As a cat owner of over 20 years, I’ve tried several litters. I’ve always gone back to clumping litter. I know it can be messy and dusty but it’s what works best for my cats.

Let’s face it if you’re a cat owner and you use traditional clay clumping litter it can be a challenge to settle on one your cat likes.

Let’s face it no one ever said having a pet would be low-cost. That being said I found that buying a Litter Genie would be more cost-effective than having to use a ton of small bags every time I cleaned out the litter box.
