2793.2i'm using it but . . .OCTOP1::PLOETZPaula PloetzWed Aug 23 1989 13:1134
    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.
    
2793.4Liked it for a wahileMCIS1::MICHAELSONWed Aug 23 1989 16:367
    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.
