KITTY LITTER DUST
"Dennis" wrote in message ... Just became a cat owner a few months ago and thought I had done all my homework on the pros and cons of owning a cat, but there's always something you miss. In my case, it's the dust from the kitty litter that has settled over everything in my home. Is there anything that can be done to eliminate this most annoying problem. And before you even think of it, I ALREADY OWN A FEATHER DUSTER AND VACUUM CLEANER Dennis This one: http://www.naturesearth.com/ (I use the pelletized one) Not only do you have no more clay dust, but the pine wood compressed flake pellets break down into a coarse enough 'saw dust' in the pan over several days, that doesn't get tracked even a fraction as much as clay, and never breaks down to fine airborne dust, and also provides a natural deodorizer of urine--this makes for far less changing of the litter (other than scooping turds). Two cats peeing in a good-sized pan with a bit over an inch of this poured initially will need over a week of usage before odor of urine becomes apparent. Also, as the volume is much greater by weight, the ~$10 per 20 pound bag works out not so costly as one might think. Roughly, it's equivalent to over well 3 times the usage per pound as the clay, perhaps more. By my estimate, I get six fills, more than six weeks, from the 20 pound bag. I've been using it for many years now--it's really the best. -maxwell |

KITTY LITTER DUST!
Hello Kyla, fancy seeing you here. was wondering over he cat groups.
"Kyla =^..^=" wrote in message . .. "Matthew" ... "DanS" , Matthew "DanS" In article Kyla% wrote: Kitty Litter dust can be harmful to humans as well.. we have 4 cats and now use one that is 99% dust free... I've used litters that are supposedly 99% dust free and still feel like I'm in Pigpen's dust cloud when I fill the litter box. Can anyone recommend a brand of scoopable that really is low on dust?? Dan In another group Phil had an idea take the litter outside and shift it back and forth betweeen containers till the dust is out I'd thought about doing something like that, or stirring it around in the litterbox while waving the vacuum cleaner hose over it to suck up the dust. You could also add a hepa filter machine by it will collect the dust and smells Hmmmmmmm, I have one of those, but I also wear a face mask and spray a Lysol air germ killer before I enter the catbox room...that helps too.

KITTY LITTER DUST
"Dennis" wrote in message ... Thanks blkcatgal, I'll look that brand up on the web "blkcatgal" wrote in message ... I recently started using the World's Best Cat Litter. It's made from corn (I think) and has less dust than some of the other types of litters. And it clumps pretty good too.
