Can someone tell me why you wouldnt just use the Breeze litter box as is with the tray but just use the wood pellets instead of the ones they come with? Why modify the bottom? I just bought one and feel terrible throwing away the bottom part with the drawer. Thanks!

For anyone still doing this - I find it 10x easier to get a litterbox where there's two trays on top of eachother & the top tray has the sifting holes. Then you can literally just pick the whole thing up once a day and shake it for 15 seconds and you're done - no need to pour between two boxes and there's still no smell. The bottom tray could last up to a week depending on how many cats you have.

So far, easy to maintain, no noticeable smell, and no more little chunks of clay litter pellets scattered everywhere. Thanks for cluing me into this much better way!

I don't know about some people but for me, I was hoping the wood pellet litter option would be a great solution compared to the clumping kitty litter that I was using but it's not as good as I was hoping unfortunately. At least not from an efficiency standpoint. From a financial standpoint the wood pellets are about half the cost in comparison to what I was using previously so I'm all for trying to use the wood pellets but so far, I have not been impressed based on my experience over the last week. The reason being, the cats do not always cover their poop and as a result it can just sit on top of the pine pellets and it smells. If the litter box is in a smaller room and you have multiple cats, this can obviously be unpleasant. In my case, I have 12 full grown cats and I have 3 regular sized clear storage totes that are a typical 58 quart capacity. Mine just happen to be a Sterlite brand that are 12" x 23 1/2" x 17". I was previously using the brand Special Kitty clumping litter that was $12.88 from Walmart for a 40 lb box which actually lasts me about a week between three different totes and sometimes I can get a week and a half to two weeks out of it depending on how much the cats use the litter boxes and also I use some baby powder which helps with the moisture and the smell at the same time usually though, I go through a 40 lb box every week. This is actually the best clumping litter I have found for the price based on how good it is for clumping purposes but also for the amount you get and it smells good as well. There are other brands that have similar clumping litter but they are usually two to three times the cost and only come in 20 pound containers or smaller usually. In my opinion, this is probably the best stuff for the price (for clumping litter) and it actually smells very good. By comparison, I can get a 40 lb bag of the wood pellets for $5.99 from a local Menards which is basically a home improvement store like Lowe's or Home Depot but is even cheaper for pretty much everything. It's actually just as big as far as the size of each store for the most part and is normally a chain that is located in the middle to Upper Midwest area so a lot of people in other areas of the country may have not heard of this chain. Anyway, the problem I run into that I think a lot of other people have probably ran into with the pellet litter option is that it's difficult to sift the cat poop out without also sifting out the pellets at the same time. As an example, if the cat's poop is hard and round then it's not so bad but if for some reason they are having a little bit kind of runny poop then the poop will sometimes obviously stick together with the wood pellets. But, the problem is, when you are sifting out the sawdust and trying to separate the sawdust from the wood pellets, then the cat's poop clumps are going to stay behind as well which makes it difficult to remove in an efficient manner because then you have to take another step to remove the cat poop. It's not nearly as quick as using a typical kitty litter scoop to sift through the wood pellets like you could just having the clumped cat poop or cat pee stay behind and the rest of the kitty litter sift through the kitty litter sifter into a litter box or tote in typical clumping litter situations. So, I am looking for a better solution to try to figure out how to make this process go even faster with the wood pellets. Before anybody comments on the amount of totes that I am using compared to the amount of cats that I have, please refrain from commenting because I'm well aware that a lot of people's opinions are that you are supposed to have at least one litter box for each cat and sometimes 2 litter boxes per cat because it has been said that some cats like to urinate in one box and poop in the other so they don't like to use the same box for the same bathroom break. I'm aware of this. But, I'm also aware that a lot of other people use only a few litter boxes when they have quite a few cats. I am unfortunately cleaning my litter boxes regularly so it's not necessarily a fun task having to do this with this many cats but it is what it is. We all make our choices obviously. The other issue I'm aware that I am having an issue with is some of the cats having runny poop which I may or may not be able to fix unfortunately. Sometimes the poop is more runny but that's unfortunately because I may decide to be a naughty person and give them some of my human food which I know we are not supposed to do so I'm aware that this happens at certain times. Most of the time when the poop is runny, it's not too bad but it is bad enough that it's not necessarily desirable when trying to clean it out of the wood pellets. I have used numerous cat foods at the same time to try to give them options so that they could pick and choose what they would like and I know some people could try to make the argument that this is what's actually causing the problem because their diet is being changed because they have the option to switch between different cat foods but the reason I do this is because I believe there may be one or two of my cats that have a sensitive stomach or don't particularly care for some of the cat food that I leave so I can't just have one type of cat food out for all of my cats. If I do, then I don't believe some of my cats are eating as much and I don't want them to not eat as much so I would rather give them the option to eat the food that they like and deal with the consequences that way. Also, I do get them sensitive stomach food from Purina and hairball formula as well as other things from the brand Temptations and so on. And besides that, I do want to give them options so they do have options. Anyway, if somebody has a better suggestion of how to remove the cat poop from the pine pellets without having to take extra time and work to remove the poop when using a litter scoop, I would be interested to hear what that is. I'm also aware that we can make a sifter out of a screen that we could get at a hardware store so I get that this is also an option as well but those screens allow the pellets to go through as well in some cases. So, I'm not sure that that is the best option either.

I’m currently in the transition from clay to pine so I can’t really say if I’ll have these issues or not just yet, but to make pine work as efficiently as possible a good sifting litter box is a 100% must and no better one then actually DIY as most on the market are just to expensive or simply to small, as for the smell unfortunately many cats tend to not cover up the poop on pine as they would on clay litters so it’s going to unfortunately smell until cleaned or covered by the cats as for when cats have runny poop I heard it’s best to let it dry or simply throw it out with whatever pellets it touched you can also use the bag over your hand method instead of a scooper, but Amazon also sells some good scooper that have the cutouts just wide enough to let the pellets fall through

I use , (EASY BEDDING PELLETS) PREMIUM PINE ,white bag that the horse race tracks use and it lasts 4 times longer than the tractor supply green bag bedding AND, all you gotta do is take out the poop and mix around the remains till you smell a slight ammonia smell which will be several weeks ( 10 cats in one room ) in a 32" x 15" tub.I have 2 tubs in one room and this system works well.The pine smell is activated real well with this name brand .That way your not throwing away good lets call it saw dust .
I've used the modified Breeze box system where I place puppy pee pads in the bottom tray and dispose of the pad & "sawdust" at the same time. This looks like a method where I could remove the pee pad and make the system less expensive. Thank you for this video!!
Life changing advice not kidding. Thank you miss.
Thank you so much! Im just trying it out today for the first time in my two cats took to it no problem. Can we flush the sawdust, as my litter is pretty close to the toilet?
I wouldn't recommend flushing it. That could cause some issues with your plumbing. Throwing it the garbage or compost is best.
you can compost the sawdust???
In my city, yes. They allow all pet waste in our city compost bins.
@@Megsop79 omg i was putting that in the garbage! lol good to know :D thank you!
Thank you. That sieving idea is great IL keep the cost down by using a Tesco bag with holes in it and another without holes on top of it hehe thanks again
Omg don’t do that haha take even longer I think Just shake the whole thing fast and simple
My cat won’t do number 2, only pee in the wood pellets. I tried 40-60 pellet and regular litter, but they will not poop in the wood pellet box 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you for the video demonstration!
That's pretty much exactly how I do it too, except for a Chihuahua.
Thank You so much after seeing this I will get rid of the dusty cat litter Thank You…
Not sure where you’re located in Canada (I’m in Toronto) but could you recommend a store that sells horse bedding? I would rather not buy the ones at Canadian Tire etc intended as fuel burning as most are not kiln treated and contain a pine resin that is toxic for cats. Thank you in advance!
