| Nancy,
Do you know whether this product is also available in Eurpoe,
specifically in Switzerland ? Thanks.

2793.2 | i'm using it but . . . | OCTOP1::PLOETZ | Paula Ploetz | Wed Aug 23 1989 10:11 | 34 |

I am using it (for about a month now) and I love it! No smell,
no mess! But, I have some concerns about the cat's health, and
have been meaning to put them in here. Thanks for posting the note.
The litter is very dusty and Dickens sneezes a lot as I pour it
in the box. The dust settles down after a few minutes - at least
as far as I can tell. But, cat's are more sensitive to dust. Maybe
it's still too dusty for the cat and could be harming his
respiratory system?
If ammonia is gaseous, then doesn't it remain in the box, even
after the balls are scooped out?
Has anyone discussed this litter with a vet? What was the outcome?
I guess I don't trust it completely because it's almost too good
to be true.
I think it's less expensive in the long run than the other litters
and it's definitely nicer to have around for odor and maintenance
reasons.
There is another note posted in this conference about this litter.
I'm not sure of the number, but you might want to take a look at
it.

| There is another note discussing Everclean, but just for the record,
my cats used it too and loved it. It is very, very dusty and I
practically choked each time I cleaned out the litter box. I figured
if it was affecting me that way, what is it doing to the cats? and
stopped using it. I also found it very messy and despite towels
and mats outside of the litterbox, the guys still managed to track
it everywhere... felt like we were at the beach! I'm a vaccuum
fiend to begin with but with Everclean, the vac was being dragged
out of the closet every single day!
My indoor/outdoor cats especially liked it and found them using
it quite often, despite the fact that they prefer to do their business
outside.

| I responded previously about the new litter and thought it was
wonderful, but stopped because after a while there was a very strong
ammonia odor even though I cleaned it everyday and I felt as though
I was throwing an awful lot of it away with each scoop full of urine
so we are back to the old-fashioned method.

| The other comment that has been made about Ever Clean is that it
doesn't work for multi-cat households, like mine, because the
cats trample and crush the balls before you can remove them
from the litterbox.

| This looks like a good spot for this. I saw an ad in Cat Fancy this
month for a new "everclean type" litter called "Forever Fresh litter
crystals". The ad says "They [the competition] would like you to
believe that premium "clumping" litter that is flushable down your
toilet has to sell for $7.99 to $9.99. THAT'S NOT A FACT! Forever
Fresh sells for much less and with a moneyback guarantee." They
also included a phone number (1-800-969-9697) which you could call
for more info.
Since the only reason I gave up the everclean was price I'm going to
check this out.
Thought other folks might be interested as well.
