BREEZE Litter System: Long-Term Update and Results 

I've been using the Breeze litter system as per manufacturer's recommendation for over 4 years. I feel dumb after watching this video, but thank you for shedding light on a more efficient way to use it.

I love Rue!! I love the way you talk and treat her too!! She is your real baby. A very informative video, thank you so much!!!!

I never comment on DIY videos but thank you so much for your help!! I started last night and I can already tell I’m in love with this system because of how easy it is to clean and the cat genie is a big help

I love how excited you were about this litter and your cat! That inspired me to switch over.

Rue is awesome, her and the editing gave me a good chuckle. Thanks for the update.

Khloe transitioned to the pellet system very easily. I loaded her box with the pellets and scattered some used litter. She took to the pellets with no issues. I do not use the pads. Her "washroom" is located in my bathroom. So when she poos, I notice it and I scoop it out and flush it away. I empty her box (the bottom one) about every week to 10 days. I am amazed at the savings and the smell or lack of. With regular litter there was always an odor (clean litter or otherwise). Every once in a while she unloads a real stinker but for the most part, I don't notice the poop until I go to the washroom. I LOVE THIS LITTER SYSTEM! She still manages to scatter a few pellets out of the box but much easier to sweep up. Unfortunately, stepping on the pellets during a barefoot, middle of the night pee pee run is kind of like stepping on an itty nitty LEGO. But not quite as painful. 😀

This litter box system is the best. Been using for over a year. Only needed 2 bags of litter ($10) and still on the same box of pads and I have 2 cats. Seriously gets rid of cat piss/ammonia smell. Buy a GRILL BRUSH for it... hear me out before going "wtf", I use the bottom metal end to scoop the turds into my scooper instead of fishing for them. You can scoop just the turds instead of having to sift to get the pieces of the litter out which saves $. I scoop the "wet litter" with that too into the slits and then use the brush part of the grill brush to get anything stuck in the slits to fall down into the bottom. It works magically I'm so happy I figured that out. Try it! I also just use a trash can next to the litter box with a button to click for the lid to pop up, put a trash bag in it, and put the turds in there when I scoop until I'm ready to clean the whole thing. Which works if you dont want to splurge on a diaper genie.

Rue is so dang cute! Thank you for posting this update to your previous video, I really can't wait to get started on this system!

4:45 the pellets are SUPPOSED to go through the scoop. The idea is to just get the poops with the scooper, letting the pellets fall through (and actually I wish the slots were even bigger, because the pellets only barely fit through mine). It is rare for a poop to be smaller than the slats in the scoop, but it happens. I've been using the same setup, but more like the original cattery's video. I have a single Maine Coon. I am using the extra large pan underneath, and I only have to replace the pad every 2 weeks, which means the box I got will likely last me close to 4 years. I get my kiln-dried pellets at a nearby Walmart for about $6-$7, since I haven't otherwise found a nearby equestrian store (or Tractor Supply, as the cattery's video suggested). Best part of this is no smell at all, at least in my opinion. I do wish he tracked less of it out, but it's still not as bad as the old clumping litter.

I've been looking into using the pine litter, and I'm SO GLAD this popped up on my recommended videos! Rue is SO STINKIN CUTE!!! Good info, and I like you guys, too, of course ;-)

Thank you I was on the fence about the pine but since you cleared up that they are pine oil free I think I’m gunna try your system out!

Thanks for the tips! This will help me save money as a college student and keep my kitty happy 🐱 💖

Thanks for the video. I have been using this system for over a month now and I am very happy with how easy the system is. I dont use the tray portion of the box as you demonstated. Between The Cattery video and your video I was able to make a decision. The litter box system is well worth the cost. It is well made. I purchased the covered box since my cats are kickers. Speaking of kicking, the pellets are much easier and cleaner to sweep up.

I have the same system, and love it too. Strongly recommend 😊

This is such a great informative video! I learned so much! Thank you 😊

I saw that’ other ladies video on this system. I totally love this. I had a syfting litter box years ago and, we only had the lousy clay litter. Well we didn’t have that box long. Now I am sorry I tossed that box. Thank you for sharing your information and, view points on this. This is the best idea yet for a litter box system.🤗👍

yay! We transitioned about two weeks ago and the cats have taken to it just fine. We also used a diaper genie per your rec and it's felt less like a chore now because we dont always have to run to the trash -- if there are any concerns about smell, just empty out trash more frequently. We did have to get a second litter box to put in the basement and there is no space for sawdust to fall through, so if you want it to be easier -- just get the breeze system and then so phresh litter box for the sawdust.

Oh man that’s so helpful. I couldn’t find a litter box to put under the little rocks like the original ladies video showed. So I actually just gave up on the system. This is brilliant I’m gonna go rebuy this litter box I wish I had thrown my old one away. 😅👍

For anyone using a cat genie, you could also just use an old tidy cats bin lined with a garbage bag with the lid placed back on and take it out when it's full.

Yay I’m So happy I found your video! I had seen the other one and was dragging to get another pan for the bottom. I already have two breeze boxes. My kitten was brought to those. So he is used to the pellets.

Thank you so much guys!!! Very helpful...

Just got this system and was thinking about getting a new one to save more money so THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing these more affordable options!!!

Thanks to take your time to do this video very well done and good explanation.☺

I say literally all the time as well ! Its a very useful filler vs the others :) Love your video very informative and I am purchasing today!! Thanks post more ! Tips etc.

Thanks for the transition tips. My 9 mo kittens have not been excited about the idea of walking on the pellets.

Thanks for the help guys.

Excellent video!!! I have shared!!! Love the tweaks, and thorough demonstration. Your video on this system is THE BEST!! WELL DONE! 👍❤🐈

thanks for the tips... you give me a lot of goods ideas!😃

I ordered this today! Can’t wait!

Had watched the cattery lady’s video on this and just switched to pine pellets today, was using the regular breeze pellets and tray up til now. It felt AMAZING to throw those trays away once and for all, so liberating! 😅 no more stinky urine filled trays! Your idea of going diagonally with the pads is brilliant, I have some 21x21 pads left over and wanting to use those up, kinda small for this. But diagonal it’ll work so much better! Thanks!! Wolf, Calli, Lakota and Leo thanks you too 🥰 I had 2 cats, and just took in 2 more, so this is going to be so much cheaper, healthier, easier and less stinky!

Great video with lots of information!

I appreciate this video. My cat is going through renal failure and peeing alot so this might be the key to not having 2 gallons of water in the litter. Thanks.

Thank you I just learned some new things , loved your clear tips!❤

Excellent video. I've watched a few about this litter system and will now share THIS one as the definitive, streamlined one to watch. 😊

So helpful, thank you!

Good to give an update. Have been considering this option

THANK YOU! I just now bought this (and the litter pan from the 'other video') in anticipation of adopting another kitten (we have a 3yo). You have answered every question I had. (BTW... the Breeze has changed size. Both the open and hooded models are the same size and are too big to fit in the 'add on' pan)

Thanks for your tweaks to this system. I found that same video 2 years ago and followed the 2 tier system religiously. My biggest complaint was my baby girl peed on the side of the breeze tray and got caught on the lip of the bottom breeze tray, not dropping in the bottom puppy pad. I am finding clean up easier with putting the pads under the green tray.

You can get a water bottle mister and lightly spray the top layer of litter with water and it will be softer.

Thank you so much for the tip on how to get them used from clay to pine litter. I was looking forward to that. I have 3 cats 🐈 🐈🐈 YES! So I spend crazy amounts of 💵 on litter. But one of my cats (Winter) is filling a complain every time because of the texture. And I didn’t know what to do, I didn’t want to go cold turkey because I was afraid of him peeing around my house. So great video. Thanks again 👍🏻😉

Im so glad I found you. Finding a box that fit the bottom is very discouraging so I kinda gave up right there and went with the expensive way. Although I learn that rewashed and recharged the pellet can make a bag of pellets last 3 times longer.

For anyone that was intrigued but the diaper genie, they have litter genies. Same concept but meant for cats and a lot cheaper than a diaper genie if you can't find a used one.

We use actual nappy bags for our cat poo, instead of the dog poo bags. We find they are cheaper per bag and a bonus, they are slightly scented.

What are the measurments of the new pan for bottom? Trying to find and I cant find one anywhere

How do you replace the bottom, and where did you get that pan you put under the bottom?

What do you do with the green sifting tray when you have to take it out and clean the bottom tray out? Is there a clean tray that you keep separately so that you don’t put the nasty sifting tray straight on the ground?

Can the pine pellets be used with the new breeze XL?

What is the bottom pan that it is sitting in?

I cant find ez equine pellets near me is their others that are safe?

great follow up - thank you. I will try spritzing the pellets and also mixing them into the current litter. That never occurred to me. I guess because they are so dissimilar. Thank you again.

Wow this was EXTREMELY helpful! We just got a kitten from the shelter and we’ve never owned a cat before. We just got this system because we heard it was very good, however, the pads and litter pellets are extremely expensive for the long run! Thank you for the tips and also, beautiful sphynx!

Ahhhhdorable. Great video!

I have a litter genie. I never thought to put normal bags in it!

Do you use a different bottom box or is that the box that already is apart of the system?

What a beautiful cat

I find the puppy pads don't work as well as the breeze pads to control odor. So I keep the breeze pads but do replace the pellets with navy beans, not as cheap as the pine pellets but much more gentle on the kitty's paws, work like a charm!

Where’d you get the different bottom pan? Looks like it fits perfectly...

We use this system for our 5 cats I do change the piddle pads about every third day

Rather than use a cat genie and have yet more plastic to buy and put in the landfill, I have always used my dog's biodegradable poo bags, which then go directly into the outdoor garbage bin (we have the big ones the trash truck picks up weekly). Also, I think it will be easy to dump the sawdust and clean out the bottom of the collection pan, so I'm skipping the puppy pads altogether. The sustainability issue - and the dust that got all over the baseboards and toilet tank - pushed me to finally change to a more sustainable system. Less money, less dust, better for my cat, better for the earth - big win! Currently we're using finely ground, kiln dried pine sawdust sold as horse bedding. It's inexpensive, but I change it more often than I would need to change the pellet sawdust. It's not a bad system, but I do dump the whole litter box every 5 days or so. But now that she's used to wood, I'm going to gradually add the pellets to transition her to the pellets. I didn't think she'd take to the pellets very easily and she's an old kitty, so I'm trying to make it as easy a transition for her as I can make it. Thanks for a very informative and entertaining video! (p.s. what does the tattoo say? I couldn't make it out sideways LOL

I use a top entry litter box for my cats since I have dogs and an open litter box is a no no. So I have been using pellets, scooping the poop everyday, and then every few days I will dump the pellets into a litter sifter to collect the pee dust, then pour the whole pellets back into the top entry box. It's an extra step but so much more worth it compared to using traditional cat litter that was much harder to scoop out pee and poop everyday. I also have a litter genie I scoop the poo into and the pee dust.

I am thinking about changing to this type litter system, I have a cat that I rescued from my local shelter, she was declawed in the front, I have read comments on other breeze litter systems such as yours not to use this system with a declawed cat is that true? How long did it take your cat to transfer over?

I’m using pine pellets and a sifter box. Works well

Thank you for this video! Where can I find the white, curved-edge lower litter box that you use here? It fits perfectly under the Breeze system.

Do you have to use that box. It seems like a deeper one would be cleaner

Great Thanks

Brilliant.

Those diaper genie are gross. Take it from someone who has to enter other people's residences...... We can smell it....as soon as we enter it smells like diaper poo and pee It's gross. Empty your trash everyday if you have a kid. It's not fooling anyone. Saved you $60 and your friends might hang out longer Great video BTW on litter management 👍

What pan do you use on the bottom to collect the sawdust?! You are using the pan that came with it? I am using the tray still but searching for a deeper solution as I have to change it every 2-3 days. I love the pine pellets though and have been using them for 3 months. I cut puppy pads to fit the tray.

I like your videos💗💗💗 thank you🌹🌹 I’m from Kuwait🇰🇼😍💗

My 6 yr old feline is pooping outside the litter box after we switched/ transitioned in 10 days. First 2 days it was a success but don’t know she stopped using it to poop in there. Please advice! Should I switched her back to clay

Try Breeze non disintegrating pellets where the urine goes right through the Peloton to the pad no dust no tracking as if you want put a couple of your Pine pellets on the bottom for smell you can watch the breeze pellets use them over and over again

I have the Breeze litter box too. Am I correct that you place the slotted tray on top instead of underneath where it’s supposed to go? And the pads inside the bottom box? Just want to be sure. Thank you!

I've seen the other video & like you, I think this will be best suited for me & my 1 cat. Thanks.

It does work allways smell likely pine the only down fall is when they poop you take some of those pellets out too .i just got a litter bot it cleans itself I don't want to play around with the litter. Any more I just lift out a bag throw it away

Is the box setup a Breeze Litter sifting pan inside an aftermarket pan?

I feed my cats homemade raw food. NO poop smell at all. Ever.

**HELP** Does this system work with the hooded version of breeze tidy cats? Or does the lid fall off easily since the bottom tray is not being used?

Cute cats, I will try it and tell you if mine like it too. Good tips...

Hi which exact tub did you guys purchase for the bottom part?

i had mine for 3 months now and I personally don't put a lot of feline pine on it and that has kept my cats from throwing it everywhere. I really do like how yall placed the diaper bc I was folding the dog pee pads but folding it to fit on the bottom of the litter box . it's so strange that this video was recommended to me oh in case someone did know they make cat genies and they are sold for 14 dollars on target and Walmart its a bit price than 5 dollars but cheaper than baby genies.

Do they have larger cat litter boxes?

I am considering to switch to this but I wonder if one could skip the dog mat underneath the number 1 sawdust? Asking for the planet that would prefer waste avoidance (and just the sawdust with number 2 could go into the compostables)

Whats wrong with the pellets that cone with it

i'm so excited to find this video after finding the cattery's video! i want to switch over to a pine pellet litter system like this to be more green (since clay litter is so terrible for the environment), avoid my kitty's wheat/grass/corn allergy, and also because i've heard great things about the odor control with this setup. i'm very interested in how important you think the puppy pads are to this system; it seems counterproductive to my efforts to be eco-friendly to be throwing away a puppy pad every 2 days for my 2 kitties and was wondering if those using this setup think a biodegradable/compostable litter liner would be effective enough at collecting sawdust and urine in the bottom pan.

Did you put the contents of the whole bag of pine pellets?

Man I love you! hahahaha you just saved me so much money

Is that the original bottom pan? or did you get another one that makes more dead space for saw dust?

Hi! So you said that you went back to using the original bottom tray but what exactly was shown in this video? Is that the original bottom tray that we see in the video or is it another one? Thanks!

What kind of scoop do you use.

I have been using Tidy Cats Breeze XL box with Feline Pine

so i started pine pellets today for my cats, i was also using the info from the video you referenced when you started. but my question is where on the bag does it say its kiln-dried? i got the same brand the other video lady used and then you just said yours is kiln- dried too but i never found it on my bag i bought and i never saw it on your bag you showed....i wanna make sure my cats dont get sick one is very very old.

Is there a way to do this with the XL Breeze Cat litter box??

I'm struggling right now. I switched to this system because I hate clay. I love everything about it when it comes to my male. He acclimated and uses it without a problem. The female, though, seems a bit more sensitive. She first peed on the ground around the box, so I put a puppy pad down just in case. Now, she prefers to pee and poo on it instead of the box. When she does decide to use the box, she won't go very far in and winds up peeing on the lip, which then sprays down onto the ground just outside the box. Sprinkling a little bit of clay on top might work sometimes for her, but then it clogs up the open slots. I really don't want to go back, but I might have to get her a separate box with some other clay alternative so she'll consistently poop there. *also want to add that another point for me doing this is to cut down on waste (I know, puppy pads are almost making up the difference). I don't want to use poop bags, though, or some system of holding the waste. I just flush the poo down the toilet, which for me is pretty close to the litter box room.

Which Pellets are easier on your Kitties paws ? The Breeze pellets or wood pellets.

Can one use plastic litter tray liners instead of puppy pads?

I have the Breeze system and I am just two weeks into using it. I found that it is hard to keep the smell under control when the cats have diarrhea. I have two kittens so they have diarrhea a lot. Do your pellets work okay with diarrhea because the Breeze pellets are terrible with diarrhea?

I know this was posted quite a while ago, but just wanted to mention that we use the Breeze (hooded) box, get the pine pellets at TS, and use the small green scoop to pick up the poo, let the pellets sift through the holes and then flush the poo down the toilet. We're very careful to not flush any pellets and haven't had any problems. We love that it reduced smell so much and is very easy to clean!

Where did you buy the wood pellets?

Great video! Do you really need to use pads?

Did you use the tray provided by the system or decided to get a new litter box to place in the bottom of the sifter?
