Hello there! This is Cat, Lauren’s first and most important fur baby. Being the alpha that I am, I gave my mom the day off and told her I’d take care of content for the day. I know, I know. I’m super nice and thoughtful. MEOW, tell me about it. I figured I’d take the time to share more about cat litter and what your kitty really thinks about it. My sister, Elliot, and I are pretty much experts on the topic, so enjoy! (HINT: we love Cat’s Pride® Total Odor Control Unscented. Buy it now!) Maybe next takeover, we can share how to convince other people to pick up your poop for you. Hah!

4 TIPS FOR A BETTER LITTER BOX

1. Unscented litter is best. This is super important, so listen up. I have a really good sniffer and can smell verrrrry well. Scented and “fragrance-free” have extra ingredients that I don’t actually need AND they mess with my nose. What is my preferred litter? I’m glad you asked! Cat’s Pride® Total Odor Control Unscented is my go-to! It is a powerful dual-clay litter that not only clumps really well but delivers 10-day odor control! It instantly locks in urine, feces, and ammonia odors, keeping your room smelling fresh and clean! It is 99% dust free and 25% lighter in weight than traditional clumping litters. I mean, what can’t it do?! It keeps me purrrrfectly happy.

2. Open litter boxes > hooded litter boxes. Closed off litter boxes might be tempting, as you would think that they keep the smell in; however, they essentially hot box all the scents inside—making them worse than they otherwise would be. I don’t want that, and you don’t want that. PLUS, if it is open, it’s easier for you to scoop and easier for me to go. Done deal!

3. Empty my litter box daily. Please and thank you! I know that Cat’s Pride® Total Odor Control Unscented has up to a 10-day odor control built in but please, for the love of catnip, I like it clean.

4. Clean my actual litter box weekly. Don’t forget about this!! You clean your own toilet, don’t you? Can I have the same courtesy? If you don’t want to scrub it down, try Cat’s Pride® KatKit! The trays are disposable, so you can just give me a new one instead of breaking your back by cleaning (trust me, I’d rather have you spend time brushing and petting me) AND they are made from 100% recycled plastic and are recyclable, which creates minimum waste. Heaven forbid you decide to take me on a road trip (Elliot and I made the drive from Dallas, TX to Los Angeles, CA and it was insane), the trays are portable and great for on-the-go usage!

Bonus tip: Because I’m feeling generous… have at least 1 litter box per cat please. We may use both, but it lets us have our space at the very least.

There you have it! Before you go though, I just wanted to mention why Elliot and I prefer Cat’s Pride® litter. It may seem like a regular litter from the outside, but all litters are not created equal. Not only is it a great product but they have this amazing initiative called the Litter for Good™ Program. Cat’s Pride® has donated more than 8 million pounds of cat litter to shelters across the country, and continuing to donate more, thanks to this program! I’m not sure if you know this, but Elliot and I are both from the street. My family was rescued from the streets of College Station, and Elliot’s was rescued from a gas station in Dallas. Needless to say, this litter is near and dear to our hearts! For every GREEN JUG™ of Cat's Pride ® litter you buy, Cat’s Pride® donates a pound of litter to shelters in need. Talk about litter for good!! Now, get to making your cat’s life better as well as other felines in the world. I’m not crying, you’re crying!

P.S. I’ve heard my mom say she loves that there is pretty much no dust associated with filling or cleaning the litter box when we use Cat’s Pride® Total Odor Control. She also really likes the easy-to-pour green jug, which beats pouring it from a box. Oh, and the smell? She doesn’t even notice it! My work here is DONE.
