Are the blue crystal flushable? I am thinking about toilet training my cat and was wondering if I could flush these in the toilet.

No -- they are silica crystals, which are not soluble or biodegradable. You'd be asking for a plugged-toilet problem. ...Steve N.

safe for whom, the cat or the skitter critter? The cat will be fine, the skitter critter on the other hand, you might have trouble finding it again. Somewhere in my house are two from the first batch and one from the second batch. Occasionally I find one that I had given up on when looking for a current one. Then we have a couple going at the same time. Currently have one in hiding again. WHERE does he put these things? Sure likes them though. I'm tempted to open up batch #3 and put another on into service. I like having more than one at a time.

I don't have an official answer from the company but flushing a couple down with the waste should be fine. I would avoid dumping the entire box down the toilet. However the couple that get stuck should flush just fine according to reviews I read on a pet store web site. I avoid it all together because and just bag it we are on a new septic system and I have a picky husband:)

That's what I did initially but it you leave the pee sitting in the litter box for a long time, it's gonna smell badly. Because the pee always goes down to the bottom of the box and the sand does not clump, I had trouble cleaning it. I had to mix the crystal with another cat sand product (Arm & Hammer) in order let pee sand to clump and reduce pee odor.

Your question uses the word "on," did you mean "in"? If so, then yes, scoop the box, put it in the toilet and flush. This is meant to be an alternative to throwing away pet waste in the trash, which will eventually be buried in a landfill for 500 years before breaking down.If you had an alternative method of training your cat to use the toilet, this is not a good product for placing inside the bowl of the toilet. If you place 5 pounds of this litter inside your commode, it will soak up all of the water available, until it becomes approximately a 20 pound clump. That would be bad, to say the least.

I can't say for sure, but my understanding us that you should never flush cat poop down a toilet due to the toxoplasma. I would think all cat litter is not okay on septic systems, but you can double check with the company to be sure.

I tried crystals -- bad idea. The machine sifts out the solid poop just fine, and the crystals absorb the urine like they're supposed to. BUT, the crystals shifting as they were sifted was a constant source of low level noise, and the crystals got caught in the moving parts and were broken up, which was horrendously noisy, and most likely an undue strain on the motor. I'm pretty sure using the crystals caused the motor to give out early, as the second unit I purchased (and didn't use crystals in) has lasted much longer.

As far as I know no they are not. The are pretty thick and I wouldnt intentionally flush them. That being said, one has fallen in the toilet and I have flushed it.

I try to wipe it down daily. Usually it's just the small inner ledge that gets dirty, not the part that the cat stands on. I've never seen any urine spray from outside the toilet, but occasionally a little piece of poo here and there (I have no idea why, though). No matter what, it's way better than cleaning a cat box once the cat completes the training.

I have an automatic kitty litter box and use the crystals. I use the crystals that they recommend, and they are fairly small. I have bought others and they are a lot chunkier and did not work as well. My cat has no problems with the crystals .

No it is not flushable. My cats did not like this. I only bought it once. The bag I got had been cut open and stapled shut. And if I recall, it was expensive.

Do not flush, really even when wipes are called flushable, don't. But these do not pretend to be flushable. They are thicker than the average wipe.

Mine came with some sanitizing(?) crystals that turn the water blue and take care of odor. Even if you just add some water, it should be fine if you change the water every day. You might even try adding some cat litter.

Yes. You remove the solids and stir the crystals a little so the pee isn't all in one spot. The crystals are pretty good at supressing the odor. I get about three weeks out of my crystal litter but I use Fresh Step not Just the Crystals. I Found that JUst the Crystals did not do as good a job as Fresh Step.

Yes, it works fine. The crystals work to dry the poop before it is pushed into the "storage area" so it can stunk for a while, but after it gets moved it is the same as if the cat buried it. You can adjust the time that the box waits before "pushing."

If you don't clean it regularly yes. But it isn't nearly as bad as other fountains. Actually it was my favorite cat fountain thus far. The blue light really mesmerized them.
