Looking for a coarse blade for Cat`s Best Nature Gold (the pellets of Cat`s Best) I've encountered at Fressnapf this scoop ... everyone else had elongated slots and were fine texture. The shape (large bucket, comic style) has put me off first. In everyday use, however it turns out to be the best bucket for my coarse clumping litter. One does not shake the bucket as other stray shoveling, but it pivots elegant flick of the wrist, which minimizes the formation of dust. The surface is extra smooth, it remains much less hang, as in the other models relevant brands. Am thrilled!
