Tidy Cats Breeze Original Litter Box System

1000000% worth it. The first time set up kit came with everything I needed. My 13 year old cat got upper respitory infection from the pound when she was a kitten and has had breathing issues her whole life. This system is sooooooo much better for her breathing because there is no dust. She use to go into her litter box and sneeze a bunch but doesn't have that issue anymore. And the cleanliness!!! Such an improvement! No more litter tracked EVERYWHERE, just the occasional pellet or two right next to the box that i just scoop up and toss. The pee really does separate cleanly and the poop is so much easier to scoop. The smell is 1000% times better. Everything about it is great, I am so happy I made the switch. It use to be such an ordeal to keep the litter box clean and now it is so so much better and better for kitty.

What a great litter box. My cat loves it. Used it right away. I love the no clump pick up. Tidy Cat out did themselves. The size it perfect for cats up to 15lbs maybe more. Its built very well. I know it will be very durable. The best feature is the absorbency pad. No smell no mess and no litter out of the box. Hurray!

Short answer: This is the BEST litter system you can have in your home for ALL of the issues you face with litter boxes: Cost/Urine Smell/Tracking. I will start out by saying that we have 7 cats in the apartment. I personally have 5 and my roommate has 2. I first bought this system on August 13, 2015 and I'm just reviewing now as I like to wait and see how products work for me after a while before I review. I started with one system to see how it would be and kept my traditional litter box for about 4 days. My 3 kittens got big enough where it was clear that I needed another litter box but I was so, so, so, SO over the litter being tracked everywhere with the 2 adult cats and the kittens constantly in and out of it. It felt like all I was doing is sweeping up tracked litter. So, I decided to try this system to see if it helped with that issue. The reviews were excellent, so I went for it. I figured that it may be a little gross but I would return it if it didn't work for me and my cat family-luckily returning it was NEVER an issue because I love this system. The cats were very interested and at first would only poop in the Breeze, I think because they didn't understand how to cover their pee. But the thing is that they don't have to cover their pee with the Breeze, it just goes down the grate into the pad. I was so impressed with the fact that there was NO smell and tracking is just the pellets-easy to pick up and toss back in because no matter what, cats will kick some out. I bought a tiny little dust pan at the 99 cent store to quickly pick up several at a time (and not touch them and have to wash my hands frequently) and pellets on the floor vs little granules is a HUGE improvement. Much more easy to contain and your home doesn't feel like one big litter box with litter all over the place. After about 4 days I removed the old box and ordered by second Breeze. When my new roommate moved in we got a 3rd Breeze and it's a good amount of boxes for the 7 cats. If we did the recommended amount of Breeze boxes for 7 cats we would have about 15+ boxes and that's just NOT necessary. Of course, I work from home and can scoop out the poop consistently (I'l get to the poop situation a little later in my review). If you have lots of cats and are away from home for long periods then you should get extra boxes-I think that the amount that they suggest is overkill but it IS a good idea to add more pellets than what they system comes with. I suggest you buy the system, see what I mean and order extra pellets sooner than later, I should have done that prior to when I really needed more, because the cats seemed happier with extra pellets and they were able to cover poop better. I've tried many brands of litter and my old litter box was the kind with the hood and the swinging door but that didn't stop the tracking issue. The bottom line is that the same things happen with any litter: you get tracking, and one of your hobbies is trying to contain it, because stepping in it SUCKS, having it all over your house SUCKS. Another problem: you may have a few days of a stink free litter box, but no matter how tight clumping litter can be, or how good it is at odor control-you'll get bits that fall off and after a few days you have a pee smell that will only go away when you clean the whole box out, and a few days later you'll have the same problem. But you know this. With The Breeze System you don't have these problems. First off, the pad that goes underneath holds A LOT of urine and it contains the urine smell almost TOO WELL. If you want a litter box that makes you forget what it's like to have a smelly pee box-this is the only solution. It will ONLY smell once it is beyond full, so try to remember to check the pad every couple of days. It's not the end of the world if it gets over full. Just put on gloves and drain into your toilet or a bathtub. It's not the funnest thing in the world but it's not THAT bad either. I think I push it by forgetting until I start to smell it, but I can't seem to get to it before it's beyond full! And I'm a bit ashamed to say that with all of these cats I'll change the pads probably every 2 weeks! But I have never had an over flow problem...I haven't pushed it THAT far. However, I do have an out-of-sight/out-of-mind issue with changing the pad, and that's just because it doesn't smell. So, having extra pee to deal with draining if you forget to change it and not smelling pee is FAR better than CONSTANTLY smelling pee (like you do now). =/ As far as the pellets go, they are like rocks. They will not disintegrate and probably last forever. The only reason you'll need more is because the pellets stick to the poop. What I do is scoop up the poop and shake it in the scooper so the loose pellets fall off so they aren't wasted. One reviewer said that she washed the pellets after a few weeks. I have done this three times since I have had this system. What I do is dump the pellets into a the plain litter box that I used for when the kittens got to the "litter box" stage of their lives. Then I soak them in hot water in the tub for about 20 minutes, then I add Natures Miracle and let it soak some more. Then I rinse, dump them back into the Breeze box and leave outside in the sun so it can drain and dry. The pellets are like new, and smell like Natures Miracle. I'm sure you can do this same thing with any other cleaner, or none at all. The point is to get the old poop that is stuck to the pellets is removed and you have good-as-new pellets and saved money. DA POOP! Now, the issue with poop is that the cats will cover it but because it's not like traditional litter, it cannot be completely covered up due to the nature of the pellets, so if your cat dumps an extra nasty, smelly pile-you will smell it, the smell WILL travel. But that can also happen with traditional litter. Like I said before, extra pellets in the box is the way to go, and helps in this regard. A good thing is that you (and your cats) will have a cleaner litter box because you will be getting rid of the poop much more frequently than you are now. If you're interested in any "cons" here they are: -The pellets are loud when the cats are kicking it around. If you're a light sleeper and the box is close to your bedroom (or in it) and you have an energetic cat who likes to really go to town on kicking or covering-it will probably wake you up. BUT I will also say that I am a light sleeper and at first it did startle me when they were in the bathroom, but I pretty much got used to the new noise. -The pellets do come out of the litter box when the cats jump out. I have a couple of cats who act like their pee or poop will jump up and attack them so they jump out so they won't be killed. When my more tempered cats use the boxes; hardly any come out. To help with flying pellets I turned my box around, so the big opening faces the tub and left a couple of inches for them to walk on that side, if they choose to instead of climbing over the high part, but they can step in easily that way too. Turning the litter box will drastically reduce how many pellets fly out of the box. I would also recommend that you put something under the box (I use a throw rug from IKEA) and leave some room between the box and the wall/tub. I have my 2 boxes on one and that plus turning the boxes around really help with the amount of pellets that get on the floor. I do wish they would come up with a hood you could buy, THAT would make this system pretty much perfect. -Kittens just LOVE to play with the rolling pellets-especially if they get in the tub. Keep your tub's drain covered so they don't fall in. Do not encourage them to play with them, and pick them up from your tub/floor quickly. -It's a fact that at first your cats will wonder what the hell is going on with their litter, maybe they'll look at you and think, "Is this that Newspaper crap???" NOPE kitty, not even close. They like to dig, they like to cover (the nice ones do anyway) and the pellets are very different from what they are used to. They won't like it so much at first, they will act weird when stepping in them, but they are round and won't hurt their feet. Trust me, they will get used to it. My adult cats were much less excited about the new litter, but within a few days they were on board. And I'm pretty sure that they are happier with this. How could they not be? Their litter doesn't stink, they aren't standing in old pee (and not walking all over your floors, counters, beds with urine on their feet and dirty kitty paw prints will never be seen again!!!) and their poop gets picked up because it's not buried under litter... And even if the little brats don't like it, I DO. I LOVE IT! I will NEVER EVER, EVER go back to a traditional litter box...And since THEY don't work or PAY or CLEAN up after themselves, I GET THE FINAL VOTE! -Trying to purchase the pellets or pads in a store is impossible, and I have NO idea why...However, I'm sure even if stores did sell them that they would be way more expensive than purchasing on Amazon anyway! So WHO CARES about this little issue??? Buy the 6 pack of pellets, buy the 2 or 4 pack of pads here on Amazon and you're good for many months. The first time I bought more it was the 6 pack of pellets and 4 pack of pads (16 pads) and it was $65 for 3 months for 7 cats and I still have a couple of pads left. Try and beat that with all of the other positives I've listed. You just won't be able to. I'm just now purchasing my 2nd round of 6 pack pellets and this time I'm buying the 2 pack of pad (8 total pads) for $15 instead of 16 as they last a long time, but buying the 6 pack of pellets is the most economical way to go as single packs are about $10 each. Enjoy your new Breeze System...Oh, and one last and final tip...Each system comes with a $7 coupon for another system. If you're planning on getting more than one, wait for the first one and buy your additional ones with your coupon. Amazon is the best company and have gone BEYOND in many ways to make my life easier...I called Amazon to apply the credit because when ordering as there isn't a way to add this type of coupon on your own.

1 YEAR+ UPDATE This is by FAR my favorite litter box i've ever had, ever. We have two cats and have been using this box since they were pretty young kittens. They are also outdoor cats so they do go outside a lot (i think it is their preference, but they DO need to go inside sometimes) Due to the fairly infrequent uset I literally hardly ever have to do anything with it. I scoop poo every now and then, and if it starts to smell (which is rare) I'll change the pad below. It does the best job out of any product I've ever used in keeping the ammonia odor to nearly nothing. The litter lasts pretty much forever. It does stick to the poos so over time you will lose litter volume, I just add a bit more when needed. I've only used maybe 3 refill bags in a year, and replace the pads every couple months. I am pretty sensitive to the ammonia/pee odor and would be very bothered it it got stinky, but it just doesn't happen very quickly. It's really shocking to me how little maintenance is required for this box. Obviously if my cats were fully indoors they would use it more regularly and my upkeep would be a bit more, but honestly I believe it would still be superior to any other typical litter. I especially love that the litter does not track all over the place. you might get a couple nuggets immediately outside of the box but it's SO much better than regular sand-like litter that goes all over The only 1 worry I do have is that with two dogs that occasionally drag out some "kitty roca" likely ingest some pellets in the process. It's been a year now, and it does not happen frequently... but I have worried that it could potentially cause issues, though no problems as of yet. Pretty sure they are not meant to be ingested - but my dogs are stupid (also adorable) and cannot resist an occasional kitty poo snack. Original Review: I have been using this system with our two new kittens for about 2 weeks and so far it has been great. I have had many cats over the years and have tried many styles of litter boxes, this one is my favorite. I was afraid it was a bit gimmicky and that the young kittens would not take to the pellet litter. Luckily they went straight to it and have had not problems (yay) It is a bit odd to clean the poo out, scooping is just a bit different than it is with most litter, but I've had no problems. The urine smell is non-existent. I love that. even when you scoop there is no ammonia smell. To those that complain about the poo odor.. Yeah, there is a poo odor immediately after my cats drop a deuce, but I have not had a problem with the odor lingering for long. we have a second litter box in the basement that is a more traditional style, and the same issue exists there so its not like the poo doesn't smell when they use other litter. dusting a poo with sand does not encapsulate the stink. Great product. very happy with purchase. love that my floor doesn't feel gritty or dirty from the sand style litter making it's way out of the box. Some of the pellets have made it out, but not many, and they are easy enough to sweep up quickly, and don't track around.

👍 Positive: • Litter system that does not use regular clumping cat litter • Tray for adding urine pad that can be changed weekly 👎 Negative: • Not a regularly sold item in Germany so it is expensive 👤 Good For: • Those who do not like clumping cat litter • Has a dedicated urine tray in which you can remove the sheet and get a sample to be checked by the vet easily. I have 2 Scottish Fold cat which I brought over from Japan when I started working in Germany. In Japan a very similar litter system is found but uses a different completely different type of litter, which I prefer over zeolite litter. However the system is very convenient when needing to take urine sample. It is too bad it is not sold as a regular item here in Europe as it is expensive to import from USA.

Très bien, plus d'odeur de pipi et plus de poussière.

Here goes - this may be a long post but please persevere! This has to be the best litter system ever! I have, over the last 3/4 years spent hundreds on different litter systems for our Bengal, I even tried the automatic litter system at £130 and threw it away after only a couple of months. He refused to use anything other than a puppy training pad in a litter tray because of previous kidney-related health issues, and he was the first one to use this tray. He is now, after just a few weeks, properly litter-trained again. The system is so easy to use - I change the pads daily (I have 2 very large breed cats and 2 smaller breed cats) and the trays are washed out and litter completely changed once every 3-4 weeks. I had to clean out other trays/systems every 2/3 days previously. I will add though that I find the pads and pellets that come with the system very expensive. I use Amazon Basics pads at £9 for 40 (the refills for the system are a very costly £10 for 4) and there is very little difference in them. I also use a wood pellet (around £15 for a 30 litre bag) instead of the pellets that comes with the system (priced around £25 for a very small bag that will fill 1 litter tray once). Initially using the pads and litter provided, I found that after 3/4 days they stopped using the tray because they could smell the dirty litter. It does eventually dissolve but takes ages. The wood litter when wet turns to sawdust and falls through to the tray beneath and so every time they go to the toilet it is clean. Obviously poop is scooped when they do it, or as soon after as we can I would also say that you need an old paintbrush or similar to actually clean the seive tray as bits go tend to get stuck. It may seem an expensive system but honestly after the initial cost, and especially if you convert to the other pads and wood pellets, you will not look back.

Devo dire che si tratta sicuramente di un buon prodotto. Sicuramente molto più semplice da gestire rispetto alla tradizionale lettiera. Il mio gatto ha 3 lettiere in totale. Questa, e altre 2 "classiche". Usa questa principalmente per urinare. Mentre per defecare preferisce quelle tradizionali. Fate una bella ricerca, per le 2 parti di ricambio: Si trovano entrambe con dei prezzi molto più accessibili.

Reasonable pricing and good quality.
