PrettyLitter is a non-clumping litter. The super dry silica gels absorb the urine and odor, trapping it inside as the water in the urine evaporates out. The solid excrement is the only waste you need to scoop and dispose of. Just throw it away like you normally would and replace all of the litter every month.
You scoop out feces and mix the urine in so the beads absorb the odor. Pretty Litter recommends scooping and mixing daily, and replacing the box about once a month per cat.
Ease of Cleaning
Pretty Litter is as easy to clean as any litter I've tried. I just scooped the poops, gave the litter a stir whenever I saw a pee spot, and that was basically it. The silica crystals absorbed urine very well and left no nasty sludge at the bottom of the litter box.
In a perfect world, cat owners should scoop out the box about twice a day, but it's okay if it's just once a day depending on you and your cat's lifestyles and habits. Just don't let it sit there for more than a day as the kitty litter can get really gross and uninhabitable for your cat…
It's up to you whether you prefer to scoop urine clumps or stir the litter everyday.
The crystals absorb the pee and odor without clumping, so you don't scoop urine clumps. Once a day or every other day, I stir the crystals with a scooper to evenly distribute the saturated crystals with the fresh ones. This prolongs the life of the litter and requires fewer litter changes.
Crystal litter absorbs urine and dehydrates waste, making it five times more effective at reducing odors than other litters such as clumping clay. It is also more cost-effective as cats use less crystal litter over time.
If you store your litter in a dry place, mix the litter daily and make sure kitty's litter box has the required 2 inches of PrettyLitter in their box, the litter should last a full 30 days before it has to be replaced.
Even if you're scooping out the waste regularly, particles can still get stuck in the litter and if you don't change it out once a month, those small particles can end up producing extremely unpleasant odors and could influence your cat to start exhibiting litter box problems!
A: You'll know it's time to change your PrettyLitter when the odor control starts to weaken or when the litter starts to become blue and slushy. Normally, one bag lasts 2 months and should be poured half a bag at a time.
Litter depth
Most cats won't use litter that's more than about two inches deep. Some long-haired cats prefer less litter and a smooth, slick surface, such as the bottom of the box. Adding extra litter won't reduce the amount of cleaning necessary for a litter box.
Each bag of PrettyLitter is intended to last one month for a single medium sized cat (about 10-12Ibs) using an average sized litter box (12" x 16").
For the most part, all experts agree…the litter box should be scooped 1-2 times each day. “Litter boxes should be scooped at least once or twice a day, and it's even better if you can get to it as soon as your cat has finished his business,” said By Dr. Stephanie Janeczko in this featured post on Petfinder.
Standard clumping litter should never, ever be flushed down a toilet. They can cause serious damage to your plumbing.
If you're using a cat litter subscription such as PrettyLitter, it will be time to change your kitty litter once all of the crystals have changed color – ideally to a yellow or lime-green color, which indicates normal urine pH.
If you have multiple cats, we recommend one bag per medium-sized cat and separate litter boxes in order to avoid odors and unhealthy bacteria buildup. With PrettyLitter, one litter box fill should last an entire month for each cat.
When it comes to cat kidney disease, early detection is everything—it's for reasons like this that we made PrettyLitter in the first place. Our color-changing smart technology alerts you to potential health issues, including the early symptoms of kidney failure.
Yes, it's possible. If you notice a color change, we recommend you monitor your cat's PrettyLitter to see if the color change persists.
PrettyLitter is engineered as a complete litter solution for your household and is not intended to be mixed, blended, or combined with other silica or crystal litters.
Rather than traditional clay litter, our formula is made of silica gel crystals. Our crystal litters also won't easily stick to Fluffy's paws.
Some cats dislike crystal litter because it pokes their paws uncomfortably.
Corn Cat Litter
Corn-based cat litters, such as World's Best Cat Litter, are made from whole corn kernels or corn cob fibers and have a fresh, clean scent. Most are free of chemicals, clays, silicas, perfumes, bentonite, or synthetic ingredients.
Silica litter absorbs moisture and binds odours with its unique structure. Instead of removing clumps, silica litter needs to be changed. It can remain in your cat's litter tray for up to four weeks without giving off the characteristic smell of cat urine.
