Purina Tidy Cats Litter Box System, BREEZE System Starter Kit Litter Box, Litter Pellets & Pads

AMAZING. I wish they had developed this system 40 years ago. No dust, no tracking, no smell, easy. The cost is worth every penny. I tried a different set of pellets, but they changed the color of my cats pee and I became alarmed. The pellets are a bit heavy to dispose of, so I’m going to use them on the perimeter of my peony garden and the latent smell might deter critters. And it would look nice as a border.

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.

This is like a THREE WOLF MOON t-shirt of litter boxes, except for real! This system is AWESOME and has changed my life. It is tidy, more sanitary, way less stinky than any of the systems I've tried, very easy to manage, well-designed, and cost-effective. I've tried just about everything under the sun, and this one is my favorite. My cats track about 3-4 pellets a day and, consequently, this box involves no annoying "sweeping around the litter box" routine. It's true that it smells right after they go number 2, but after about 20 minutes, that smell goes away and there is no noxious ammonia smell filling the house, even when I walk in the door for the first time! I've been using the same batch of pellets for three weeks and I still can't smell them. I scoop out the solids when I see them (1-2 times a day), which is way easier and quicker than scooping big giant, gloppy chunks of clumped clay litter. My cats started using it the first day and all I did was put it in the same spot and put some waste from their old box into it! This Breeze system is WELL WORTH the small investment. The money you will spend on the kit will make up for itself in about 1 month of not having to buy standard litter (or quicker depending on how pricey your normal litter is) and, given that, if the box itself ever wears out and you have to replace it, it's STILL cost-effective because it comes with a month of supplies for 1 cat! Also, this may be different depending on your cat(s), but I am getting by just fine with one box for my two cats, the pads last about 5 days (they are about a dollar each on Amazon if you get 10 4-packs) and you have to get close to them (like within a foot) to notice a smell if your cats are fixed, and the pellets can go a whole month with my two cats without approaching the potential grossness of clump and scoop boxes after about a week. Tidy Cats doesn't recommend that, of course, but this box is still a good investment even if your standards are higher than mine. ;) I see some reviews on here complaining about how the Breeze system deals with watery poo and poo smells. I'll just say it is far easier to deal with the occasional mess than to deal with a crappy design daily. Also, if your cat has watery poo or really lingeringly stinky poo, it's likely because of the food your feeding him/her or because of a medical issue that should be addressed regardless. I feed my cats Natural Choice and I can't remember the last time they had diarrhea. Unlike a few people's cats, my cats did not try to eat the pellets. If you're worried about it (as I was - one of my cats loves to eat weird things) and still want to try this, I would recommend buying a bag of pellets first and mixing them with your regular litter (building the "not food" association) and observing. The only thing that would make this box any cooler is if the pads/pellets were biodegradable. Given that, I've considered trying pea gravel with the pads. My litter box saga: I have two indoor cats and abhor the chore of dealing with their litter box (like I think any sane person would) and I have tried many, many approaches over the years and none of them have worked to my satisfaction until I tried the Breeze. Here's a run down. Standard clump and scoop litter box: This works OKAY as long as you scoop daily. However, the clumps are large and hard to remove, the litter is not cheap and starts to smell quite ammonia-y regardless of scooping diligence within a few days (even with the pricey litters), the box gets very messy very quickly, and it always bothered my back. Sifting litter box with clumping litter: Nice for the first few days of fresh litter, but the clumping litter clogs the grate and if you're like me your back will hurt after you spend a few minutes trying to shake it vigorously enough to go through the grate. Also very hard to clean and messy. Standard litter box with crystal litter: Great at first, but the crystal litter does not last as long as they claim - it begins to smell VERY ammonia-y after about a week and a half. With the extra price, I did not find it to be a good trade off. Automatic litter boxes (the leading brands at the time): These are an overpriced nightmare. The noise and motion scared my cats and even with the time delay on these systems, the rake becomes obstructed and ineffective within about two days. Plus, they are a huge hassle to clean with all the moving parts, they get quite gross quite quickly, and they are ridiculously expensive. Omega Paw box with clumping litter: I LOVED this box until the plastic began to loosen and warp after about 6 months and lots of dirty litter started to fall onto my floor every time I rolled it over. Too expensive to replace. Never tried crystal litter in it, but if you use non-clumping litter, you might as well just scoop the solids yourself - it's not that difficult by comparison. Also, a covered box in my opinion is like Schrodinger's box when it comes to cleanliness. You kinda know it's unpleasant in there, but you have to open the box to find out! Catit Design SmartSift: I really wanted to love this box especially after dropping $80 on it, but it wasn't so smart as it turns out. Even after I modified it with a rubber gasket from the hardware store because my cats were urinating too high and it was ending up on the moving parts under the hood, I was still finding urine and bits of dirty litter under there. It was far too difficult to keep reasonably clean. UPDATE (10/2/2016): I don't review products very often, but this one is a goodie. I still have the very same box and I still love it. Box is still in good shape and works just as well as when new. This is one of the best products on the market for cat owners - actually changed my life, lol. It's just one of those things that's so simple and perfect, you don't know why anyone ever did it differently. I hope they don't ruin it by raising the price on the refills too much, but so far so good. One thing I will say is that it probably isn't as good for indoor outdoor cats that use the restroom mainly in the great outdoors. This is because the pads really should be changed on a regular basis, and it can get unnecessarily expensive if they're hardly being used. UPDATE (3/28/2018): Still wondering why everyone else treats litter boxes like rocket science when this design is so simple and so effective. I still have the first litter box I bought. I bought a second, updated one recently so both my cats could have their own. The first one is holding up well after years of use. Only non-issue with it is that the guard pops up on the front a little, which has essentially no effect because there still isn't a gap between the tray and the guard. It has developed a couple of calcium (?) build-up type stains in the tray, but still looks amazingly clean for a 4 year old litter box. I'm glad the Breeze has some market competition for the pads and the pellets, because it keeps the price down on the original products and if they kept raising the price, I'd make my own.

Go buy this! Do it NOW! I was hesitant to purchasing because I thought “hmmm will kitty use it?” “Hmmm will it be worth the money?” So my main concerns were would my cat adjust and will it be worth it. As far as kitty adjusting I semi-followed the acclimation instructions provided. I left the old litter box dirty and put the breeze box close by. I also took a turd from her old box and threw it in the new box to encourage her. So she peed in the box within a day. But no poops. The old box (which I stopped cleaning after adding the breeze) kept getting used regularly but not the new. A few random pees but no poops. So after about a week I added in some pinto beans (more on that below) and then took her old box away completely and crossed my fingers she’d use the breeze box for poops and pees. Well she did! Without the old box she went right to the breeze, no accidents or poops in random places like some reviews mentioned during transition. Ok so pinto beans. I read some other reviews saying this was a good alternative to the pellets. I didn’t really try the pellets by themselves so don’t know. But the pellets with the pinto beans mixed in seems good. No problems for me. I will say if you chose to only use pellets it’s kinda skimpy with the one bag they give you. Like your cat might feel they don’t have enough to scratch around with. Which is why I went ahead and added beans in early on. My cat seems to like them fine. So pros of this system I’ve seen so far are 1) really this does not smell. Far less smelly than the old box. And I should note that I didn’t change the pad right away. I waited about a week and a half because the first few days she really wasn’t using it. 2) Waaay less messy. No tiny trails of litter! My old regular litter box I had in a big plastic tote type container that she would jump in and out of to use simply to prevent litter tracking, and a rug outside the box to catch litter. It still made a mess. A spare pellet or bean might escape this box like once every three days and that’s it! 3) space saving! I’ve eliminated the need for the tote to contain litter and I don’t need the rug anymore either. So an overall much smaller footprint. 4) easier! Cleaning is really just a scoop a day now for me. She poops once a day I scoop it out. The pee pad only needs once a week changing. That’s far less work to me. This weirdly actually feels fun to clean now. Not like messy crumbs of litter half clumped falling everywhere like I used to deal with. As far as pee pad goes, I haven’t had to rotate the tray, I haven’t had pee spill over the side. No issues. Change the pad snd it’s maintenance free for a week. Cons... I really can’t think of any other than a cost standpoint. Although truly I don’t know if this will end up being any more expensive in the long run. The pee pads last long, even though they are slightly pricey. I’ve read a lot of reviews stating to buy the amazon brand pads which I plan to after I run out of the starter pack. With pinto beans instead of pellets that’s really super cheap. So besides the cost of the box initially I don’t think this is going to be much more expensive than buying traditional litter. Also FYI I discovered you can get a coupon on tidy cat breeze website for seven bucks off so something to keep in mind... didn’t find this out until after I bought mine but I don’t even care because it’s already made life way easier. So just go buy it. It’s worth it I promise.

👍 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.
