I’m trying out blue buffalo’s walnut cat litter. First thing I noticed is that it is heavier than all the other natural cat litters I have tried. I also had to buy the bigger bag because the smaller one would not have been enough.

Hobo has been using it and he is a white cat and now his front paws have turned brown. He grooms himself so why do his paws stay that color. Does blue buffalo add some kind of dye to make it brown to match the color of walnut? Now that I think about it I think they do. The walnuts I’ve seen are a light brown grayish color. The litter actually looks like coffee grounds.

They claim to be the best at odor control but they are worse than the corn for odor control

I went to watch From Up Poppy Hill last Friday at the Landmark Berkeley theater. It was a small group of older people.

The movie was ok. Nothing great. It’s a simplistic tale set in post war Japan. Maybe some day Goro Miyazaki will catch a break and get hold of a story that will let him peak out of his father’s monumental shadow.

Maybe some day will get a movie that will be up to the level of Princess Mononoke or Spirited Away.

I’ve been using the litter for a week now and it’s absolutely the best I’ve used. Extremely easy to scoop like the corn or clay. Great odor control. Much better than the corn. I would clean the corn litter and it would still smell after.

Ratings
5/5 easy scooping
5/5 clumping
5/5 odor control
5/5 dust

So far this one is the best natural cat litter I’ve used and highly recommend it. Depending on how the next litter performs, I’ll probably be using this litter permanently. Next on the list is the walnut litter by blue buffalo

Just got this new bag Exquisicat Natural Corn and Pine Litter. My initial impression is the smell. It smells like they ground up old pine furniture for the pine for this litter. It really does smell like varnished pine not like a christmas tree at all. There doesn’t seem to be much dust and i didnt notice an layering of dust in the room. It is not scoop as well as the pure corn litter or as easily. It also doesnt clump as well either. The clumps seems to break apart too easily. It does control odor very well and not just masking it. The can go and the smell disappears pretty quickly.

3/5 for easy scooping
2/5 for clumping
5/5 for odor control
5/5 for dust

Compared with the corn litter i recently used i would not recommend this one. I would stick with the 100% Corn one so far. I wonder what i’ll pick up next time…

Update: Might have to switch quicker than i planned. Caught Hobo trying to be pee outside the litter box. He seems not to like the litter either…

Update: the litter clumped and scooped so badly that I decided to switch it out. I got the Exquisicat wheat litter.

Excited about Comcast’s new speeds? It’s fine if you are a regular home user but what about business class subscribers?

If you are a Business Class Subscriber you are not getting a speed boost.

Why? Because they already gave you one recently remember? They gave us between 4Mbps to 5Mbps download and 1Mbps to 2Mbps upload. Let me change that to what you actually see when you download. That’s .5 MBps to .625 MBps download and .125 MBps to .25 MBps for upload.

So yeah, even though regular home subscribers and business class use the SAME network, regular home subscribers that pay less get their speeds doubled and Business class subscribers already got their pathetic speed boost months ago.

Glad to see comcast inspiring loyalty in their business class customers.
