jhild, I hate these internet names, is the j for Judy?? Anyway, back to your post, rather than clipping one part of the paragraph I'll post it all, >> As for the cat litter, I own a small chain of about six pet supply stores and in the past 6 months sales for wood based cat litters have gone up almost 150%!, and for the year they are up 275%, while in the past year clay based cat litter sales are down 35% for the year and 20% in the past 6 months. Yet wood based cat litter still makes up less than 15% of total cat litter sales in my stores, and this leads me to conclude that if this trend continues with only half the momentum it has been then in only a few years wood based cat litters will dominate the industry. Although the idea of wood based cat litter is far from new, I do beleive that it is still just begining and anyone entering this business now will most likely do very well. <<
Now if this poster is telling the truth and I have no reason not to believe him, or her, then this is the type of person we have to rely on for information at the retail pet shop level. One of many sources of potential DD. Feel free to share your knowledge of the litter market with us.
