Purina Tidy Cats Breeze Covered Cat Litter Box System Kit with Pellet Cat Litter, Hooded Litter Box, and Litter Box Pads

I can't even count how many types and brands of litter I have tried, but it was getting ridiculous. I am pretty gullible, so anytime I saw an add for a litter that would "revolutionize" the way I lived with a litter box, I jumped on it. I tried PrettyLitter last, and HATED it. I saw an add for the Breeze and I convinced my husband to let me buy it to try. I am currently pregnant, and the smell of ammonia from pee will have me over the toilet right away. I got the Breeze and it changed our life instantly. The first thing I will say is that your cat might not love it right away. Especially if you have been using a clay or sand type litter, of the size of the pellets takes some time for them to adjust to. With that being said, don't give up because it is so worth it. I saw quite a few reviews recommending that people use airsoft pellets instead of the pellets provided, which I tried, and do not recommend. They will get EVERYWHERE. And because they are little balls, they are extremely difficult to sweep up since they roll everywhere. I have not used them in months and I am still finding them around the house. The pellets work just fine for me, and last over a month. One thing I LOVE about this that is unlike any other litter system is that you NEVER have to smell or scoop chunks of pee. I hate that with a passion, and I mentioned earlier, it makes me throw up. Our cat's litter box is in our bedroom (no other place to put it!) and I swear I have never once smelled an ammonia smell. The pee pad traps all the odor in it, and even when you have to change the pad, you can hardly smell it. On the topic of smells, the only downside is that the pellets do not coat the poop like other litters do, so the poop is a little extra smelly when you have to scoop it, but really, it's not bad at all. Overall, this is the best litter system on the market, unless you can afford one of those $1,000 self cleaning machines. Litter is never fun to scoop, and never fun to deal with. If only cats could go potty outside like dogs do, but alas, that is not reality. If you have been sucked into all the litter ads claiming they will change your life, don't listen to them. This is the only litter box you will ever want or need. Cheaper, less smelly, and easier to clean than anything else on the market. Get yourself a Breeze and stop wishing you don't have a cat any time you are forced to do litter duties.

When a kitty takes a really stinky poo, it is BAD for a bit, so I have gone and scooped a really smelly poo immediately. But, most of the time I never know a kitty has pooped, and this system is a dream. There’s no more litter dust over an entire room. There’s no more litter tracked alllllllllllll over. They do kick a few pellets out, but it’s few. I just run the floor sweeper and am done with it, but you could sweep them up and throw them back in. I did feel that one bag wasn’t quite enough, so I use a bag and a half. I have enough pellets for two full batches and wash them, rotating them out every 3 or 4 weeks. I scoop the poo out daily.Now for the pee, with four cats using one box, I change the pad out every 3 or 4 days. I start checking it on the third day. Our house has NO MORE CAT BOX SMELL!!!!! When it starts to smell a bit, it’s time to swap pellets and wash the soiled batch. But, even when they smell, you only notice it when you’re near the box. With all clay litter I’ve tried, the whole house stinks and the only solution is to completely dump the entire mess and start fresh, but that only lasts a few days even when you scoop daily. As for the smell of the pads, they smell like a wet disposable diaper, which I don’t find pleasant since I prefer cloth diapers, but it’s way better than the ammonia smell you typically have to deal with when cleaning the litter box. And, you literally deal with the pad for two seconds.As for maintenance, with regular litter, we scooped daily, had a heavy bag of clumps to deal with, they stink so bad that the bag had to immediately go to the outside trash, and then threw a little new litter on top. With the Breeze system, we scoop one little bag of poo each day and open the drawer to check the pad. If it needs to be changed, I slide the pad directly into the grocery sack I’m using for the poo, never touching it. Then pop in a new pad. I tie off the grocery bag and toss it in the regular trash. The pellets really do dehydrate the poo so that it isn’t stinky and the pads of pee don’t smell too bad either, so the tied off grocery bag contains it until the trash is taken out. It really is so much cleaner, less smelly, and easier to clean.As for cost, I’ve read that people think it’s more expensive, but I spent an average of $8 per week on clay litter with four cats (and our house stunk). While this box was more of an upfront cost, once I had my two batches of pellets (3 bags), the pads are less than $6 for a four pack at my local store, and I use two per week, so about $3 per week. I just ordered some generic pads here on amazon that would drastically lower this price if they prove to work well. But, if not, the breeze ones are still saving me money over regular litter.The negative, I have one kitty that isn’t a fan of the pellets and will choose a fresh basket of laundry or a towel, blanket, or clothing left on the floor. If we make sure to keep things put away, he uses the box.
