Mimic shmimic. What qualities/purpose are you lookin for in a bedding? That might give you a better idea of what to look for. Are you looking for something inexspensive ? Aesthetic looking? what exactly.....there are just sooo many beddings out there. A newer one that I'm "piloting" is called Kitty's Crumble...it's made of 100% ground coconut fibers, and comes outta the bag moist. Holds great humidity, and cheap, because it's marketed as a "eco-friendly" cat litter. I'm tryin it out as hatch medium too.
