Thanks! only if it says you can and generally, only if you have sewer and not septic.

Just try scraping this stuff wet off the bottom of a cat litter can be a
chore if you have a cat like mine who digs to China. I would never flush it I'd be afraid of it blocking up the pipes. I simply scoop twice a day and tie the waste in a plastic baggie and toss in the trash instead. Celeste wrote in message oups.com... I'm new to caring for cats.

wrote: Ozzie's litter box lives in the bathtub, which means we often end up washing scattered kitty litter down the drain before a shower. Yuck. That's *really* gross. Anyway, get Arm&Hammer flushable litter. So sorry to have "grossed you out." But we live in a 1 Bedroom apartment in Manhattan, and the bathtub just happens to be the best (only, really...) place to keep the litter box. The tub is always well scrubbed before a shower, but there is always a bit of scattered litter that gets washed down the drain. I'll look into the A&H flushable litter, if it is locally available, which might have less of an impact on our shower drain. Does it clump as well as multi-cat formulas (I think we use Tidy Cat Multicat), and how well does it keep odor down? Living in such a tiny place, odor control is pretty important, and the Tidy Cat does a pretty good job for us. Cheers, Adilah |

Well, I've been kinda of doing a bit of both. I find I can get away
with flushing the solid waste with no problems. The other clumps are larger and I bag those. So far, so good! |
