I bought some Exqusicat Pearl Fresh kitty litter today. 7.2 lbs. for just under $14. Container says it's made from - Silica sand, oxygen and water. I'm curious about how this stuff performs in certain situations. So I'll be trying various techniques with it.

The appearance is very different from Heartfelt beads. Just the opposite in fact. Heartfelt beads are white. They become clear when water is added. Exqusicat is clear (well almost) and turns whitish when water is added. The beads are quite a bit larger than Heartfelt's. Exquisicat is closer in appearance to Climaxx beads.

Test #1 As the first test, I thought I would treat the Exquisicat just as I would Heartfelt beads. I put about 1/4 lb. (my scale is busted) in a small container. I added 10ml of distilled water. This turned about 2/3 of the beads white. I put the container in a small cooler that already has a couple pieces of cedar and 3 boxes of cigars. The hygrometer read 68% when I opened it. I'll be watching it closely to see what happens.
