I have been using cat litter for several years and not just for cats, this is also good for the garage floor and driveway to absorb oil spots. If you do not use litter and you let the cat just go the dogs will think that these little pieces of cat feces are nothing but a little brown treat. The dogs will run and seek out where they have deposited. I know because there have been several times that I have caught my dogs with their head inside of the litter box, just like they do when you leave the lid up on their porcelain water bowl (toilet bowl). But, since we are forever changing our litter in our cats litter box we look at all of our options, such as price and how well does it really work. "Johnny Cat", cat litter is just a run of the mill inexpensive scoop-able clay cat litter. There are hundreds of different brands on the market today that will do the same thing, but will also cost twice as much. Along with this twenty pound jug, you can also find this in the bag 10 pound bag. This stuff runs about .50cents a pound.

Description
This is grey in color and comes in little bitty clay pieces. This also comes in natural and fragrance free, but it will scoop very well. When poured straight from the container, and I don't care how slowly that you pour it you will get a cloud of dust from the litter. That is okay though, the drier the better, this makes for better clumping ability. This litter will allow you to only have to change the litter once a month because it has a long lasting effect. This starts the moment that you pour this into the litter box. This litter will lock in the odor when it comes in contact any feces, and because the clay is a highly absorbent clay it will work for days. Instead of smelling you will have a clean fresh scent coming from the litter box. No more urine smell as long as you scoop the litter regularly.

Experience
We have been using this for quite a while now and have had positive results when it comes to keeping the smell down, plus the clay pieces do not get tract onto the carpeting or floor after the use the litter. We have two cats and when we do a full change of litter once a month, we usually use about 10 pounds of litter at a time. How much litter that you use will depend a lot on the size of your litter box. We have one of those large covered litter boxes, this also helps keep the smell from getting out and smelling up the house. We usually scoop every morning and this ensures that the cats will use the litter box and not some corner somewhere. When they use the box the feces and litter come together and form a clump, this allows you to use a scoop and just take this out with ease in the morning. Even the urine will form a clump and come out of the litter really easy.

The container says to spread 3" of litter, but I prefer a little more for two cats. I still remember the first night that we had our cats, when we had to use some newspaper the smell was horrendous. Since then we have learned that Johnny Cat Litter will absorb all the odor and make it nice to have two cats run throughout the house. We always make sure that we put in a generous supply so that our cats will continue to use the litter box and not use any corner of our house.

I have heard horror stories about unruly cats that have behavioral problems and we don't want to endure problems like that. Because once they start to do that then they will not stop and I will not hesitate to boot them out. But, I figure that if we do our part and make it nice for them, then they will make it nice for us.

Warnings
If you are pregnant then you will have to have someone else clean the box, because cat feces carries a parasite called toxoplasmosis. This can be transmitted to a pregnant woman or a woman with a suppressed immune system. Also make sure that whomever cleans the litter box washes their hands so that they do not spread the parasite to other women.

Conclusion
I can highly recommend purchasing this type of litter for your cat. This is inexpensive and will leave your room odor free unless you forget to collect the feces from your cats litter box. Also remember, that if your dogs happen to get into the litter box and eat the feces, this is also dangerous to them. They could get a disease that will make them incapacitate them. My daughter had this happen to her schnauzer. So, remember scoop, scoop, scoop, and you should have no problems.
