My new kitty seems to be settling down. Still trying to bite me now and then but is getting better.

It will be 2 weeks Saturday that I got her. PetSmart suggested I buy this new Corn cat litter. I think the bag was 14 lbs...it is now gone so I can't make reference. It was $18.00 for the bag, I did not realize how $$$ it was until I reviewed my slip when I got home. It was included with food and toys.

Anyway, it may be good for the environment, OK to flush and all that good stuff but when it is used, it smells like a compost heap. I really cannot stand the smell. It may cover the cat odors but leaves instead this awful musty, earthy odor once it gets wet.

I am very careful to keep the litter box clean but the clumps it makes are huge and after 3 box changes since I got the kitty,(not yet 2 weeks) it sure does not go far. That is over $6.00 a clean box. I probably changed it more often than needed but I had to get rid of the other non-cat smell.

Today when shopping for more cat food, I priced litter at the grocery store and all types were far less money. I don't know what to buy, scented, clay, granulated, pine, other, good grief.

Anyone here suggest what litter they have had good results with?

Thanks
