So pleased to find this product available with Amazon Prime! Fresh Step crystals have been an absolute favorite since it was introduced. I remember my mother helping me with my first cat's (Siamese) sand box! Over the years since 1955, I have tried just about every litter system/boxes available. The fabulous felines who have shared my life (I'll be 72 December 27) included rescues, just arrivals and pure breeds. Persians with their long silky fur to those beloved domestic short/long hair have chosen Fresh Step when offered a choice. Doesn't irritate pads or stick to paws, furry tails or bottoms. I find the scent very agreeable (fresh and clean) . . . much better than toilet bowl cleaners! One little lady has long fur with a fluffy tail and she is meticulous in her grooming ritual (especially after being brushed). Now add a big gal that's a domestic short hair calico so I need litter that they will share. They have a triangular low side (lower step in area) litter box (available on Amazon). The calico enjoys seeing just how much litter she can scatter and the other is more concerned about her elegant puffy tail.
One bag of litter will last 3 weeks (change it once a week, need it or not) -- I use a third of the bag at a time (just right for that inch and a half depth) for their size box. Since I have an extra bathroom their box is in the shower. Guests may need to use the bathroom but no one has recognized that the decorative shower curtain allows for feline privacy! For best results, remember to scoop and stir every day . . . your feline/felines will thank you!
Multiple cats? How much time/effort for cat care? Eight cats and two large hooded litter boxes . . . too many cats per litter box (or just too many cats)? Half of a bag for each box and changed once a week wasn't unreasonable. Three males (neutered) and five females (spayed) had no complaints. Interesting behavior: the males choose one box and the females choose the other one. The boxes were scooped and stirred twice a day. Their boxes were kept in a large bathroom for easy access. Keep in mind that diet and water intake need to be considered. I prefer Science Diet or Iams. Drinkwell water fountains offer easy access to water. It may take a bit more time to keep all this clean but it keeps cats healthy and contented. Over the years I've come to realize that my felines' personalities were as different as those of my friends.
