My grandson say I need to write something, he say, write about this nature’s best cat litter. He know I got cats, lots of ’em. He say this important for some kinda see-oh, I dunno, that computer stuff. He say it help people find this, this thing I write. Whatever, I just want them darn cats to stop stinking up the place.
So, cat litter, huh? Well, I tell ya, I seen a lot of it in my days. Used to be, we just used ashes from the stove. Worked okay, I guess. But now, they got all these fancy litters. Some smell like flowers, some like… well, I don’t know what they smell like. Just weird, that’s what.
This nature’s best cat litter, though, that’s what they all tryin’ to be, ain’t it? They want somethin’ that don’t stink, somethin’ that the cats like, somethin’ that don’t cost an arm and a leg. I seen some that cost more than a sack of chicken feed! Crazy, I tell ya.
I heard some folks talkin’ ’bout this Boxiecat stuff, say it’s good. They say it clumps up real good, like little rocks. Makes it easy to scoop out the, you know, the mess. And they say it don’t smell bad. Now that’s somethin’ I can get behind. I’m tired of holdin’ my nose every time I go near that litter box.
- This Boxiecat, they say it’s the best.
- Clumps good, like little rocks.
- Don’t smell bad, they say.
Another one they talk about is that Dr. Somebody. Elseys, I think? They say it good, too. Some folks don’t care for the scented. They say the unscented cat litter is the way to go. Me, I like a little smell. Otherwise, how you gonna cover up that cat stink? I saw huge cat litter list. So many kinds, you can get lost in there.
Then there’s that Purina stuff. Now, I know Purina for dog food. My old hound dog, Blue, he loved that stuff. But cat litter? I guess they make everything these days. They say it’s good, too, this Purina unscented cat litter. I hear some folks got this, they say it was 90% off! 90%! Can you believe that? They practically givin’ it away!
My neighbor, she tried some litter made from wood. Said it was more natural, you know? Said it was good for the earth. I don’t know about all that. I just know it made a mess. Didn’t clump up right, and it smelled like, well, like wet wood. Not my cup of tea, that’s for sure. These days they make everything from clay, wood, plants. Who know what they will come up with next.
I seen some that’s made from clay. That’s more like it. Clay, that’s what the ground is made of, right? Seems natural to me. But even then, there’s different kinds. Some clay is dusty, gets all over everything. Some is heavy, like haulin’ rocks. Gotta find one that’s just right. I heard this America Litter is good.
My daughter, she buys the fancy stuff. Spends a fortune on it. Says it’s better for the cats. I don’t know. Cats been around forever, and they seem to do just fine with whatever you give ’em. Long as they got somethin’ to bury their business in, they’re happy. These companies just want your money, I think.
There are so many brands out there. America Litter, Arm Hammer, and so on. Each one claims it is the nature’s best cat litter.
Back in my day, we didn’t have all these choices. We just used what we had. Now, you got a whole aisle in the store just for cat litter. It’s too much, I tell ya. Makes my head spin. I just want somethin’ that works, somethin’ that don’t cost a fortune, and somethin’ that keeps my house from smellin’ like a barn.
So, this nature’s best cat litter, what is it? I guess it’s whatever works for you and your cats. Maybe it’s that Boxiecat, maybe it’s that Purina, maybe it’s somethin’ else. Just gotta try ’em out and see what you like. And don’t be fooled by the fancy names and the high prices. Sometimes, the simplest things are the best. Like ashes from the stove. Now, where’d I put that scoop…?
