underneath YN. Feline Pine (FP) can track a bit because it breaks down into smaller pieces as soon as it absorbs any liquid so I try to keep it as bottom layer, and it works so well in combination with YN. The natural pine scent is pleasant and helps to hide some of the yucky smells my fur-ball leaves in her box.** Feline Pine used to have a much better formula (the pellets used to absorb better, and not fall apart right away, making it last MUCH longer than what's currently in the FP bags. Loads of people have been upset and complaining about there obvious strategy.. so here are some alternatives that I personally haven't had the chance to try but others had positive feedback on the following: Petsmart's version called Exquisicat & the Petco brand.Hopes this helps ;)Cheers!

I've had cats all my life, sometimes as many as 7 at a time, and I have tried almost all litters. This one is the best. It is not heavy. It truly is unscented, unlike all the clay litters. It lasts as long as a week, with one cat; a half-week with more than one. It is easy to scoop out the turds, and it tends to keeps them from smelling if one is deposited when you are out. You can tell from the smell when you need to change it. The litter itself has a dry, newspapery smell. When you need to change it, it gets an ammonia smell. Unlike clay litter, it does not stick to the pets and does not dirty the floor outside the box. And when you empty the box, all you have to do is wipe it with a cleaning wipe.

This litter works well for my bunny. I put about 1/2" - 3/4" in the bottom of his litter pan, and then put some narrow strips of newspaper on top. The pellets look a lot like his food pellets, so I cover them with the newspaper so he doesn't get confused and try to eat them. (He's not the brightest of bunnies). I think it also keeps his little feet cleaner, until the pellets start expanding and soaking up faster. Then I put some hay on top of the newspaper and he goes to town. It's low dust and fragrance free, which is good for him. And I don't notice any smell from his litter box once he's used it. I also really like that it's made from post-consumer paper - makes me feel all environmental and good - and the 15 lb. should last me quite a while. I ordered the 30 lb. bag in August, and it lasted me until now, mid-February. 30 lb. is pretty unwieldy, though, so I went with the smaller bag this time so it would be easier to store.

good

猫とフェレットに使ってますが非常に使いやすいです。通常の猫用トイレ砂を使っていると猫を触った際にアレルギーなのかくしゃみが止まらなくなる症状があったのでこちらを購入しました。まず吸水性が抜群に良いです。最初に尿がかかってから吸水するまでやや時間がかかりますが少し経つとふやけた新聞紙？が全部吸ってくれてます。匂いは普通の新聞紙の匂いで消臭性はないですが人工的なラベンダーとかの匂いより自然な猫の糞尿の匂いがするのでそっちの方が苦痛に思いません。くせえなーウンコしたんだなーと思うだけです。うちの猫トイレもフェレットトイレも、砂の中に入って排尿するタイプでなくおまる状もしくは網状の足場から下に糞尿を落とすタイプのトイレなのですがそれと組み合わせでいい効果を発揮しています（砂の中に入ってくタイプだと吸収までに時間がかかるせいで動物の足に尿がついてしまい不快に感じた動物が砂をジャラジャラさせて汚してしまう可能性あります）細かくほぐれた新聞紙が原料なのでトイレに流せるのも嬉しいです。こちらにしてからアレルギーも出ず快適なトイレライフを送っています。

新聞紙を固く丸めたチップ状のトイレ砂。パッケージは猫ですが、当方はラット (※大きなネズミ) のトイレに敷き詰めています。消臭、吸水効果がすばらしく、これを使えば糞尿の匂いに悩まされることはまずありません。どこかのエキゾチックペットを扱う店ではフェレットのトイレ砂にも使用されていました。吸水するとぽろぽろと崩れ、細かいカスが出て、敷き詰めた容器に静電気でびっしりと粉がつくこともあります。ですので濡らしたティッシュなどで時々粉をしっかりとふき取ることをお勧めします。なお、個人的にとても気に入っているのはこの商品が送られてくるときの段ボール箱が比較的しっかりしているため、そのままこの商品の収納箱として改造、利用できることです。

フェレットと住んでいます。今までフェレット用、猫用使いましたか、どれも臭い、使用後の脚についた散らばりが気になっていました。この商品は全く気にならず、とても良いです。またリピします

猫に使用。おしっこをよく吸いますが、一回のおしっこでチップが砕けて？崩れて？きます。そして砕けてくると吸ったおしっこの臭いが盛れてきます。くさい！おからのように細かく崩れないので、スノコで全部ふるい落とすことも出来ません。チップが固まらないので、スコップで除去もできません。猫がおしっこするたびに崩れたチップを手で選別しても、数日で全体に崩れたチップが回ってしまうので全取り換えすることに。砂がくさいと布団におしっこされるので、砂の処理も布団の洗濯も大変で、コスパも悪い。猫は使用感自体は気に入ってたので、一週間でひと袋使えるようなお金持ちにはいいかもしれません。
