Product is great but new packaging by A&H is not, November 17, 2011

This cat litter is the best I have found. I am a foreign service officer and use to purchase it while at my previous post. I had extra boxes shipped to my next post and while that shipment arrived (6 months till I got settle at the next post) I purchased more cat litter for my cats.Now that I have settled at my new post and can look at the previous boxes and the new, I noticed two differences: 1) The new packaging no longer places the litter in a plastic bag inside the litter box; and 2) the box top now has a handle. While the handle may make it easier to transport the box, not having a plastic bag holding the litter inside the box lets the litter spill out from the seams very easily.I love the product, but I will no longer purchase it while in this packaging because all five boxes I have purchased to arrive at my new post have arrived with the litter spilling out of the seams, making a mess of the mailroom as well as losing some of the product.

However for something that literally gets defecated on and thrown out, litter is pretty pricey. Yet no one wants their house to have that "crazy cat lady" odor. I only have one cat but in my single days I had a LOT more (working at a vet will do that for you) and what type of litter to use, what was safest for your cat, what covered the smell, etc. has been an ongoing conundrum.Also lugging the containers home is just such a pain. Unless you want to buy it once a week you have to carry at least 20 pounds from the car to the house.Luckily Amazon and their wonderful Subscribe and Save program have simplified my life! Someone else does the lugging, I get the price break of buying the larger container so with the savings I can buy the Arm &...
