Worst cat litter on the market

Let me start by saying I bought this because I’ve had other Arm & Hammer litter before. I’ve also used Tidy Cat, Fresh Step, and multiple others. This does not work. I have multiple cats and multiple shaker type cat boxes. This doesn’t clump, it turns into urine smelling mud. As for the fragrance, I prefer the Glade fragrances, but it isn’t a dealbreaker. This fragrance doesn’t last past the first use and I even have cat litter “houses” to help hide the smell. I’m so glad that I do have multiple cat boxes, because this is now used up and will never be purchased again. For the price paid and the brand, I expected a lot more. I went back to ,y old favorites of Tidy Cat and Fresh Step Light for half the price.

I switched to this recently and am never going back! It’s super lightweight and smells great. It keeps smelling great as it’s used too! I have two cats who use the same box. I used to have to change the the whole box out every three months because the urine smell with the normal clumping litter would be unbearable. I’ve been using this one for almost 6 months and don’t see/smell any reason to switch all of it out! It does track, but no more than the clay kind. My cats easily switched over too and didn’t look back!

The Smell of the litter itself

It's appealing to my nose. I like it very much. Even when the litter is soiled it does the job and still smells pleasant. the texture reminds me of brown sugar

It's appealing to my nose. I like it very much. Even when the litter is soiled it does the job and still smells pleasant. the texture reminds me of brown sugar. I wish it wasn't so expensive and wish it came in a larger bag. I'm always on the hunt for a litter that is suitable for my cats. I have lots of cats as noted before in another review. It's great for multiple cats.

I know many people would love this but ... If you have a cat that loves to clean their feet (I mean really get in there) don't use this one. Both of my cats got sick at the same time. After a trip to the vet they got better so I assumed it was the food. However, I switched back to that litter and they got sick again the following week. Aside from that, even if there weren't these issues I wouldn't really recommend because the litter was EVERYWHERE and I was constantly cleaning up

Smells great and last

Very impressed with how well this smells and how long the smell lasts! It is a bit pricey but save in the end by not needing to dump the entire box every few days

Very impressed with how well this smells and how long the smell lasts! It is a bit pricey but save in the end by not needing to dump the entire box every few days. I absolutely can’t stand the smell of a litter box and use a this 6+weeks, with adding a bit in between. I get two complete box changes and up to 3 months use out of a bag!!! I changed the box when it becomes less effective at clumping. IMO it clumps better than any other and I change based on that instead of smell!

The three cats love this sand.

It would be perfect if the sand didn't stick to the cat's paws and get tracked everywhere. I've tried many different types of cat litter, but this one is the best

It would be perfect if the sand didn't stick to the cat's paws and get tracked everywhere. I've tried many different types of cat litter, but this one is the best because it clumps the waste firmly, making cleanup easy and eliminating the need to clean the cat's litter box. I use a mat around my cat's litter box to prevent sand from scattering.

I think I've used just about every litter on the market and this has been the best by far, and here's why: ** It clumps very solidly, no pieces breaking off ** It's clumps immediately. Often, when I'm scooping the litter boxes and finish one, that's when at least one of my cats will jump in one while I'm on the other. Once they're done, I'll scoop it out. With other litters, there have been gummy puddles, but not with this! It us a gard, dry clumps right away. ** The litter stays DRY! ** There is never any clumps of sticky litter adhering to any of the cats feet, as is common with other brands. ** It's not dusty.

The ease of cleaning the cat box

This litter is much lighter than clay litters, to we humans who clean the box the smell gets bad after a two weeks, but to our kitties it was a bit of adjustment

This litter is much lighter than clay litters, to we humans who clean the box the smell gets bad after a two weeks, but to our kitties it was a bit of adjustment because the feel of the litter is different. We ended up mixing this new litter with the old litter and just adjusted the amount of new litter to old litter every day until they were comfortable with the new litter. Works great, just like in the commercial, we just will not be doing bounce test! Eeewwww!

The first delivery went to the wrong (30) apartment. This was my (buyer)fault. I corrected the apartment to 160 number. Second delivery was delivered to apartment 130 again. At this time, I canceled AutoShip. The apartment manager contacted the tenant in 130. The tenant told the manager the litter was returned to FedEx.. I hope this is true statement and I see a refund on my card

It clumps great but I don't like fragrance in my cat litter and my cats don't either. They are avoiding the one litter box that I used this litter in. The house smells of the synthetic fragrance. I like that the litter is made out of natural materials but a non-scented litter should also be offered.
