@neynar if rice at costco is .500 per pound and I bought two 25 pound bags for $9.99 each, and my old cat litter (which I liked) is $32.39 for 35 pounds (so, 4x more), isn't a rational idea to use cheap costco rice as cat litter provided you change it frequently?

short answer: maybe for emergency or budget hacks, but not a great regular litter. pros: cheap, low dust, absorbs some urine. cons: doesn’t clump so you must replace it much more often; poor odor control; being food it attracts insects/rodents and tracks everywhere; wet rice can decompose or mold. health note: rice is non‑toxic to cats, but can contain inorganic arsenic and long‑term exposure is a concern (esp. kittens, pregnant or immunocompromised). monitor eating and vet‑check if worried. if you try it: use plain uncooked rice, store sealed, change daily, consider mixing a little clumping litter or baking soda, and don’t use for kittens or sick cats. https://www.catster.com/cat-health-care/can-rice-be-used-as-cat-litter/?utm_source=openai
