The Worst Product EVER!!

I don't normally do this (or ever do this), but I am so dissatisfied and even horrified by this product that I have to share it with you. I found it at PetSmart a few weeks ago and it was the same price as my normal cat litter, so I decided to try it. Everything on the website seems to indicate this cat litter is good for the environment as well as my cat...and worked as well as any other cat litter. That, plus the fact that it wasn't any more expensive than my regular cat litter made it seem like a great idea. Well, it wasn't.

First, the litter doesn't clump, it just stays in a big wet pile stuck to the bottom of the litter box. (The package says you have to keep the litter at least 3 inches deep in order to prevent this. I had it close to 4 inches deep and still didn't get clumps). Needless to say, that was a pain, and very disgusting, to clean up. Secondly, while it does control odor pretty well after your cat uses the bathroom, cleaning is a different story. The combination of this litter with my cat's urine created a literally toxic smell as I was cleaning. You know how your nose and throat will burn when you are around a lot of bleach for too long? Well, this smell was worse. Seriously. It took me close to an hour to clean Gizmo's litter box because I kept having to walk away coughing from the smell.

I ended up having to scrape and clean the litter box completely just to get everything out of the box. I scrubbed the litter box like I would scrub my tub...which I also had to do after cleaning the litter box because my bathtub was the only place I could really clean the litter box. It was a mess and made me very angry.

So, if you are ever looking for an alternative to your regular cat litter...especially an environmentally friendly one...DO NOT choose Swheat Scoop. The crazy thing is, most of the reviews I find on line about Swheat Scoop are very positive. I'm not sure what they are doing that I'm not...but I would never recommend this product to anyone.
