Breeze litter pellets are cat-friendly and non-tracking. Unlike traditional clay litter, Breeze uses specially designed litter pellets that are 99.9 percent dust free. Breeze litter pellets allow urine to pass through to an odor controlling unit. The urine is quickly absorbed leaving solid waste on top for quick, easy removal.
Tidy Cats Breeze Litter Pellet Refill, 3.5-Pound Packages (Pack of 6)Reviews
By One Tree in the Forest (Del Rio, Tennessee, USA)
About 25 years ago Pet Supplies Plus carried a litter system that was similar to this. The tray was two part--the litter box with slits in the bottom so the urine could run through, and a base that had an indent in it the exact size to hold a folded newspaper. The litter itself was ground up corncob that was very heavily clay coated. It was recommended that the litter be washed and dried periodically. The man who invented the system went broke and the last time I was able to get any litter it was from a small supply he had in his garage. Since then I have looked for a similar system because even if you didn't sift the cat pan daily, there was very little odor involved. When I received email announcements of the Breeze system I got excited. I called Tidy Cats and asked what the litter was made of. I was told it was clay that had been treated with an enzyme and it was now "rock like". I immediately bought a system and took some litter and soaked it in water for a week. It was absolutely unchanged!!! The "pads" did not last a week with one cat only (I had 3 cats and ultimately 3 Breeze systems). I measured the Breeze unit and came up with a plan. I popped off the bottom section (that holds the tray). I then set the remainder of the unit on a bus box (the plastic bins that bus "boys" pick dirty dishes up in). I put newspaper in the bottom of the bus box. I have washed the litter once and it must be at least 9 months since I started with the system. I sift the pans and change the paper. When I did wash the litter I put on rubber gloves and picked out all the very small pieces of stool that had made it through the sifter. I made 2 "stuff" bags out of a very strong nylon knitted fabric (similar to "jersey" fabric--the stuff with holes in it that is used on football uniforms). I put the litter in the two bags (the litter from 3 pans) and washed it in the WASHING MACHINE. I tumble dried it in the drier for awhile (still in the bags), then took it out of the bags and spread it out thinly on some trays to dry. I cannot see any good reason to replace the litter once a month if your cats have normal consistency stool. In fact I would only recommend this system if your cat has normal stool. This system is not good for cats with loose stool. I figure by using newspaper and washing the litter this is the most "green" system there is, and possibly the absolute cheapest. Plan on buying extra litter. It seems to take 1-1/2 bags of the litter for the cats to feel they have succeeded in covering their stool (one bag only and the cats seemed frustrated). I'd say to plan on 2 bags of litter per year per unit, one to allow the extra amount for cat digging, and the rest to replenish the litter that is lost because it is stuck to stool. I cannot imagine needing to wash the litter more often than every three months (but you might want every so often, to pick out the small pieces of stool that make it though the sifter. I used an extra strong concentrated dish washing liquid to wash the litter.
