Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Let me tell you, this GDPR thingy has the whole innernets all messed up. I’s mean, we of all kitties and peeps are happy to have our purrivacy and purrsonal infurmation purrtected; but Kittens!!! Sometimes things can go a little too far. ‘Course, you all know we’re purrobably the least tech savvy kitties ‘round, so we don’t unnerstand why so many things have been affected. Like, most of the blogger blogs we follow have their comment settings changed so that ya’ gotta use google to meow anythin’ to ‘em. Google is not our furiend. But, we did try it and within minutes we were swamped with spam, and I’s don’t mean the kind in the can that the coons like.

C’mon furiends help us meow at ya’ and comment again.

          Yep Raena, me thought mommy was gonna lose it when she saw all that spam. Some of ‘em are really disgustin’ and nasty.

They sure made me blush sissy. Anyways, there is a way our blogger furiends can help us to keep visitin’ and commentin’ on their bloggies. All ya’ gotta do is change your comment settings to allow us to use our Name and URL. Yep, that’d do it. We’d be able to comment on your posty’s again and not be bombarded with all this disgustin’ spam. Now, we got that outta the way, so let’s move on to somethin’ else. We’re gonna be meowin’ ‘bout pawtty boxes and their contents today.

          Purrlease Raena, we’re gonna be meowin’ ‘bout litter. Quit tryin’ to sound fancy.

Fine sissy, we’re meowin’ ‘bout litter. As most of ya’ know, we were blest with a Litter Robot Open Air Automatic litterbox last year. We luvs it fur a lot of reasons, and one of those is that you can use just ‘bout any kind of litter you want in it. ‘Course, the Litter Robot peeps recommend clay, but say any clumpin’ litter will work. That was pawsum since we really like the natural litters. But, we had noticed that we have a slight purroblem with stickage. Ya’ know, some of the clump sticks to the rubberized bottom which means it’s not completely clean each time. Mommy always comes behind us and unsticks the stickage and runs another cleaning cycle. We’ve just assumed that was cuz we have to have it set on the quickest time cuz sis Dezi won’t use a dirty pawtty box, and the clump doesn’t have enuff time to set up. So, mommy changed the settings to see what would happen. That still didn’t completely fix it, so, when we had the oppurrtunity to try out a clay litter, mommy decided to see ifin that would help.

We received the Scoop Away Complete Clumping Cat Litter in exchange for our honest review. Neither Chewy or Scoop Away are responsible for the opinions expressed here unless otherwise stated. As always, we tell it like we see it and only bring products we use or have tried and feel would be of interest to you, our friends and readers.

          Yep Raena, we received the 42 pound bag of Scoop Away Complete Performance Scented Scoopable Cat Litter from Chewy this month to try out. It costs $15.99. We can fur sure say that’s cheaper than what we normally pay fur litter, but we don’t know ifin that’s a good purrice fur clay. We can say that’s ‘bout .38¢ a pound and sounds purretty good to us. Anyways, this purrticular litter is scented. Mommy hates scented litters cuz of course, kitties hate scented litters. But, we decided to give it a try anyways. It happened to arrive the day mommy had gone to her monthly doctors ‘pointment. Our Fedex purrson is an idiot and put the box right in front of the door on the ground. After ‘bout 30 minutes and the help of our new neighbor, mommy was furinally able to get the box moved and get to the door so she could get inside. It took both ladies to shove the 42 pound bag inside the door where it then stayed fur a couple of weeks. There is no handle on the bag fur pickin’ it up, and 42 pounds is really heavy.

It sure is sissy. Befur we get to the tryin’ it, let’s see what Chewy has to say ‘bout it.

So, the claim is that it has maximum clumpin’ ability, tracks less and contains special minerals that trap and eliminate odors on contact. It even guarantees 10 days of odor control. We’ll see. We’re purretty sure those minerals are the purretty purrple and green pieces ya’ see throughout. Ya’ll know how much we luv purrple, right? MOL

          Yep Raena, we also saw ‘em on your bloomers. Girl, you gotta learn how to squat without your “wee” actually touchin’ the litter. Cuz me thought mommy was gonna break her neck tryin’ to get to you befur you started cleanin’ the purretty specks off your bloomers. Unlike the natural litter we normally use that breaks up when it gets rewetted, clay just clumps harder. It’s like all mommy could see was this huge clump o’ clay in your tummy.

Sissy, are you tryin’ to embarrass me? Least I’s use the pawtty box every time and make mommy happy. I’s not used to the litter stickin’ to mine’s furs. Ya’ know, that stuffs s’posed to stay in the box.

          You’re right Raena, it is. Fankfully, the floral purrfume smell isn’t overwhelming. We still purrfur unscented, but this one won’t kill us. MOL In other words, the smell isn’t so overpowerin’ that the whole bathroom smells like it. Since mommy can’t actually lift the bag to pour it, we can’t really meow whether it’s dusty or not. The openin’ in the top of the bag comes with a zipper seal to keep any unused litter fresh. The openin’ is really small, so it made it hard on mommy to ‘dip’ out litter to put in our boxes. As fur trackin’, we find it tracks ‘bout as much as most other litters and it also gets stuck to the furs. Ifin you’re a short haired kitty this won’t be as big of a purroblem as it is fur us longer haired kitties. That stuff’ll stick to anythin’ that’s wet. This of course is very disturbin’ to mommy who doesn’t want our tummies full of clay.

Yep sissy, it is sticky. I’s tried to spit that piece I’s cleaned off mine’s bloomers out over and over again, but it just wouldn’t leave mine’s tongue. That meant I’s had to get an extra dose of malty (hairball paste). Cuz we mixed the Scoop Away with our normal litter, mommy put some in a bowl to test out the clumpin’ factor. Mommy says it clumps purretty well. She also says she ‘members now just what that house I’s came from smelled like. The amonia smell eminatin’ from the Litter Robot waste drawer is pawfully overpowerin’. So, we don’t think the Scoop Away Complete does much fur long term odor control. 10 days? No Way, we say.

The waste drawer generally gets full and changed after ‘bout 5 to 7 days, dependin’ on how many times it’s used. We still have a second pawtty box that gets used and mommy has to scoop into our Litter Genie. Normally we don’t smell anythin’ comin’ from the waste drawer or the Litter Genie till mommy actually opens them to empty and clean. But, since we added the Scoop Away Complete clay to the pawtty boxes, the amonia smell takes hold after ‘bout 2 hours in the drawer. The Litter Genie tends to hold the smell till you open the lid to dispose of another clump. In the pawtty box itself, it will be overpowerin’ immediately ifin the clump gets broken. As fur whether or not it helped our stickage purroblem in the Litter Robot, the answer is sort of. There is far less stickage with the addition of the clay litter. However, the smell is somethin’ we can’t abide. Mommy would rather come behind me and recycle and dump the rest of the clump than put up with the amonia smell. I’s meow fanky fank ya’ mommy, cuz ifin you think it’s strong in the rest of the room, ya’ oughtta smell it inside the Litter Robot itself. Hmmmpht 

There’s a very small opening for pouring or scooping

out of bag to add to litter box. Has a resealable zipper.

          Yeah Raena, we really have been spoiled when it comes to the cleanliness and smell of our pawtty boxes. All in all, ifin ya’ like clay litters, this is one to try. You’ll need to have someone on hand who can lift 42 pounds, but we think it’s a good value fur the purrice. So long as you scoop regularly into a covered trash can, their shouldn’t be too much purroblem with stink, but hold your breath/nose befur ya’ lift the lid to depawsit new clumps. MOL Watch doggies and children and long furred kitties and clean any stray litter off of them immediately. We’re still advocates fur unscented litter, but ifin ya’ just think you need a scent, this one isn’t overpowerin’ and shouldn’t be too much fur kitty.
