Worlds Best Litter - Part II

With over a week of testing, we have switched back to our trusty "Yesterday's News" litter.

While Meow the cat seemed to enjoy scratching around in his new litter, it just didn't work out in several areas.

  1. Meow pees like a girl. I don't know why, but he does. Maybe its something with fixed cats, but when he goes, he squats so close to the litter, that the urine-soaked litter got all stuck the fur on his back-end. If this weren't bad enough, it would then "clump" there making for an interesting cleanup process! This would happen almost every time to Meow, and although it is not a fault of the "Worlds Best Cat Litter", it wasn't suitable for our cat.
  2. Once Meow was done, his feet were covered with this beige powder. Although not toxic, I was able to track my cat to where he was by following the little beige footprints from the litter box, to wherever it was he was sleeping.
Yesterday's news does not have those issues with my cat, so while it does not absorb as well, and I can not flush it, Yesterday's News is actually a better litter in our situation.

I will give kudos to the Worlds Best brand in that it did everything it advertised. No odor, easy to scoop, clumped well (when not on my cat's rear!) dissolved when dumped in the toilet, and we were easily able to keep the same litter for a week because we were able to remove both #1 and #2. With Yesterday's News, you simply can not remove #1 as it does not clump.

So there you have it. For now, its Yesterday's News!
