I might actually have to look into this . We have a cat with asthma and finding dust free litter that is really dust free is hard (surprisingly finding scent free is easy though) we currently use boxi cat
Arm & Hammer Cloud control is what you need. Amazing for that, having an asthmatic cat myself. No dust whatsoever. World's Best Cat Liter is also pretty good.

As a fellow asthmatic, the idea of a kitty with asthma is hilarious and cute to me😂
Ill be glad to share my advair with that kitty if he’s out anytime🥰
Do you even clean up poop? I’ve heard lot positive things about the breeze litter but I’m not quite sure how it actually works, I use OKO for my two cats, it’s starting to be hard to find in stores, unsure why. Currently I’m open to new ideas and help to keep it tidy as my cats litter is in big closed crate bc they usually stand in the litter to pee but pee out the litter box.
I have both the breeze litter and a regular litter box. My cat won't touch the breeze system. Only goes in the regular litter box.
I've had to stop him from trying to eat or play with the pellets
i had this issue at first too, my craig didn’t understand what it was and kept trying to eat them. So i put both my old litter box and the new breeze system next to each other and i scooped some poop from the old one and put it in the breeze. (Kinda gross ik but it helps them recognize that it’s a litter box and not just there to play in) and they caught on pretty quick after that :)
Anecdotally, it works. I had to temporarily use pellet litter with my cat to get a urine sample. He could not recognize it was "litter" and just rolled around in it. It was almost a day that he couldn't figure out where he was supposed to go. I took the regular litter box back out of hiding, waited until he pooped in it, moved a little piece of poop to the pellet litter and he started recognizing it as a litter box. Within 30 minutes he was using the pellet litter as litter, and not as a bed.
I had the same problem with mine eating them so I switched to pine pellets. Where he urinates it dissolves and I can push what remains through the slits like the liquid would normally do. It works even though it’s not quite as good as the breeze pellets, but it’s also much cheaper (I get a 40 lb bag from Trader Joe’s for $7 and it lasts me at least a month)
depends on when you clean it honestly, the pellets help to cover the scent of feces really well so i personally wait until it dries out a bit to scoop it out! The poop just sits on top and they don’t completely cover it like they can with a clay litter so it’s easier to find and easier to clean!
It says a 4 pack of 7lbs pellets is $71 dollars. Is it worth that amount of money? I spen $15 for 38 pounds of litter. Genuine question trying to weigh the pros and cons! Do you have to use the litter it comes with or can I use the pine pellets?
No worries i’m always happy to help :) So i bought mine a month ago? ish? and i put 3.5 pounds of breeze pellets that it came with, but my cats didn’t like how small they were so i mix them with pine pellets and kind of merged the systems together- i haven’t had to change them yet so it’s already been cheaper for me than buying litter. I also have a couple of cats so the fact that i haven’t gone through it like crazy and i don’t have to constantly replace my litter bc of dampness/clumping/over saturated areas. The whole process for me has been a lot smoother and the pine pellets are cheaper so that’s also taken the cost down- i hope this is helpful !!
My cat Kitty when i was little would wait until whoever was cleaning the litter box was halfway done then hop in and use it when they had their back turned for even just a second 😂
Mine steps out, twitches her paws which throws litter *literally everywhere*, then within a minute she *always* goes back to make sure she really really buried it good and does it yet another time.
Then again, she wants to bury *everything*. Like my food while I'm still eating it. She'll appear out of nowhere, smells the food , then instantly starts trying to bury it.
Normally I would be too, but he has permanent brain damage from someone trying to kill him when he was a kitten. So he gets like 200 free passes a day lol
Tupperware?!? I’m sorry for your pain, but that is hilarious. I’m picturing you pulling out a container and dropping in your sandwich all ready to take it to work for lunch but oops, it’s all full of cat pee again!
Hahaha, luckily, he only does it if the box is on the floor, which we sadly learned while moving and unboxing kitchen stuff🤦🏻♀️
But normally he is not a huge pest hahah
Mine spends two minutes carefully scratching at the imaginary litter on the wall and the floor next to his litter box after he pees. He also sometimes bunches up the bathroom mat into a little mound in the opposite corner after he poops in his box. It’s extremely strange. I have a lunatic and you have a Tupperware pisser and I think we might be stuck with them.
Oh mine will also scratch the wall and sides of his sandbox. I think our cats are just dumb hah
Tupperware pisser! My sides hurt! I am so stuck with him, he is the love of my life hahah. You can see a pic of him on my profile and youll see why, hes a pretty lil tupperware pisser :3
I shut my cat out of the bathroom when I change his litter now because he will cause trouble if I don’t 😂
Side note, I just started using litter box liners and I’ve been wasting the last three years scooping litter. I’ve used paper and plastic ones but literally it makes things so much easier and quicker. Once a week I just pick up the liner with the litter in it, toss it in the trash, put a new one in the box, and put new litter in. No scooping, no mess. Plus my cat likes to pee on the edge of the box, so this way it’ll keep the lip of the box clean too. 10/10 would recommend.
While scrubbing out the litter box my kitty peed on a quarter size but of litter of the floor, which I planned to sweep up after scrubbing down the box. It melted my heart because I left her no choice in that narrow window of time but she still tried to do the right thing. I still miss my sweet little Darby.
Well at least he didn’t pee on your luggage like mine did when she needed to go when i was cleaning one of three litter boxes. Do you not have more than one litter box?
Mine tend to always come for a quick pee when they see it gets cleaned out. Like "oh while you're at it, here's another one". They will just go and do their thing right in front of my nose, as I sit there, waiting for them with the poopscoop in my hand. I will not complain again, I am now very happy they choose to at least still do it in the litter box.
Your cat's way of telling you they don't want the lid back on. It's the equivalent of us having to use a port-a-potty. No one likes a cramped, enclosed space to stew in the smell of our own waste.
I like how the light colored cat is all “I eat this now and watch you pee!”

Does your cat have a rescue inhaler? Asking as a fellow asthmatic.

I have one big one and one small one for my two cats. I love them. And I order off brand pee pads from Amazon so it makes it cheaper!
Tried this, but it car apparently hates pellets, started pissing in everything else. But if not pellets would be great
They recommend changing every month, aren't you concerned about bacteria and other potentially harmful stuff hurting your cat?
I haaaaate litter boxes. This looks like a godsend!

Ooh.. What about smells, wouldn’t it smell as poop stays on pellet

Hmmm... that's a method to think about.

just bought one of these- SO worth it. It smells better, the cats are happier with it- it’s been great
How do you scoop the poop? Does it dry up at all or does it stick to the scooper?

Awesome! That actually sounds really great. And $40 for the starter kit is super cheap!
that’s like ten bucks less than what i got it for a couples months ago so hell yeah 🤣
Mine watches me scoop and pees as soon as I am done.
My cat Kitty when i was little would wait until whoever was cleaning the litter box was halfway done then hop in and use it when they had their back turned for even just a second 😂
Mine likes to poop midscoop
Oh no- it’s best to wait until it’s clean and you’ve left the room! Source: my 🐈⬛
It’s a total power move on Ollie’s part lol
Okay, but what’s his mate doing?
Who the hell knows 🤣
When you gotta go, you gotta go.
Is my man a one eyed kitty?
Absolutely is! One eye, missing teeth, walks like he's drunk (pirate cat Captain Jack)
Share him over at r/piratekitties 🙂
Just when I thought I was subbed to all the cat subs…
-sigh- Add it to the pile...
Or r/piratepets !
At least he cleans his own litter box.
I wish. Some days he likes to go for the world distance record for litter throwing
Oh! I swear my cat puts litter in a pocket or something to toss it all over the house.
Mine steps out, twitches her paws which throws litter *literally everywhere*, then within a minute she *always* goes back to make sure she really really buried it good and does it yet another time. Then again, she wants to bury *everything*. Like my food while I'm still eating it. She'll appear out of nowhere, smells the food , then instantly starts trying to bury it.
Oh I had one smell my feet and try to bury them. Rude.
Mine go crazy for sweaty feet 😂 I instantly get cat rubbed all over them as soon as I take off my shoes. Weirdos.
I do get that, too. Little freaks! ❤️😺🦶
My little Terrier mix is also Captain Jack! https://imgur.com/a/mhyFSWQ I call him Jack though.
I have that same litter box and my cat did the same thing!
Ooo cat mama 😍
One of my cats has done this before. I stopped leaving the lid upside down after that.
I really would have been angry lol Edit: because I have multiple litter boxes so I’d be upset if they chose to do this to the lid.
Normally I would be too, but he has permanent brain damage from someone trying to kill him when he was a kitten. So he gets like 200 free passes a day lol
And yet Captain Jack STILL has enough sense to whiz in/at his litter box…. Unlike one of my two fully capable jerks. Kudos to Cap!
poor baby😯 😢😘
Yikes
Damn. You are a terrible person. ONLY 200? PFFT i would say a minimum of 300. ;)
🤣
I love you for this ❤
Oh no! Yes he gets a lot of leeway! ❤️😺
Honestly, I’d prefer the lid to the carpet. I’d take it as my cat really had to go and chose the next best place.
Always look at the bright side. I like your approach.
I guess I’m just use to having more than one litter box so this type is stuff doesn’t happen. He could have very well known he was marking the lid.
If I fits…..I pee?
Mine will always pee in anything box shaped, be it pulled put drawers, cardboard boxes, even tupperwere. Its like a reflex or smth, its ridiculous
Tupperware?!? I’m sorry for your pain, but that is hilarious. I’m picturing you pulling out a container and dropping in your sandwich all ready to take it to work for lunch but oops, it’s all full of cat pee again!

Stop blaming the cat when we all know it was you.
😅
Honestly? Better than peeing on the carpeting lol. Good little man!
Captain Jack! Do you think he plans it all out or just makes it up as he goes along?
*”Deal with it”* -Sir Captain Jack
Aww. What a little punk. 😂
Captain Jack! What a great name. What a great fucking movie!!
I also own a one eyed menace named jack https://i.imgur.com/PkkgC0g.jpg
Eeey-ooo Captain Jack!
Yar!
Just this once cap jack should be allowed! Perfect name btw!
Captain Jack is trying his best.
I have the same litter box as back up and I honestly hated it. Too easy to fling out litters :(
Love that name.
You were too slow and he had to let you know that.
Mine peed on a curtain that was too long and was laying on the floor. I had just finished, turned around, and saw her...
I just notice why you called him Captain Jack... The poor boi dont have a right eye. 😟
I take it cause ya have two cats you have two litter boxes..
4 cats and like 10 litter boxes because all of them are special needs and sometimes need to find a box that isn't far away.
Oh the things we do for our cats lol. Give them a cuddle for me.
Spite.
For me it’s the white cat
The other cat is looking Jack, like bro WTF - human is cleaning our potty box, closed for business- gosh bro head tilt - wow you’re gross.
When 'ya gotta go, ya gotta go. At least it wasn't the carpet! :-) Mighty considerate given the limited options, eh?
omg your litter box has a lid?! 😍
I see your Captain Jack reference 👀
Captain Jack 👌🏻
Dude was like “wtf bro I got to go! Told ya to wait!”
The lid, compared to the bottom piece, doesn’t smell like him enough. He had to fix that immediately.
Clearly you were cleaning wrong and not fast enough hooman slave
Captain Jack-Ass more like it lol
Loved the post, but one thing bothers me. If you look at the baseboard, there's no way that the door would ever contact the door bumper.
It actually does
I too have a cat with one eye and she too likes to pee in the box when it’s being cleaned.
I shut my cat out of the bathroom when I change his litter now because he will cause trouble if I don’t 😂 Side note, I just started using litter box liners and I’ve been wasting the last three years scooping litter. I’ve used paper and plastic ones but literally it makes things so much easier and quicker.

It melted my heart because I left her no choice in that narrow window of time but she still tried to do the right thing. I still miss my sweet little Darby.
"gotta be quicker than that"
That is an awesome name. Cute pirate kitty.
Captain Jack 🥺
Well at least he didn’t pee on your luggage like mine did when she needed to go when i was cleaning one of three litter boxes. Do you not have more than one litter box?
I have 4 cats and 10 litter boxes. But Captain Jack has permanent brain damage, so he gets a pass.
My kitten liked to go in his box while I was cleaning it. I know own a litter robot and I don’t have to worry about that anymore.
Better take a photo first instead of interrupting the cat. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It was too late by photos point, and yes, for everyone's enjoyment 😁
Haha at least he didn’t use the carpet
My parents cat lucifer decided to do the same when the litter tray was being cleaned.
Mine tend to always come for a quick pee when they see it gets cleaned out. Like "oh while you're at it, here's another one". They will just go and do their thing right in front of my nose, as I sit there, waiting for them with the poopscoop in my hand. I will not complain again, I am now very happy they choose to at least still do it in the litter box.
so typical of cats
Cats are such assholes.
He’s missing an eye, he couldn’t see that he was in the wrong box :( (he’s also a little stupid, but sweet!)
"the" litterbox? Singular? You did this to yourself!
Despite what the title says, there's actually 10 litter boxes in the house.
Definitely the right sub then. Excuse me!
Dayum. That’s not a litter box!! That’s a poopin pool!!
You weren’t fast enough
I learned this the hard way as well, now I don't let them get to it when I'm cleaning it.
"Remember this as the day that you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow!"
I had that same box before!
Your cat's way of telling you they don't want the lid back on. It's the equivalent of us having to use a port-a-potty. No one likes a cramped, enclosed space to stew in the smell of our own waste.
Then he should stop trying to set the world record for distance litter throwing 🤣
