Blue Naturally Fresh Clumping Litter Fantastic find!
Excellent I have two cats that are white and I have not found the same problems as the ones listed. This litter controls odor and does not track dust like other litter. Excellent product that I highly recommend.
Tracks and Struggles to Control Odor but No Dust! Our cat eats Blue Buffalo canned food and his litter box is in our living room. Perhaps needless to say it's imperative that we have a litter that controls odor but doesn't kick a bunch of dust or artificial perfumes into the air especially since the cat seems to favor using his box right before I'm ready to eat. We've been through a variety of litters none of which we were really satisfied with. When I heard BB was coming out with a litter I was eager to try. From the very first use it became obvious how obnoxiously this litter tracks. The pieces are so big and my cat is not only messy but RUNS! away from the litter box when he's done that the pieces are always all over the carpet but I'm willing to deal with that because I don't choke on litter dust for the next twenty minutes after he's been in there.
Fantastic find! After trying many litters and settling with Scoop away for yearsthey just changed their formula and the smell is horrendous. Therefore I started to look again for an alternative. I have 2 cats odor control is a must.Totally love this product. It's a fantastic find. It has NO DUST which is incredible. And even better is NO ODOR at all for days! I bought the clump one but it won't clump like an ordinary product though. The walnut will get saturated with liquid and kinda fall apart desintegrate. So the scooping is not so easy. But it's an easy compromise when dealing with no smell at all.
Worst. Litter. Ever. I usually use World's Best but when I went to buy new litter it was out of stock. I thought I would give this a shot.I will say that it controls odor very well. Cat odor that is. The litter itself smells like dirt. I sort of got used to it over time.That's all I can say about it that's good.It is VERY dusty. Like wearamasktoscoop dusty. And the dust is brown. There is a layer of brown on everything.Additionally it tracks everywhere. More so than the corn litter for some reason.Since my cats have white paws I can always tell when they've been in the box since they look like they're wearing brown kneesocks.In short I absolutely cannot recommend this litter.
Controls odor but is very messy I bought this cat litter after previously using Swheat Scoop litter in the past because it promised to be better at controlling odor. I will admit that the odor control of this litter is superior to the Swheat Scoop. However this litter has proven to be a cleaning nightmare. The dark walnut color has gotten all over my white tile floor and been tracked across my house including my bedding and my white sofa. I was told at the pet store when I purchased this litter that it was a low tracking low dust product don't be fooled it's simply a messy aggravation you don't need to add to your life.
Messy product The odorkilling aspect of this litter is fine and it has little dust. However it makes a large dark mess on the lightcolored carpet the litter box is on.Vacuuming has not been sufficient to get rid of the discoloration. I now will have to get out the rug shampoo. Once is enough for this purchase that I hadhad high hopes for.
Best one so far This is the best clumping nonclay based litter I have tried so far. It clumps faster and more important it is does a better job of reducing odor than sWheat. It is much more expensive than the nonclumping litters but it last much longer so is cheaper in the long run. I like that it is US made and 100% compostable.

Fresh Step Extreme Scoopable Clumping Heavily scented and super dusty
Best Litter Yet! This is the best litter I have ever bought. Normally I would never write a review about cat litter but this does the trick especially with four indoor cats! It does have a smellwhich resembles men's cologne but you only notice it when your face is in the litter box while you are scooping. I would much rather THAT smell than the urine and feces odor. Give it a try you might just come to like it.
Will stick to cat's paws and track around the house I always buy one version of Fresh Step or the other. This particular one smells too strong like really cheap men's cologne and every day I find mud like tracks all over my hardwood floors. This litter must not absorb as quickly or as well and ends up forming a clay like substance that the cat then proceeds to track throughout the house. Yuck. Going back to the store to pick up a different type before this one even runs out.
This litter smells horrible! How ironic is it that Extreme Odor Control litter actually has its own HORRIBLE scent? I have 3 cats and had high hopes for this product but will never buy it again. My mom also bought it for her cats and said the same thing about it. We will both stick with the original Fresh Step Scoop.
Great Litter! This is a great litter for odor control. It has a strong fresh scent that lasts for days.
Horrible for cat's paws!!!!!! I agree with the other reviewsthis litter's fragrance is far too strong. However the worst problem is that the litter clumps can attach to your cat's paws. I discovered that my poor cat had clumps the size of peas which were in between the pads of all of his paws. You can imagine that trying to get these off his paws was a horrible timeconsuming experience for both of us!I can't imagine that this product would be good for cats to ingest. That's exactly what instinct tells them to do to clean themselves. If we can't stand the strong scent then imagine licking clumps of this litter! No wonder he was throwing up!This is the first bad experience I've ever had with a cat litter product. Do not buy this product. You'll end up cleaning your hardwood floors your cat's paws and inhaling and smelling this strong strong scent.
Heavily scented and super dusty Let me start by saying I prefer non clumping litter. I normally use Fresh Step non clumping and haven't had a single issue with it. I wanted to see if clumping litter would have an advantage so I picked up Fresh Step extreme odor control clumping litter. I have a single 5 month old kitten so I figured extreme odor control would be more than adequate.First this litter is incredibly dusty. I use a hooded litter pan and my cat comes out covered in dust and with the dust comes an odd perfume smell that is added to this litter. There is no way around it your cat will be covered in dust and smell exactly like this product.

Arm Hammer Multi Cat Strength Clumping Low tracking litter; scoops easily
Arm & Hammer Multi-Cat Strength Clumping Litter, 28-Pound Read more...- Multi-cat releases a fresh clean scent with every use.
- It clumps hard and fast to lock in odors on contact.
- Activated Baking Soda Crystals
Works I've used about 3 boxes of this brand and find it works well. I've had no problems it clumps well. Tracking isn't too bad and it does a great job at containing odors. That being said the scent of this litter is quite over powering. Although the scent itself isn't bad it might be a problem for those with a sensitive nose or are picky.I look forward to trying the unscented version if I can ever find it instore. I really do like the packaging of this brand. There is a pour spout at one edge that makes things a lot easier.Arm & Hammer is worth a try and tends to be cheaper than brands such as Tidy Cats.
Low tracking litter scoops easily Can't go wrong with Arm & Hammer clumping cat litter products if that is what you are seeking. This size box is a nice size and works great for multiple cat households. The product's smell is a bit strong initially but it works well to cover the scents associated with urine etc and it works great at masking those types of odors before you can scoop it. For the price offered on Amazon it is a good deal. Tracking for this is low although there will be some but that is to be expected with any smaller clumpingtype litter.
Great product! We use this litter for our ferrets and it is pretty good. It soaks up the odor from use of multiple ferrets. I guess the only problem I had was that the smell of the litter can be strong when you first use it.

Tidy Cats Premium Spaces Litter One of the worst I've used...but maybe it's just my cats
Tidy Cats Premium Scoop Small Spaces Cat Litter Read more...- 27-lb pail
Awful chemical smell This cat litter smells ok right out of the container but as soon as my cat actually uses the litter something about the combination of urine and whatever is in the litter produces an overpowering chemical smell that saturates the entire room. This smell is worse than plain cat urine if that's possible and I nearly threw up when I scooped the litter box. I immediately switched back to my other brand of cat litter catattract.
One of the worst I've usedbut maybe it's just my cats I have 2 14/12 year old cats who have always used a covered litter box and I've always lived with hardwood floors. This is the WORST tracking litter I have ever used. Most people are complaining about the smell which is kind of yucky but my biggest problem is there is litter all over my house. My dark hardwoods are covered I have to sweep/vacuum and mop several times per day. It's in the sofa it's even in my bed! GROSS! And I don't just mean a little dust or a few stray pieces. I mean their paws are completely coated with the stuff every time they exit the box. I also clean the box several times per day. I don't know what the problem is here but I'm revolted by this one. But like I said maybe it's somehow my cats because I don't see anyone else complaining about this.
TIDY CATS SMALL SPACES GETS THE JOB DONE I love this litter. It does a great job. There is not a strong scent and my cats love it. My litter boxes are in a small space and it helps a lot. Especially now that there is more than one kitten in the house.
Horrible smelling litter I agree that the cucumbermelon scent is horrible. It smells like rotting cantaloupe. It was in the back bathroom but the smell permeated the whole house especially after the litter was just used. I could barely go into the bathroom. I've used other Tidy Cat litters and they have been fine and I'm not sure exactly what variety this particular one was but the smell was really revolting. The cat litter smell would have been better. Honestly I've never smelled anything quite like it short of rotting garbage. It's like a chemical cantaloupe smell. It's coming out ASAP in favor of unscented litter or another type.In fact the smell was so bad that I took time out of my busy day to google Tidy Cat and melon to see if anyone else had had problems with it. As if I had nothing else to do. Really who has time to sit around Googling cat litter brands? That should tell you all that it was pretty bad.
Love this Litter! AllergyFriendly I absolutely love this litter. I have tried several different litters and none have been better for my multicat household 6 resident cats plus the occasional 1 I catsit. Not only does it clump great reduce odors quickly 99% dustfree but the scent is not overpowering. I have both asthma and allergies so this makes a huge difference for me. My guests are usually shocked that my house does not smell with the amount of cats I have.Just a Side note I just recently decided to be cheap and bought a huge carton of the Arm & Hammer Fresh Scent MultiCat litter and it was by far the worst litter I have ever tried. The scent was SO overpowering and dusty that I had to wear a mask to scoop out the litter boxes. You could smell the litter the minute you walked into my house. I definetly learned my lesson and switched back to Small Spaces! Wal Mart & Target have the best prices.
Warning! It's scented! As soon as I poured this stuff in the litterbox my nose was assaulted by a very strong perfumey odor. There was nothing on the outside of the package to indicate that this was scented litter. I called the company and was told that all their cat litter is scented with a cucumbermelon fragrance.My nasal pasages felt like they were burning so I ran right out and bought another brand.
Okay litter horrible scent I just adopted a new cat and this was the only litter available to buy in the shelter. Considering I live in a tiny apartment I figured this would be a good buy. It's not as good as it seemsPros* My cat seems to enjoy the feel of it on her paws* It does what it claims kitty waste is clumped up for easy removable with very little breakage.Cons* It tracks all over the house. Everywhere.* It's scented and it's not even scented WELL. It smells somewhat like a rotting orange especially when cat urine hits it. No amount of kitty digging seems to get rid of the smell.
Best thing ever! I was using Tidy cats immediate odor control in my bedroom which worked well to stop pet odors. However the litter itself stunk up my room so bad that I questioned the intelligence of bringing a cat into an apartment. Since I already love my new cat I couldn't take back my decision so I changed litter to this. It has a delightful smell that freshens my room and my cat barely noticed a change. It works well to keep his smells down too. I love this litter.

Pestell Pet Products Scoopable Low Track No so Low Track as listed
Pestell Pet Products Easy Clean Scoopable Litter Low-Track 40lb Poly Bag with Handle Read more...- Provides excellent odor control
- Easy and clean to use
IT'S THE CAT'S MEOW Was using another litter product from Amazon that I and my 3 little scamps were quite satisfied. Read reviews on this product that were very positive and noticed the great price along with free shipping. HAD TO GIVE IT A SHOT! Happy that I did. It works just as well as the one that is double the price. There is some scattering but it is minimal.
No so Low Track as listed I am always searching for dust free or as close as possible litter. This litter rates higher than others I have tired. It is very fine like sand. I think my cats used it the same as the other litter I tried before which was much chunkier but I don't really know which they like best. I would say this is about 90 percent dust free. It does track more than I would likehowever it is easier on the cats' paws because it is so fineit is a catch 22. Their comfort over mine I suppose.
Best Clumping Litter I have tried many cat litters over the past 30 years this one is the best in my opinion. It clumps well and does not turn into a sticky paste on litter box walls. Plus it is half the price of the litter Dr. Elsey's Premium Litter I had been using prior to this one. No perfumes and my five cats love it. You can buy in 20 lb bags if the 40 lb weight is too much to handle. It also ships via Prime Membership.
Best Litter I have three cats and have used ever litter in the world including world's best cat litter biodegradable litter baking soda litter etc. This brand is hands down the best so far. I highly recommend it for homes w/ multiple cats as it is effective in clumping and not smelling. My cats have the Litter Robot and this litter never causes any problems.
Easy cleanup and not smelly It clumps up like mud which is easy to remove from the box with a trowel and scoop. The remaining litter doesn't get smelly. I'll reorder this for sure.
cat litter It makes too much white dust. It is not ideal for the house now I have white dust all over.
GREAT CAT LITTER!!! Finally found a cat litter that is inexpensive compared to others and does not cause too much mist in the air when it needs to be changed as noted. Thanks Amazon again for the great product.

Natures Earth Feline Pine Litter LOOKING FOR A BETTER SCOOP FOR FELINE PINE PELLETS?
Nature's Earth Feline Pine Wide Slot Litter Scoop Read more...- Supplies and Accessories
- Litter Boxes & Scoops
- Cats
- Clean Up
Junk The holes in this scoop are way too large they let everything through. I've tried using it multiple times and crap/sawdusty litter always falls through the holes. Also how does this thing cost $8.00 to ship?? What a ripoff. Stay away.
Put simply does not work. I do prefer the Feline Pine litter to the clay litters however it's been a real struggle looking for a scoop that works. This product was a nice idea in theory but in action does not work at all. The idea is to let the sawdust fall through without wasting the pine chips however the slots in this scoop are wide enough to let everything through. No bueno.
Works great with feline pine! I got this free cause of an offer on one of the bags but I would have paid for it if I had to. Works very well with the litter.
HOLES ARE TOO SMALL Holes are too small for feline pine to sift through the litter gets stuck in the holes!!A CHEAP ALTERNATIVE use a box cutter to cut out every other prong from the plastic litter scoop you already have. I have four scoops from the dollar store with every other plastic bit cut out and all of them work better than this scoop. I purchased this product because I thought it would look nicer or work better. I regret my vanity.If you want this product anyway check a pet store I only paid $4.
Disappointed I love using Feline Pine pellets for my three cats but hate wasting money on scoops with slots too narrow that the unused pellets cannot slip through. The Feline Pine scoop does not work for me as the pellets get stuck between the slots and I waste a lot of litter. I did see a litter organizer from Fresh Kitty that included a scoop with extra wide slots and bought it at Petco. You can also buy this online. This is the perfect scoop for my mulitple cat family that uses pellet type litter. I just wish I could find it at a local store again so that I can save on shipping charges. Petco has not had it in stock since my original purchase.
good This is a great sifter scoop for Feline Pine. I had a cheap scooper from the pet store and noticed that it collected feces on it and got all moldy and gross! This scoop does not do that and it sifts the unused pellets right back into your litter box. Feline Pine litter the official sifting box and this scoop are all really great. It's the best experience I've ever had dealing with a litter box! Plus it's much better for the environment my cat and my house! Cannot recommend Feline Pine stuff enough.
LOOKING FOR A BETTER SCOOP FOR FELINE PINE PELLETS? Look at my review for Ultra Pet Little Pearls Litter Scoop 1Count Scoop Pack of 6 com/gp/product/B0035M36BK/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_titleI've been using a very similar scoop for about 6 years its bottom was almost entirely round holes I can't tell the shape/size of the front holes from this picture.
Use with Feline Pine I use this because it's basically the only one I've found that works with Feline Pine but be careful because it can break. Mine is broken a little but still usable. It is also annoying when you have to pick up very small pieces because you have to keep them at the very front of the scoop so they don't fall through and sometimes they do as I'm moving them. It is also not available at any retail store I've ever seen. If another wide slot scoop was available I might give it a try next time.
waste of money and pellets The price online was pretty low but S&H was so high. It all added up to more than $10 for tiny scoop. And it does not work for my kittens either practically everything falls thru including waste if middle part is used. or everything excluding dust from pellets stays in it . I ended up using corner of my old regular scoop. Product was useless for me.
Good for it's purpose if you must use feline pine. It works better than a normal scoop for sifting through the feline pine pellets but it does make it pretty difficult to pick up the smaller pieces of kitty poo causing me a lot of frustration and annoyance. Kind of the lesser of 2 evils to me.

Arm Hammer Alert Clumping Litter It "alerts" all right...
Arm & Hammer Odor Alert Clumping Litter - 12 lb Read more...- 12-lb box
Strong artificial scent This product has a strong artificial scent that permeated several rooms of our house. I personally found it nauseating. No one here liked the odor. In my opinion it was worse than a dirty cat box.I'll go back to my old standby of Arm&Hammer Unscented.If you like strong artificial scents you might not mind it.
Odor Be Gone Our newest addition a crazy with socalled crazy eyes meant some new purchases as well. Since I haven't owned a cat in years and have never owned one by myself I solicited some advice about products. I opted to go with Arm and Hammer Odor Alert because it has a friendly price and was a trusted name.It seemed interesting with crystal which turn colour when wet to alert you to the clumps hence the name Odor Alert. I haven't been knocked off my feet by this feature yet. Although the crystals are easy to identify they seem to be easily triggered. As we keep the litter box in the bathroom near the shower where moisture runs rampant I think the crystals tend to change colour because of that. In retrospect I should have thought about that when buying Arm and Hammer Odor Alert cat litter. But so should they when making it. Bathrooms are a popular place for litter boxes.My other beef with the colour changing crystals in this cat litter is that sometimes they don't alert you to clumps. Sometimes they are wet but don't clump. I think that this cat litter clumps decently so it's just an issue of the crystals turning colour prematurely. Needless to say I've never actually used the blue crystals to my advantage when scooping out the litter.Many people seem to be offended by the scent of this cat litter. I cannot say the Odor Alert is odorless but it doesn't phase me. It simply smells a little fruity or flowery like many cat litters and when mixed with the scent of cat matter it isn't wonderful but it won't kill me either. You can tell when a cat has used the potty because it 'increases' the scent. In the future I may try and odorless litter instead.I am happy to say that my kitty had no adverse reaction to Odor Alert cat litter by Arm and Hammer. We did buy a litter box mat because my cat does track some of the litter into the bathroom and when wet it sort of melts into the floor and takes a lot of scrubbing to get off.
It Stinks! We have been using Arm & Hammer MultiCat and other Arm & Hammer cat litters for years and we absolutely love them. However when we moved to NYC the only Arm & Hammer litter we found in nearby stores was the Odor Alert version which we had not tried before. We bought it and figured that it would be fine given our previous experience with the Arm & Hammer brand. However once we started using it we realized that it smells absolutely horrible. It is VERY odoriferous and honestly the one thing that comes to mind when I smell it is fruity vomit. The colorchanging technology doesn't appear to us to be anything impressive and certainly nothing to justify living with the smell. It clumps well and does the job but I will not be using it ever again due to the horrible odor.
Stay Away. I use Fresh Step clumping litter for my cat until we ran out one day and my wife picked up Arm and Hammer litter at convenience store. It does not clump nearly as well absorb odors nearly as well and costs much more than Fresh Step scoopable car litter. It's a day and night difference. Stay away from Arm and Hammer.
It alerts all right We've been trying new litters in our rolling boxes to find one that clumps well and controls odor without too much artificial scent as I am allergic to the heavy fragrances.We're never buying Odor Alert again. The entire box goes blue within one use. While there is no overpowering fragrance it's as if there is no odor control within the litter at all. Instead I get this nasty worse than full litter box stench that wafts up my stairs if the box is not cleaned twice a day and more clean litter added to the box. It is so bad I do not need to see the inside of the box in order to know it needs to be cleaned.We will continue on our quest to find a good litter. This one however is not it.

Great litter We have 2 cats and this is the best litter we have purchased for them. We will not buy any other litter. Minimizes smells and easy to scoop. Would highly recommend.
worst cat litter ever!!!! I have tried them all and this earns the title MOST HORRIBLE CAT LITTER.It's not only terrible on odor control it also clumps poorly is dusty clumps fall apart and its a nightmare to clean afterwards. I also heard from a vet post purchase that its bad for your cats who can either breath in the unhealthy dust it is dusty or suffer horribly if the swallow even a small amount due to self cleaning. Bad for my cats and bad for me. DOUBLE BLECH!Back to Feline Pine and World's Best either of which are better than this garbage.
excellent litter After using regular storebought litter for years and having difficulty in keeping the smell down we tried this. I am amazed and very pleased at how well it controls the smell how well it clumps in solid chunks and how dustfee it is.It is not the fault of the manufacture of the litter but of the shipper. We ordered four 18lb bags and they were shipping in the most ridiculous way. They came in two huge boxes taken up mostly by yards of packing material. The boxes were torn and in poor condition. These small bags should have been shipped in smaller more sturdy cartons. Total waste of material and our time in disposing of all the boxes and packing material.These came from a vender called Wag. I'd definitely advise not ordering from them.
Great! I needed something to use with a scooplesscleaning litterbox so it needed to clump well and I refuse to have a house that smells like a litterbox so the litter needed to lock in smell.
The BEST cat litterEVER! Before I start this review let me start by saying that I do NOT work for the company or anything like that. I am just a crazy cat lady that has a loving husband that is a just as crazy about them as I. All of our cats yes 7 CATS are rescue catswe have either gotten them from someone needing to give them to a good home they have come up to our door or we have taken ownership through adopting.We have 2 cats that have cystitis. If anyone knows about that it can be a real bummer when it comes to them needing to use the litter box. Sometimes they do sometimes they don't. Then we found that one of our cats has asthma. I started to do research on asthma and found that a lot of times litter and dust from the litter can wreak havoc on an asthmatic cat. Well in my search to find the PERFECT litter so that our little boy could breath better without having to take steroids constantly I came across some information that because a lot of litter has silica in it can actually CAUSE respiratory problems!! I have noticed in our other cats that they ALL have some sort of coughing or wheezing going on!! Now I know why!!!So there were several litters out there that were just soso. Then I came across this onewhen I was almost ready to give up! I swear it just popped onto the screen and I thought oh what's this one?? Cats do NOT like perfumey smells in their litter. They also do not like citrus smells. try taking an orange out and cutting it up and put it near the cathe'll RUN!oh this is also good to put in areas where they may sprayit will keep them from going back. Anyway that is one thing they don't like is for their litter box to have a scent. Therefore when this one popped up I took a look at all the reviews and wowmost of them were all 5's! The only real drawback was that it comes in a heavy bagbut whatever! It is SO worth it to know I have a healthier place for our kids to go to the bathroom.
as far as litter goes.. Its good stuff! so I have three Persian cats. Long hair floufy personalities you get the picture.. I have tried every cat litter I mean everything from natural pine to sheets scoop to tidy cat worlds best crystALs and beyond.here are my issues .. muddyness tracking smell.while most litters will accomplish one or two of those tasks usuAlly the third is unusually lacking.I purchased this litter after a nightlong search on forums again for the best cat litter and gave this a shot.the item was shipped quickly and free I'm sorry but amazon prime definitely beats lugging a bag of litter through the petsmart into the car and into the house!the texture is similar to tidy cats but has less of a smell actually it has very little fragrance. My favorite attribute to this litter Is the particle size being more consistent which meant less dust on their fuzzy coats and less tracking on my bathroom floor. My second favorite attribute is the clumping. Now all cat litter can clump but this stuff isolates the issue clumps and doesn't require a full litter change or a jackhammer to clean out. So many litters fall apart while scooping which turns into a muddy mess or they are so hard you have to take half the litter box with you to get it out. This stuff seems to cut right down the middle.the cats don't seem to have as many clingons when they walk out and they have a poop nugget stuck to their fur as usual I'm not sure why but I'm not complaining .overall it seems this litter with a dash of the scented baking soda the one made for litter boxes after scooping Results in a clean less tracked litter that is pretty easy to clean. Plus I love having my delivery guy worry about it and it just shows up at my door.
Did a side by side comparison I have 7 cats. Not long ago I went on a mission to find the best cat litter I could get my hands on. Based on high recommendations I bought a large bag of this and a large bag of Ever Clean Litter. I had two boxes going side by side to compare the two. This litter did clump decently but not as well as Ever Clean. The real difference was in one quality that is my biggest issue with cat litter tracking and scattering. This cat litter failed miserably in that regard when compared to the Ever Clean in the box next door to it. It was all over the place. Now each cat owner's circumstances and litter management system will affect how well a litter performs so let me explain our set up. We have 7 cats as I mentioned. We use the Litter Robot litter boxes. They are large globes that rotate after each use tumbling and sifting the cat litter before dumping clumps into a large drawer under the globe. Solid clumping is essential for this system to be optimally effective. We did see more crumbled clumps with this litter but not enough for that to be a deal breaker in and of itself. The crumbling of some clumps and the dispersal of the crumbs throughout the litter did contribute to the premature failure of the odor controlling capacity although this litter did control odor better when fresh out of the bag. The Ever Clean was able to control odor longer if not as well as Precious Cat from the gitgo.
The best I've found I have two kitties who have had problems in the past with allergies related to litter. One gets a rash I find a new litter she clears up then the other one starts to have problems. We've been on a seemingly endless cycle of different litters for years not to mention antihistamines for the kitties allergies.My search is at an end. This stuff is working great and so far after 6 weeks of use neither of the kitties is showing any signs of allergies.It is dustfree seriously I see NO dust at all when I pour it into the box it clumps better than any other brand I've used and it definitely reduces odors without covering them up with some other odor.
Clumping Disaster I don't know where all of the rave reviews are coming from. I bought this because my cat sitter suggested it. It may do a lot of things well but job 1 for me with a clumping cat litter is clumping. When this stuff gets wet it turns into supper glue at the bottom of the litter pan. It can't handle even modest amounts of liquid waste without oversaturating. I would not recommend this product to anyone.
No more sneezing! While the 40 lb. bag of Dr. Elsey's is a better bargain I prefer the 18 lb. bags as they are easier to lift and carry. I've been using this for awhile and forgot how dusty and heavily scented the Tidy Cats was when I recently ran out of Dr. Elsey's and bought Tidy Cats instead the sneezing started up again.PROSHardly any dust I stopped sneezing as well as my cats.Firm clumps that don't break apart when the cats are digging and burying their treasures.As inexpensive as storebrand litter since I buy it locally with no shipping.Easy to vacuum out of the carpeting.CON The 40 lb. bag is heavy and cumbersome. The 18 lb. bag is much easier to handle but costlier. When I get it home I pour it into a 5 gallon plastic bucket making it easier to handle.This would be perfect if it came in a jug and not a bag but it's still worthy of 5 stars.
