Cat's Pride Premium Lightweight Fresh Scented Clumping Clay Cat Litter, 17.5-lb pail

To crack this open, I recommend a sharp hatchet or 20V reciprocating saw. Inside, you will find this lovely light weight sand. Well lovely until you pour it into the litter box, as it is reminiscent of the dust bowl of 1930 when you do. I choked, I gagged, I could not see, as there was dust everywhere, and the cats ran out of the room for self preservation. After the dust settled, I was tasked with vacuuming, dusting, and the cleaning of nick-nacks...it was a mess. To complete the daily scoop & sift, I suggest goggles and a face mask to protect yourself from this dust getting in your eyes and lungs...not kidding here! Scooping and sifting causes such dust plumes, it causes me to cough To crack this open, I recommend a sharp hatchet or 20V reciprocating saw. Inside, you will find this lovely light weight sand.

Scooping and sifting causes such dust plumes, it causes me to cough and irritates my eyes, that I had to discard the remaining litter and replace with another brand from a near by store. I will not purchase this product in the future, if it is not healthy for me to clean up, then it cannot be healthy for the cats to use. … more

One of the most difficult containers of anything I have ever opened! Almost gave up and then the lid just popped off. Super, super dusty! Not sure what their idea of odor control is because this is probably the worst odor control I have ever had. The worst part is how quickly and how much of the litter my cats tracked through the house in a short period of time. It’s like beach sand and they tracked it everywhere. It did seem to clump well, but not enough to out-weigh all of my other issues with it.

This litter does not clump. I have tried many brands and styles of litter over the years, this is the worst there is.If you need a cheap lightweight litter and do not care about the "clumps" falling apart as you scoop them, this is the brand for you. Also, it stinks.Literally smells horrid after my cats used it. I try to be objective when judging a product and this is my opinion of the worst clumping litter ever.

I didn't like this litter at all. I have 2 kittens that are only 2 pounds and their poo could stink the whole house up and this did nothing to control the smell. I scoop several times a day and it didn't help I used the whole pail in a week because I had to constantly dump it or and put fresh in.

I won't be ordering this litter again even if my cat likes it, because getting the lid off the bucket is ridiculous. There's a tear strip -- OK, no problem. But removing it does nothing. I ended up using a claw hammer and a cast iron pry bar to lever the lid off. It would have been easier to break into my house. I'll try some other lightweight brands and forego the insane packaging.

The product is fine but my lower rating is due to opening the lid. I need the Avengers to assemble so I can use Hulk's strength to open the lid. Come on people! It shouldn't be that hard to design something that can pop off easier than what it does. Seriously get a clue.

It's better than Tidy Cat lightweight but not as good as the Arm & Hammer lightweight that was discontinued. It doesn't clump as well as the A&H litter. But scoops much better than the Tidy Cat and doesn't track like that one does. I will purchase it again.

This product looks like it is made of the dust that is left behind when the stone crushers are cleaned after making the better quality cat litters. I bought this because Chewy was out of the brand I usually buy. The first bucket I opened was only about 1/4 full. I passed that off as extreme settling. The second bucket was 3/4 full. The cat seemed okay with the litter. It doesn't go very far because it is basically heavy dust. It doesn't so much clump as form solid blocks that require scrapping out of the litter box.

We purchased this out of necessity. Needed a flushable litter after radiation treatment to our two cats. It served the purpose but we would not buy it as everyday litter. It did not clump as well as others & tracked badly.

Only received 2 of the 4 containers of cat litter that I ordered. When I check the tracking, there is nothing listed past Dec 17th. Not sure if it’s on back order or if it’s been cancelled. I believe my credit card was charged for the entire order.
