It’s a classic cat-tale–Enviro Girl’s feline is pooping all over the house, kicking up cat litter all over the basement, acting ornery about her litter box. Enviro Girl has tried all the classic tricks–clean out the litter box, change the food from dry to wet, banish Lady Vi to the basement or outside. Finally she conceded it was time to buy a new litter box, and while at the store, Enviro Girl noticed a new cat litter for sale.
Enviro Girl HATED the cat litter she was using–it had a strong perfumey odor, was terribly dusty and seemed to kick all over the floor in nasty little gritty sheets. Swheat Scoop proclaimed itself a natural wheat litter–wheat? Wheat?
With nothing to lose at this point, she grabbed a box. Swheat Scoop promised to eliminate odors and not have a chemical-perfumey smell. It would clump, produce less dust, be safe for the cat and be 100% biodegradable. Biodegradable? Yes, even compostable (after scooping). AND Swheat Scoop is sewer and septic safe. Which means no more wrapping clumps in newspaper and throwing in the trash. Sure, it cost a bit more than the other cat litter, but if it did all it promised, it was totally worth $2 extra to Enviro Girl.
The verdict? Lady Vi is using her litter box once more. The room does not smell because her waste is flushed and other odors are absorbed through the wheat enzymes. Wheat’s a renewable resource and by composting the leftover litter, the environmental footprint of cat litter is nearly ZERO. Enviro Girl also liked how the box was not lined, meaning NO litter was wasted while pouring it out into the litter box. 
Check out the Swheat Scoop site to learn where you can buy Swheat Scoop Natural Wheat Litter–Enviro Girl bought her box at Target, but it’s also sold at PETCO and PETsMART.
*Enviro Girl bought Swheat Scoop Natural Wheat Litter of her own volition, the Swheat Scoop people have not offered her any free product or other compensation for this endorsement.
Does Yesterday’s News work for you? It’s biodegradable and made from recycled newspapers. I buy it, but I use it for traction on the ice in winter. My rabbits use pine and cedar bedding-style litter.
It’s funny that you posted this ~ I just purchased my first box of this litter a couple weeks ago! We haven’t run out of the pine litter we are trying, but I don’t like it and can’t wait to try this instead! We loved “The World’s Best Cat Litter”, which I think is also made of wheat (and much more expensive than Swheat Brand).
Nice! I’m glad your kitty is back on track, EG!
As long as we’re on the subject…for all y’all cat people out there…do not underestimate your cat’s potential to learn to use the toilet!
Mine does.

That would mean *never* having to buy cat-litter or other litter-related products…
