My Review of "World's Best Cat Litter" Multiple cat

    I would like to give a review of World’s Best Cat Litter Multiple Cat Clumping Formula, and World’s Best Cat Litter (WBCL).  The litter a is corn-based litter.  Let me lay down some ground work before I continue with my review.

     Previously I have tried numerous litters.  All the clay based ones, and the pearls.  I also reverted back to the old original Tidy Cat non-scoop.  Then I tried the new Breeze Cat litter system.  That was a challenge going from a clay based scoopable to the large pellets in the Breeze system.  I eventually convinced my cats to use the Breeze system.     The Breeze system was not so bad.  It was certainly nice not having to carry those heavy 20 pound boxes and bags of clay litter.  All you had to do was buy the special pee-pads and pellets.  The problem with that was the price.  If you only had one cat then it might not be such an issue.  I had three cats.  I ended up having to change the pad everyday.  It cost $4.36 per pack of 4 pads. That was the Walmart price too.  I was spending more money on this type of litter system.  The clean up was also rather challenging.  My one cat was prone to loose stools, which would fall between the pellets and collect on the plactic mesh, so clean up time involved taking the entire box outside and scrubbing off the poo.  That was a nightmare. After too many of these episodes and reviewing my budget I started searching for a better litter.

     I supose I should mention that one night as I was thinking about my situation, and trying to figure out what to do, I ran across a T.V. show called "The Sharktank".  While watching this show there was a woman selling her solution to litter box nightmares.  She had invented a product call "CityKitty".
I bought it.   I was excited about the fact that I could teach my cats to now use the toilet!!  I really had high hopes in this.  I have to say with all honesty that I believe this would have worked.  I have to give this product justice.  It really came close to working for me.   You see, my problem was the fact that I have 3 cats ranging in age from 14, then 11, and 3.  The 3 year old, being the newest member and not very fond of other cats anyhow, was having a bad attitude about this new toilet training system.  She is a very clean cat; and no doubt if it was only for her she might would have really liked this idea.  But she hated and still hates the other two older cats and does not like to be around them and will not use a box that they have stepped in.  So when I moved all the boxes to the downstairs bathroom to start training them to "go" to the toilet box, she just started soiling the house.  This was not going to work.  The other two, having grown up together, seemed to be making a go at it.  The thing was that the box was only so big around and the idea was to cut out a center hole each week until they were going in the toilet.  Like I said, I believe it would have worked if I had only one cat or maybe two.  I could not keep up with them going in that small oval box.   The point here being, you were suposed to use a "Flushable" liter to help with the training.  This is where I first discovered "World's Best Cat Litter."

    While attempting to train my cats to go to the toilet I discovered the best litter I had ever tried.  This "World's Best Cat Litter" is wonderful. 

There is virtually no dust.
It is very light in weight compared to the clays.
It has a pleasant odor, (and this is just the original)
It clumped well, and was not hard to scoop.
It stuck together well also. It was easy to get out of the box.
The poos also were easy to remove and because it is a flushable litter you can just flush away the feces and smell.  I only flush the feces.  I scoop and throw away the urine.


Review Round-up-

+ Very low to no dust
+ Great odor control
+ Flushable (as WBCL points out on their bag, regulations vary as to whether it is okay to flush litter box waste in your area)
+ Environmentally friendly. It’s made of corn so it’s completely biodegradable.
+ Requires less litter per pound than regular clumping litter to fill to the same level
+ Light texture making it easy to scoop all the way to the bottom of the box
+ Clumps well, but breaks down in water so it shouldn’t cause problems with plumbing
– Some cats and dogs may find it appealing to eat. It’s important to remember to monitor your pets to make sure they aren’t ingesting a large amount of litter. If they are this may not be the litter for them.   Any type of litter can be a problem. Since corn and other grained based products (including pet foods) can get a mold called aflatoxin, the litter box should not be kept and the litter should not be stored in damp areas as moisture can cause this mold to develop. Please if your cats show any signs of illness, get them to a vet! Cats, especially ones that are overweight, can develop a deadly condition called hepatic lipidosis if they are not eating regularly. Their body starts to metabolize their fat stores which their liver can not handle. This condition can happen for what seems like no reason, so please do not wait several days to see if your cat gets better.

– Some cats may have a problem with a sudden switch from the current litter, so a slow change-over may need to be done.



     This cat litter also comes in a scented formula that has lavender oil.  Some cats may not like this because they are sensitive to odors.  It seems to have a strong smell.  I prefer the original multicat formula in the red and black bag. There is also an original clumping formula, which I believe is for a single cat household.

    I am so happy to have discovered this litter.  It is so easy to maintain my cats litter boxes now. 

The last cowgirl

    I grew up in a rural setting.  It was in the 70's, things were still slow and quiet.  Even though we lived very close to a major airport the roads were single lanes and there were plenty of wide open spaces with trees and streams and hillsides. To me it was "country",  I spent my time running around barefooted.   Playtime meant using your imagination and objects found lying around. Not game boys, or high tech toys.  Lunch usually consisted of vegetables grabbed out of the garden.  Nothing better than a big fresh vine ripe tomato.  Just wipe it off on your shirt and bite into it.   

      My older cousin lived next to us.   My cousin T is the one that got me interested in riding horses.  She would have mom put me on her horse's back and ride me around.   I loved it.  I was only about 3 years old.  As soon as I was old enough I asked for a horse of my own and got it.  I was around 6 years old. That is where all the adventures began.  I was definately a morning person, and I still am today.  I would wake at the crack of dawn and go outside to start my day of play.  My cousin, on the other hand, would often times sleep in.  I know she was sick of me banging on the window to get her up in the mornings.   She would eventually get up.  First thing I wanted to do was to go riding. Mostly we rode bare back.  Bareback means with out a saddle.  I never did like a saddle under me.  I felt more close to the horse when I rode bareback.  We called it indian style.  A few times we would go all out with the saddle and all the gear, but I really loved riding indian style. 
       
     We would pack a lunch, and some snacks for the horses, a blanket to sit on, and a few various other things, and off we would go on a great adventure.  We would escape from reality while on our horses.  You can be anything you want to be.  We would explore all over the area where we lived.  We saw so many awesome sights and creatures.  There is nothing like wondering through the woods on the back of a horse.  All you hear is the footsteps of your horse walking along.  Of course you have to look out for low limbs and trees. There is also the occasional spider web between two trees with the huge spider on it.  I can not tell you how many times I had a fit because I realized I had just rode into a spider web.  Then you look down and see that huge spider on your shirt front.  Can you imagine the convulsive dancing and arm slapping and flailing, while trying to slap that spider off of you?  Other then those crazy moments everything else was peaceful.   Moving along at such a relaxed pace you can see nature at it's finest.  We climbed hills,  we crossed creeks, we followed the railroad tracks.  We found an old abandoned burial site one time.  That was exciting.  The headstones were so old they were mostly crumbled and gone, except for the very bottom piece.  There were two that were still barely readable.  The one of the lamb, that was witherd and worn from time, was for a male child.  It was dated from the 1800's.  From the dates it appeared that the child had only managed to live for a few months.  There in the middle of these woods up a hillside under some large oak trees stood the small  plot of a family from the late 1700's to 1800's.  That is something I will always remember.  There were no digital cameras then, there was no way to really capture that moment except in my mind. Now as I share it, it is as if I am back there sitting on my horse's back looking at that headstone of the lamb with the ear missing and the edges all rounded off with the effects of time and weather.

   This is just one of many memories of the times I rode horses as a child.  Most of my early memories of childhood involve horse back riding.  I did other things as well, as most kids do.  I played ball with the neighborhood kids.  I fished in the nearby pond. (I also would ride my horse there and tie her with a long rope to a tree so she could eat grass while I fished for a while.) I rode my bike. I mostly stayed outside all day until it was time to eat dinner.  I would also go back outside after eating and play until dark.  Sometimes when the moon was full my cousin and I would just go get the horses and get on them with no bridal or saddle and just walk around the pasture in the light of the full moon.  That too is peaceful.  The horses would just amble along through the pasture while we sat on their backs looking up at the stars and moon.  Funny how it seems that back then there were billions of bright stars and the moon was so big it looked like you could reach out and touch it. 

     To this day I still love horses and everything that having one as a child has brought to my life.  I love my childhood memories of horsback riding.  I wish sometimes today, as an adult, that I could just lie back on my horse's back as she munched on the grass, and gaze up at the sky and the passing clouds.  Those were the days when things were much simpler.  Hope you enjoyed this story.

The path I am taking

Well It has been a while since I last wrote anything.  I have been hoping someone would make some comments as to suggest some material.  I have also been somewhat depressed over the passing of my beloved cat Hailey. 

      So I am here again and just wanted to reach out and let everyone know what has been going on.  I am going to start to volunteer at my local animal shelter.   I have decided  that if I want to pursue  a career change to animal health and care the best place to start is to volunteer at the shelter.  I can learn valuable skills and start off with helping animals in need.  From there I can build a portfolio of experience with working with animals.   Then I will be able to look for positions at some local veterinary hospitals.  There is no greater reward then to help an animal in need.  Animals do not pick their demise.  They are the victims of humans dysfunction.  My goal and plan is to learn and then through this blog and other venues,  educate more people about the health and welfare of our domesticated animal friends and companions.  Of course I will also share funny and touching and heart warming stories about what I see and learn about animals along the way.  I believe this is the right path for me to follow as I journey through life.

I will close for now and send good wishes your way.
