Purina Tidy Cats Litter Box System, BREEZE System Starter Kit Litter Box, Litter Pellets & Pads

I've been using the breeze system for over a month now, and I love it. This litter system has solved all of my litter woes. While it does have some drawbacks, it still warrants 5 stars. A list of the pros and cons: PROS: 1. No more clay litter everywhere!!! I live in a very small apartment, and no matter what I tried, dust and litter particles were all over my house constantly. I was sweeping the floor and brushing litter off shelves on the daily for years. Not mention, I've had 2 vacuums slowly die from the accumulation of clay. If you try to clean it, it turns into cement. And how gross is it to have litter underfoot? With this system, there is NO DUST and NO LITTER PARTICLES anywhere ever. Awesome. 2. Easy to clean. I go through 1 litter pad per week, rotating the drawer 180 degrees a few days in. It's so easy to dump the used pad in the trash, and, if necessary, rinse the drawer. Solid waste is easily scooped out, either with the scooper or a paper towel. There's no scooping and scraping litter clumps out of the bottom of the pan. It takes me about 5 seconds per day to tidy the box. I changed the pellets after 1 month, and the whole system can be rinsed out and bleached in less than 5 mins. So much easier and more sanitary than a clay litter box. 3. Economical. The whole system only costs $20, and the refills are much cheaper than boxes of clay litter. In my one-cat household, this is much more affordable. 4. Most importantly, my cat loves it. She adjusted to the system within a day. She's had zero "accidents," and she doesn't spend 30 minutes grooming herself post-toilet like she used to with clay litter. With no clumps and the odor trapped, she has a fresh box every time she uses it. CONS: 1. I haven't seen the pads available in stores yet. It's super easy to order refills online, but if I forget, I know I can't zip down to the store to get them. 2. Occasional odor. Litter smell to me is unacceptable, and it's tough to beat clay litter for odor control. I take pride in guests commenting that they wouldn't know a cat lives there since the house smells fresh. This system doesn't inherently control solid waste odor, which can be unpleasant, but the smell is eliminated as soon as you scoop, obviously. I also think this will become a nonissue when I move to a larger apartment with a more secluded space for the box. Overall, the pros far outweigh the cons. My parents and 2 friends have switched, too, after visiting and seeing the new system, and all agree they will never switch back. My kitty loves it, and so do I, highly recommend!

21/7/18 - FINAL ADDITION! I have been using these boxes for over 18 months now and I can honestly say, that I cannot see myself every using another option. Until recently, I have had three boxes on the go. But I lost one cat in January and my oldest boy mid-July, so now I am left with one cat and just two boxes. With his brother gone, Maggi happily uses both boxes freely (one was sole domain of the older cat) and spreads his efforts between the two. These boxes are simply the BEST THING AROUND: YES, you can wash the pellets (although they DO start to retain some of the urine smell after a number of months). I still have some original pellets remaining, but I would say that, with cleaning, you're looking at a 4-6 month replacement process. You will also need some spare pellets to replace those that are wasted in cleaning them out each day. YES, you can use other pads in the base - I have tried two different types - generic copies and those designed for humans (to put in the bed - and cut to size). I keep some of the human pads around for emergencies (if my quarterly delivery has not arrived), but the generic ones are not much cheaper than the originals, and they smell more. As others have said - on a monthly basis, drop pellets in (bleach, diluted floor cleaner, Fairy Liquid solution) and hose/shower down the four pieces of the box (a 10 minute process at best). Because I have spare pellets, I refill the boxes with these and leave the dirty pellets to soak for about 24 hours. I then sieve them out the next day, rinse them down, spread them on a tray (now I use the spare green tray from the third set) and let them air-dry. They are then bagged up and ready for the next month's clean. --- APR 2017 EDIT - I gave up trying to migrate the cats (see below) and just gave them just the BREEZE option. They took to it immediately and I've never looked back. I have 3 cats and 2 trays. They tend to pee more in one and poo more in the other, so the pad is replaced more frequently on one of them. That said, 2 pads last approximately 1 week each. Three months into using them and this is what I have observed: • THERE IS NO SMELL - I literally have to be sticking my nose in the saturated pad before I smell the pee. I actually have added a calendar reminder, because once or twice I've forgotten to replace them. The cat's noticed, but I didn't • YOU CAN REWASH THE PELLETS - I have done this twice now (fabric conditioner, warm water, a nice long soak and agitation with gloved hands) and seen no detrimental effect. I cannot guarantee that you will use one bag of pellets forever, but I am in my 3rd month and the only addition to the trays is a sprinkling to augment the few pellets that don't shake off the poo. It's a bit of a chore, but saves the pennies. PADS - I have tried human pads (larger , and designed for beds). They work, but I need to change them daily. A cost-per-day comparison showed them to be pennies cheaper, but the smell increased and they were often soaked so much that pee was flowing the following morning. Use the Breeze pads. They work out (for me) at 28-30 cents a day for three cats. • NOT LEGO - When you tread on them barefoot you notice, but it's hardly the Lego experience that some complain of. They are small and rounded. Sure, I'd prefer NOT to stand on one, but it's fine... • CONSTRUCTION - The four parts (tray, base, filter and surround) are thick plastic, not flimsy at all. 2 of my cats love to dig and no more than a handful of pellets come outside. • COST - OK, these pellets are not cheap, but they outlast regular fullers earth, or clumping litter by a massive factor, making them 'slightly more expensive' that regular options. Factor in the washing option (if you go that way) and they are totally comparable. Even without the washing option, the saving savings made with air fresheners etc, PLUS the fact that the smell is non-existent also has a value. I can see how some cats may not like the transition, but mine are happy with them and, as someone who has used a range of options, this is by far, the best I have ever used. --- ORIGINAL REVIEW It's not the fault of the product makers but, after two weeks, my three cats are only now considering these as legitimate areas to do their business. It seems that under the bed, in the middle of my freshly dry-cleaned duvet or in the shower were more obvious replacements for their old and tired regular trays. That said - the product is well made, well considered, offers sound advice and is a self-contained unit ready to work in two minutes. It's great - My cats are not...

1000000% worth it. The first time set up kit came with everything I needed. My 13 year old cat got upper respitory infection from the pound when she was a kitten and has had breathing issues her whole life. This system is sooooooo much better for her breathing because there is no dust. She use to go into her litter box and sneeze a bunch but doesn't have that issue anymore. And the cleanliness!!! Such an improvement! No more litter tracked EVERYWHERE, just the occasional pellet or two right next to the box that i just scoop up and toss. The pee really does separate cleanly and the poop is so much easier to scoop. The smell is 1000% times better. Everything about it is great, I am so happy I made the switch. It use to be such an ordeal to keep the litter box clean and now it is so so much better and better for kitty.

👍 Positive: • Litter system that does not use regular clumping cat litter • Tray for adding urine pad that can be changed weekly 👎 Negative: • Not a regularly sold item in Germany so it is expensive 👤 Good For: • Those who do not like clumping cat litter • Has a dedicated urine tray in which you can remove the sheet and get a sample to be checked by the vet easily. I have 2 Scottish Fold cat which I brought over from Japan when I started working in Germany. In Japan a very similar litter system is found but uses a different completely different type of litter, which I prefer over zeolite litter. However the system is very convenient when needing to take urine sample. It is too bad it is not sold as a regular item here in Europe as it is expensive to import from USA.

Très bien, plus d'odeur de pipi et plus de poussière.

Here goes - this may be a long post but please persevere! This has to be the best litter system ever! I have, over the last 3/4 years spent hundreds on different litter systems for our Bengal, I even tried the automatic litter system at £130 and threw it away after only a couple of months. He refused to use anything other than a puppy training pad in a litter tray because of previous kidney-related health issues, and he was the first one to use this tray. He is now, after just a few weeks, properly litter-trained again. The system is so easy to use - I change the pads daily (I have 2 very large breed cats and 2 smaller breed cats) and the trays are washed out and litter completely changed once every 3-4 weeks. I had to clean out other trays/systems every 2/3 days previously. I will add though that I find the pads and pellets that come with the system very expensive. I use Amazon Basics pads at £9 for 40 (the refills for the system are a very costly £10 for 4) and there is very little difference in them. I also use a wood pellet (around £15 for a 30 litre bag) instead of the pellets that comes with the system (priced around £25 for a very small bag that will fill 1 litter tray once). Initially using the pads and litter provided, I found that after 3/4 days they stopped using the tray because they could smell the dirty litter. It does eventually dissolve but takes ages. The wood litter when wet turns to sawdust and falls through to the tray beneath and so every time they go to the toilet it is clean. Obviously poop is scooped when they do it, or as soon after as we can I would also say that you need an old paintbrush or similar to actually clean the seive tray as bits go tend to get stuck. It may seem an expensive system but honestly after the initial cost, and especially if you convert to the other pads and wood pellets, you will not look back.

Devo dire che si tratta sicuramente di un buon prodotto. Sicuramente molto più semplice da gestire rispetto alla tradizionale lettiera. Il mio gatto ha 3 lettiere in totale. Questa, e altre 2 "classiche". Usa questa principalmente per urinare. Mentre per defecare preferisce quelle tradizionali. Fate una bella ricerca, per le 2 parti di ricambio: Si trovano entrambe con dei prezzi molto più accessibili.

Reasonable pricing and good quality.
