"Special Kitty"; good & bad

My wife & I have two cats, we have been buying "Special Kitty" brand regular litter in the red 25# bags for years.

I started buying it because it was inexpensive, but then realized it was far superior to other litters we had tried (both expensive & inexpensive).

This week we moved into a new home in a new town. My wife went to the local Wal Mart & came home with "Special Kitty" superior clumping formula in the 16# jug, to make long story short, it is quite possibly the worst product we have ever spent our hard earned money on.

True to it's label it does clump, when you try to scoop it, it's like trying to scoop hard cement.

The label say's to pour in enough litter to have 2 inches or more on the bottom. that night when I went to scoop it I realized that was not enough.

I filled the box to 4 inches deep (most of the jug!).

The next day when I went to scoop most of the liter was one big mass. Our cats noticed this as well & decided to pee just outside this box of concrete, leaving me with nice mess to clean up.

I have never written a review about a product before, but I was so angry I did a search on Google to see if I could find a web site for "Special Kitty" to let them know what a poor product this is.

What amazes me is that their regular "cheap" litter is, in my opinion, an excellent product far superior to anything I have tried, including the most expensive litters out there.
