Not Enough Litter for the "Study"

They sent me a bag of litter to have Persia try. I didn't over fill the
box (I never do), just started out with an empty, clean box and added as
much as usual. Then scoop and re-add a little as usual. The study
started on November 8. Today is the 12th. The bag was supposed to last
until the 16th. Fail!

I don't get to tell them about it until they send me a follow-up link
sometime between the 16th and the 18th.

Meanwhile, Persia and I are enjoying some lovely weather here in the
south. I haven't seen any bluebirds for a day or so (they've moved on)
but there are plenty of squirrels for her to chatter at

I wondered about that when you said they sent one bag. That hardly seems
enough for a "study."

The litter I usually buy from them comes in a 10 lb. bag. That lasts
for a couple of weeks. This bag was tall and slender but probably only
contained 5 lbs. of litter.

See, I have no way of knowing exactly what they're testing. It's a
blind study so I don't know what questions they're going to ask when
they send me the link to the survey.

Are they trying to make a litter that requires less scooping? Less
refilling with a little every day? Less scented? More clumping? (It
*does* clump very well.) I have no idea. I just know it only lasted
for four days. And that was right *after* completely emptying, washing,
drying new liner and put litter in the box.

I do not over fill a box. Some of the commercials for kitty litter I
see show a box filled with about 4-5 inches of cat litter. I think
Persia makes enough of a mess scratching in the box without it being
filled to the brim!
