Catalyst Pet Multi-Cat Formula Cat Litter

I have been buying cat litter for over 15 years and this is by far the worst one I’ve ever purchased. I have 3 cats that can be somewhat messy but they were tracking this stuff EVERYWHERE, it caked onto their paws and would even stain our velvet sofa (luckily velvet is somewhat cat-proof). I cleaned the litter box multiple times a day and would completely replace the litter once a week and it didn’t matter, it was still caking to their paws and I was still constantly sweeping and vacuuming it up, I even started wiping my cats paws off when they would come out of the litter box but it would annoy them and I was worried they would start associating using the litter box with being annoyed.

I don't understand how people could not like this litter - it's lightweight, biodegradable, made from a reclaimed and renewable resource, and the pee clumps are pretty much on par with clay-clumping litter (which is obnoxiously heavy, not particularly environmentally sustainable, and not biodegradable). I sent a bag of catalyst to both my sister and my mom and now they're both also devotees. I don't mind the scent, but some people do so if you're sensitive, get the unscented (duh).

Love this litter! We don't go through near as much. Scooping is easier when I don't accidentally use too much in the litter boxes. I use this & my Horizon Mnfg Kat Kave super awesome litter boxes.

I’ve purchased this litter twice so far. It’s long lasting. I like the light clean scent. My cats to enjoy using the litter box. I’m very happy with this product and will reorder another bag soon.

I do prefer this to even the best clay litter, both for odor control and environmental reasons, but it has one major drawback shown in the attached photo of my *black* cat’s paw minutes after using the litter box. I’m now constantly finding dusty prints (both paw and butt!) on so many surfaces in my home.

I've tried all types of litter for my cats and so far this is the best I've found. My priority was to eliminate using clay litter, to find something with a more pleasant and odor-reducing scent, and something without large bits that could be tracked around the house. This litter is as close to those priorities as possible. It is very soft, pine/wood scented (which I love, but some might not enjoy it), and with daily cleaning it lasts a good while, nearly two weeks (I have two cats so a bag may last you longer if you only have one cat). Keep in mind that if your cat is like mine and takes a huge dump without covering it, no amount of pine-scented dust is going to save you.

The only thing that bothers me, but is a problem with any cat litter, is that it still does track a lot. You won't find yourself painfully stepping on tiny hard pieces, but you will find pine-dusty paw prints on dark-colored material like clothes or blankets. If seeing paw prints on such items makes you squeamish, then I would not recommend this type of litter. But if you're like me and have long come to accept the unavoidable trade-offs of living with cats, then I would recommend trying this and see how you like it. … more

The smell of this litter is overwhelmingly strong. And there is so much dust that my black cat now has grey paws. And the dust retains the smell so it’s now tracked around my entire house. I’m going back to normal litter ASAP; I guess this wasn’t so eco-friendly since I threw the entire bag in the trash after one day.

I love this litter so much. I ordered 1 bag. Wish I had ordered more, but wanted to try. I wish there were down arrows so we could disagree with all and some of the nonsense. I have no complaints and just ordered 4 more bags and will order more as needed. I have tried just about every litter out there. I'm tired of their smells, dust, heaviness, etc and I will take this over all of them. I am a breeder so believe me I know. Thank you for carrying this litter. I appreciate it and glad to have Orijen back also. :0

I DISAGREE with the reviews I've read: Tracking awful.- It's less worrisome than any other. My 3 cat boxes for 6 cats, have a small carpet remnant (like litter grabbers!) Easily handled. I DISAGREE with scent issues (tho it smells like cedar and pine, vaguely.) [It also comes in unscented!] I have YET to have my house smell like a giant cat box (725 sq feet) even after a month (I toss them monthly, just scoop and add to litter)!!! Other than Poo (its smell dissipates in the air- it doesn't smell when covered up!), no smell. Cost? I used to spend over $110 a month on Tidy cats big container, 28 lbs $15. And my house smelled after 4 days, and changed weekly because that was expe sive. (I scoop I DISAGREE with the reviews I've read: Tracking awful.- It's less worrisome than any other.

(I scoop no less than twice a day, and this is so much Lighter, waste reduced by 60% or more, because urine evaporates, poos are left.) Of the Catalyst, I use 40# every 6 weeks on subscription. I save $55 a month, Never have a smell, and can beat my little carpet remnants weekly (or one could handvac.) I get 20# bags for $25 each, from Chewy. My cats switched over quite easily: half old half new for a week, 25% old, 75% new for a week, then just 3-4" of Catalyst forever. I use storage bins with a hole cut in front. My cats are Big (some are) and they fit under bed and behind a lounge char, and under a desk. I love this so much. I could sell it for you. The only thing I had to use different, was a big wire scoop instead of regular cat litter scoop. Shake it sideways (like panning for gold). Catalyst will always be my go to. Comes regular scent, unscented, and Multicat! Thank you for inventing it!!!! … more

we have tried most cat litters. i like cederiffic- but it doesnt clump. and it tracks all over. I like swheat scoop, pretty well and would say its my 2nd favorite. But catalyst last a really long time with my two cats. and there is virtually no odor. hands down I love this litter best!!!
