I like to give my cats lots of hugs and kisses. Recently I switched to crystal silica litter which supposedly lasts for 30 days. Is it sanitary to leave urine in a box for 30 days. Wouldn't there be bacterial and other microbial growth in there that may not be hygienic?

Here's the point. Your litter will be good for 30 days only if you scoop out daily what is clumped up. This is true of ANY clumping or super-absorbing litter. Maintenance is still required. A dirty litterbox can cause a cat to not use it or even worse, stress can cause all sorts of problems including renal failure and death from urine toxicity. Trust me, it happened to me. Now I still use the clumping litter, but I keep up on the scooping!

the problem that i had with that kind of liter was the urnine soaking in the bottom of the litter box. i don't endorse that stuff. i switched back to the clay liter and my cats love me for it now.

there is no more maybe less then scooping litter. I have been using it for years and it is the greatest stuff.

i would switch from the cilica crystals because if your cat swallows any of it it can cause severe dehydration.

They are very hygenic.
